Who Is Detroit Pistons Player Tobias Harris’ Wife, Jasmine Winton?
NBA forward Tobias Harris currently plays for the Detroit Pistons for the second time in his career. Before signing with the team again in 2024, he spent six seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers. The athlete also played for the Milwaukee Bucks, the Orlando Magic, and the Los Angeles Clippers.
And one woman has been by his side with each change and that is Jasmine Winton. He’s more about Harris’ wife and the elaborate way he proposed to her.
How Harris and Winton met
Winton is a bit more private than some other wives of basketball stars. However, we do know that her birthday is on Sept. 26, she’s from Chicago, and has a Bachelor’s degree in advertising from Michigan State University. She was also a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
Winton and Harris met on a blind date during his first stint with the Detroit Pistons from 2016, and have been together ever since. The La Holla Light noted that when they were deciding on place to live in the offseason, Harris suggested Hawaii. Winton though wanted to stay on the mainland to be closer to their families, so she suggested San Diego.
“I’d never been to San Diego but I told her I’ll look at it,” Harris recalled. “I started doing a lot of research on San Diego online and came across La Jolla.”
The couple then visited the area and loved it.
“We fell in love with it, and we fell in love with the people,” Harris said. “There was a real sense of happiness and enjoyment of the sun, the beautiful weather, the location.”
Harris’ incredible proposal to Winton and when they got married
In November 2020, the NBA forward proposed to his longtime girlfriend.
After purchasing a vacant lot to build their 15,600-square-foot dream home he told Winton that they were going to the location for a photoshoot he booked with Architectural Digest. When they got there, Harris surprised Winton with rose petals laid out all over the ground and plenty of candles, which made a huge heart. He then got down on one knee and popped the question.
“Life exists only at this very moment and in this moment it is infinite and eternal. For the present moment is infinitely small; before we can measure it, it has gone, and yet it persists forever,” Harris captioned several photos of the setup and Winton’s reaction, adding, “SHE SAID ‘YES, YES!’”
On Aug. 6, 2022, the pair said “I do” at Oheka Castle in Huntington, New York.
Winton prefers to stay out of the spotlight
As previously mentioned, Winton is a private person. She doesn’t have an Instagram and her X account is not public. But she has shown up in some of Harris’ social media posts.
In addition, Harris has given her some love and shoutouts on appropriate occasions.
For her birthday one year he posted a heartfelt message via his Instagram that read: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! My rock, my queen, my best friend I love you! I cherish every moment with you, God has blessed me abundantly by putting such an amazing person as yourself in my life. I hope you enjoy this special day love.”
And another year Harris shared a sweet message to Winton on her special day writing: “You are Inspiring. You are resilient. You are Royal. You are love. Another 365 have come and gone, and I love you more now than I did yesterday. And I’ll love more tomorrow than I do today! Happy Birthday, Queen!!!”
