SUMMARY
- NBA star Zach LaVine's personal life has been in the spotlight due to his recent marriage to girlfriend Hunter LaVine.
- The couple is expecting their second child.
Zach LaVine has been in the league for around 10 seasons now. The star guard from Renton, Washington, has played for two NBA franchises in 10 years. After the Minnesota Timberwolves drafted him in 2014, LaVine played around three seasons with them. Later, the Chicago Bulls acquired ‘Zach Attack’ in exchange for Jimmy Butler and the rights to Justin Patton.
As the 2024 NBA trade deadline approaches, LaVine is all over the headlines, be it because of his injury-prone history or his bad gameplay lately. However, his personal life is as happening as his life on the hardwood. LaVine jumped the broom with his longtime girlfriend, and soon they will be a family of four. Hunter Mar (her maiden surname) was born on February 10, 1997, in the United States.
Hunter LaVine, wife of the Chicago Bulls star, has earned a great social media following after publicizing her relationship with the former UCLA guard ‘Zach Attach’. She now has a massive Instagram following of over 94K, with a meager 58 posts alone. What many people don’t know is that Hunter is also a former athlete. She played for the Seattle Redhawks women’s team in her university days.

However, now she has turned to the occupation of an influencer, where she often posts snippets from her personal and professional life. Hunter bore a baby boy with LaVine on August 21, 2022. They named their firstborn child Saint Thomas LaVine and are now expecting a second one. The couple bombarded the NBA fans with this news in December 2023.
As per reports, Hunter LaVine (formerly Mar) has a net worth ranging between $1 million and $5 million as of 2023. On the other hand, LaVine has an average salary of $40,064,220 for the 2023–24 season. Keeping all this information in mind, the saga of how these two childhood sweethearts met is worth knowing.
How did Zach LaVine meet Hunter?
LaVine’s romance spans over a decade, as the two met when he was only 17 years old. The 6-foot-5 guard attended Bothell High School in Washington, United States. This is where he met her to-be ‘wife’ and the romance brewed thereon. Following their time in Bothell, the two then went to universities. LaVine went to UCLA College, and Hunter pursued her career in soccer.

It was soon after college that Zach began his career in the pro league, and within a couple of years, the two announced their engagement. While a couple of sources on the internet claim the two are married, it goes without saying to take the rumors about a blooming romance with a grain of salt. Whatever their relationship may be, the two seem pretty committed to each other.
