Austin Reaves, also known as "Hillbilly Kobe", is an NBA professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Reaves has been an invaluable member of their purple and gold this season and is expected to continue his stellar performance during 2023-24 campaign. However, Reaves' commitment is not solely focused on his professional goals; he's committed his life partner Jenna Barber as well.
At Cedar Ridge High School in Newark, Arkansas, they first met and soon after graduated high school, experienced long-distance dating as Reaves attended Wichita State and Oklahoma for college while Jenna remained in Batesville to study Arkansas Community College there. Once done with schooling she found work at a pharmaceutical company while supporting Austin's NBA career by attending his games.
And don't be surprised to see her at LA Lakers home games with him cheering them on alongside their other loved ones - their combined family unit can often be seen supporting the Lakers together! She stands five feet seven inches, giving the impression that she towers over him! They both cherish family life, sharing many activities together such as cheering for them together during home games of Los Angeles Lakers basketball team.
Over the summer, speculation swirled that Reaves was dating singer/songwriter Taylor Swift; however, LA Lakers guard quickly disproved such reports, stating he hadn't spoken with Swift even once!
