James Harden’s girlfriend, Paije Speights, has put months of speculation to rest after confirming her pregnancy with a playful tease on social media. Harden and Speights have been together since 2023, first going public with their relationship in 2024 at Rajon Rondo’s wedding in Italy.
On Monday, Speights posted a message on her Instagram story, encouraging fans to watch Netflix’s docuseries *Starting 5*. In episode three of the series, Harden and Speights made several personal revelations, including their pregnancy and Harden’s six-year-old son, Jace.
“Y’all want to see a baby bump so bad. Go watch the *Starting 5* on Netflix,” Speights wrote, playfully addressing the excitement from fans.
From having minimal information about Harden’s personal life, fans now know him as a soon-to-be father of two following his appearance on *Starting 5*. Speights and Harden’s conversations on the Netflix show gave fans rare insight into their relationship and personal lives, sparking a flood of congratulatory messages in the comment section of her Instagram post.
At 36 years old, Harden is preparing to tip off his 17th NBA season with the Los Angeles Clippers. Last season, he played 79 games, averaging 22.8 points, 8.7 assists, and 5.8 rebounds per game.
Heading into the twilight years of his career, the 2018 NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) is still chasing his first championship ring. Harden’s only trip to the NBA Finals was in 2012 with the Oklahoma City Thunder, playing alongside stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
