Lauren Holiday close-knit family of four resettled to Milwaukee from New Orleans in November 2020.
His husband, Jrue Holiday, joined the Milwaukee Bucks from the New Orleans Pelicans just a few weeks after the birth of their second child, a boy named Hendrix. They now reside in a house with a basement in Milwaukee.
Her daughter Jrue Tyler (J.T.), has always expressed a desire to reside in a home with a basement; hence, while the family was looking for a new home, they eliminated all of the houses that did not have basements from their search.
The 35-year-old mother of two posted a picture of her family from their new home in Milwaukee on Thanksgiving day in 2020. “From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!”
The family also founded and now oversees “Jrue and Lauren Holiday Social Impact Fund,” a social fund established with the purpose of helping small aid businesses of the minors unduly impaired by the Covid pandemic.
