“He’s here for a reason, to help try to get us to the next level,” said Stephen Curry after Buckets’ Warriors career kicked into reality. He got the move he wanted. And did he deliver? A big, fat, yes. The Chef added Miami spice to the squad, and he knew it. If you look back, it seems like Jimmy Butler’s blockbuster career has just started again. But looking forward, the paparazzi have something to click about that has nothing to do with pro ball. As it turns out, there’s a newfound uptick in his personal life’s ECG that needs addressing.
You can’t hide anything about your social life anymore. Or maybe Butler didn’t intend to. A Dub Nation citizen took to Facebook to share a picture of Jimmy with Britney Jing. You know – the high-stakes poker player who has $193K+ in on-stream profits and typical streamer ad/subscription revenue? When they took a trip down to Texas State, it would’ve been normal to take a picture for memory’s sake, right? It’s a shame that ended in that post going viral enough to warrant dating rumors.
Butler’s recent dating history has only had one legitimate look-in. And that was with Kaitlin Nowak, which reportedly ended in 2023; though neither party has publicly addressed their current status. There’s few that know what she’s doing right now. As we know it, there’s nothing there.
On the other hand, it’s virtually impossible to find much of the Chinese native online. The only bits and pieces that you can tape together are of her being a wild animal trainer back in China. It seems a little random, but it is what it is.
Might be a bit too far to consider this as accurate proof as to if they’re dating. But the internet’s deserted on this. For now, there’s no conclusive evidence of Jimmy Butler and Britney Jing are dating. There’s no tagged photos, mutual follows, or interactions between Butler and Jing on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook to corroborate the rumors.
Jimmy Butler-Stephen Curry-Draymond Green are forward thinking
Can we put his personal life to rest now? Jimmy Butler’s one of those big money players staying loyal to his current org. But why? They only reached the semis with Hall of Fame pedigree across the board. As it turns out, the same HOF’ers are the ones most excited for the future.
Butler appeared in 30 of 31 potential games for Golden State, averaging 17.9 points (47.6% from field, 27.9% from downtown), 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.7 steals. The 35-year-old, 14th-year wing, a power playmaker and tough help defender, missed the majority of the postseason due to a pelvic and deep gluteal contusion suffered in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets. But there’s still no slowing down from the Butler to the chef.
“This time last year I was probably concerned about our ability to have, like, a No. 2 guy,” GM Mike Dunleavy at his annual end-of-season press. “We went out this year, we got that, and now I feel better going into next season having a guy like Jimmy on our roster. We’ll build around that with him, Steph, Draymond, some of the other players we have.” And the encore march for Warriors‘ elusive 5th ring goes on again.

Jimmy Butler’s private life is just that—private. And in all fairness, his connection with Britney Jing might just be a friendship off the court. But when it comes to his professional life, nothing’s changing. That fire, the same one he’s carried since his early days in Chicago, still burns just as fiercely.
