But the news also elicited people’s interest in Rose’s other personal details, including his kids. Fans are curious to know more about his children and who is their mother.

Who are Jalen Rose's kids?

As per reports, Rose is the father of three kids – two daughters and a son. The eldest one is Mariah Christian Rose, who was born in 2000. Her mother is reportedly Rose’s former partner Mauri Goens. The names of the other two children are Gracie Rose and LaDarius Rose. However, it’s not been disclosed who is/are their mother(s).

The firstborn of the sports analyst is said to be quite active on social media, where she regularly posts her pictures as well as with her mom and siblings. Gracie, just like her father, is in sports and is a volleyball player in the premier junior club, A5 Volleyball. She is already a championship winner. In 2017, Rose took to Twitter to share a photo with her and wrote: “Proud my daughter won her Championship today! #A5VB.” But there is no information about his son.

In the past, rumors swirled about Rose’s marriage. Some reports alleged that he was married to a woman named Alexandra Rose, who was also the mother to his kids. But in 2012, the 48-year-old himself cleared the air around it by tweeting: “Dear Google. WHO is the Alexandra Rose that is listed as my spouse? SMH!” Then four years later in 2016, reports started surfacing that Rose was dating Qerim and it turned out to be true. In a July 2016 tweet, he also referred to her as “Wifey” even though they married each other two years later. He had tweeted at the time, “Had a great time seeing @JoelOsteen w/ Wifey @MollyQerim. #Blessed.”

Rose and Qerim tied the knot in July 2018. They hosted a secret small wedding ceremony in New York before they went to the Turks and Caicos Islands for their honeymoon. Qerim’s last online post with her ex-husband was in February 2020 that attracted a lot of positive attention with one fan saying, “They make a good couple.” Another one commented, “You're the LUCKIEST guy on the planet.” “Power couple,” the third one added.
