Clippers star Chris Paul is big on family. When the All-Star point guard hit the red carpet for the BET Awards Sunday, his wife Jada was by his side for date night. The two shared the story with Necole Bitchie of how they met as teens in North Carolina, what couples inspire them and how they keep it cute in the age of social media.
On couples they look up to
Jada: For me, his parents. They have the most awesome relationship.On how they met
Jada: We met in high school. I’m a year older than him so in high school it wasn’t cool to be a senior dating a junior.On if social media hurts a relationship
Jada: It depends on the relationship.On Chris being pictured opening doors for Jada
Chris: I’m from the South so it’s yes ma’am, yes sir, all that stuff.
Random side note, I just love how CP3 says North Carolina. It reminds me of Mike in “The Wood.” Chris also discussed the importance of family and his wife in his professional career during a “Genius Talk” with Snoop Dogg and ESPN’s Jemele Hill at The BET Experience.
