Jimmy Butler has been living his best life as an NBA player lately. The 6x NBA All-Star has shown just how dominant he can be during the postseason as well. His peers often claim that Butler is almost unguardable. Nobody knew that he possessed these skills which adds the icing to the cake. His true potential was put on display when he signed with the Miami Heat and there might be a legitimate reason behind it as well.
Over the years, the former Most Improved Player of the Year has been linked to having relationships with several women. Fans certainly believe that Butler secretly had something going on with Showtime’s Rachel Nichols, who was with ESPN in 2020 at the time of these rumors. A short interview hosted by Nichols went rival after fans speculated that he might have slept with her during the NBA Bubble.
However, Jimmy Butler might have been with Kaitlin Nowak at the time. Nowak is well-versed in the field of communications as she has a degree in Public Relations and Advertising.
She studied at the University of Nebraska but she put aside all her credentials to pursue a career in modeling. Sources claim that Butler and Nowak began dating in 2019. They were extremely private about their relationship and Jimmy prefers to keep his personal life away from the limelight.

You might believe that Jimmy Butler’s girlfriend motivated him to become the Heat’s leader. Nowak got pregnant with his child in early 2019 and Rylee was given birth later in October. The Head Coach of the Miami Heat, Erik Spoelstra was the one who announced that Butler became a father. The player missed the first three games of his Heat debut season.

Jimmy has often explained how important it is to him to be a good father. He took time out of the NBA Bubble to visit his daughter who was probably just a few months old. Butler also shared a wholesome message to Rylee during an interview with GQ.
He said, “With my blood running through your veins, we’re not intimidated by anybody, no matter what color their skin is, if they’re male, female, how tall they are, how fast. We don’t care. You’re going to be the best.”

Getting back to his relationship with Kaitlin Nowak, their status remains unknown. Kaitlin’s social media profiles are all private while Butler hasn’t posted pictures with her. All we know is that our 2x Eastern Conference Champion is trying his best to be a great father. Butler once expressed how important it was for him to be a father first, and then an NBA player.
