Family First: Trae Young’s Off-Court Priorities
Since welcoming his first son Tydus on June 2, 2022, with his wife Shelby Miller, Young’s life has seemingly transformed. The couple, who tied the knot in June 2023, have been a pillar of strength for each other since their days dating back to 2017. With the recent addition of their second child, Teal, last year, the Young family is fast becoming a fan-favorite.
Celebrating his son’s preschool debut, Young captioned the moment with,
“1st day of preschool vibes,”
encapsulating the light-hearted and proud atmosphere of the day. This post alone attracted over 154,000 likes, showcasing the wide-reaching support for the Young family’s personal milestones.
The Transformative Effect of Fatherhood on Young
Trae Young has openly discussed how fatherhood has reshaped his outlook on life and his career. In an intimate revelation to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, he reflected on how becoming a father has altered his priorities and softened his self-criticism after tough games.
“I mean, [fatherhood] put things into a different perspective for me. Obviously, growing up, basketball is my all day, every day. … When I lose, I’m so hard on myself. … But as a dad, certain things matter more, and that ain’t going to change from what my job is and how important that is to me,”
Young shared. He further emphasized,
“But my son is the most important thing to me right now. I got another one on the way. They are the most important things to me, for sure.”
These profound changes have not only marked a new chapter in his personal life but have also mirrored his impressive career trajectory. During what he described as one of his finest NBA seasons, Young averaged 28.4 points per game with a shooting accuracy of 46.0%.
