CJ McCollum and Elise Esposito
During his time as a guard at Lehigh University, CJ McCollum experienced two life-changing events. Firstly, his impressive performance secured him the 10th overall pick at the 2013 NBA draft, launching his career to the big league. Secondly, he met his fiancée Elise Esposito, who was studying a double major in Behavioral Neuroscience/Pre-medicine at the time. Since their initial meeting in 2013, the couple has been together, and McCollum proposed to Esposito in February 2019, making him the happiest man alive when she said yes.
Despite his achievements on the court, it is clear that McCollum’s greatest happiness comes from his relationship with Esposito. Their enduring love, which began at Lehigh University, has brought joy and stability to McCollum’s life, showing that success is not only measured in points scored but in the love and support of those closest to us.
