Derrick Rose's wife Alaina Anderson
Yesterday at 11:15 AM
Derrick Rose was an electrifying human being on the basketball court. Rose, who the Chicago Bulls selected first overall in the 2008 NBA Draft, later found work with the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Memphis Grizzlies. Over his career, he built quite a resume as a three-time All-Star and onetime NBA MVP.
In 2024, Rose announced his retirement from pro basketball to give him more time to spend with his family, including his wife Alaina Anderson. So here’s a look into the life of Derrick Rose’s wife Alaina Anderson.

This will likely not surprise you. Alaina Anderson is an Instagram model. However, she’s more than just eye candy to people. She’s also a fitness influencer and an entrepreneur, according to Pedro Marrero of Amo Mama.
As of this writing, Anderson has over 392,000 followers on Instagram. A quick look at her IG would reveal countless photos of her, but you would also see her children with Derrick Rose in several other pictures.
As for Rose himself, there aren’t a lot of his images on Alaina Anderson's Instagram account, though we take it as just Rose being Rose. He’s not known as the type of guy who’d spend lots of time taking pictures of his getup like other NBA players.
Alaina was born on November 15, 1994. She’s six years younger than Rose and is also from the Windy City. While Rose attended Simeon Career Academy in high school, Alaina attended De La Salle High School. Rose attended the University of Memphis, while Alaina went to the University of Illinois.
So when did Derrick Rose and Alaina Anderson first meet? It’s hard to know the particular answer to that question, but it’s safe to say that the two initially met sometime during Rose’s playing days with the Chicago Bulls. That’s a pretty wide window of time as Rose played seven seasons for Chicago, though according to at least one source, the couple got introduced to each other in 2016.

They started dating, and it didn’t take long before they got the attention of TMZ because which celebrity doesn’t? In November 2016, TMZ published a selfie of Rose and Alaina in a bar.
Things started to get a little bit more serious between the two the following year as it was reported by TMZ — again — that the pair bought a Chocolate Goldendoodle puppy.
In 2018, Derrick Rose and Alaina Anderson finally decided to settle down, tying the knot in February. The wedding didn't seem to be a lavish one, though. Per Terez Owenz:
"According to our source, Derrick reportedly eloped with his longtime girlfriend Alaina, who is pregnant. Our insider explained, "Derrick and Alaina wanted to start their family as a married couple." We're told that the wedding was small and private."
During the same month of their wedding, Rose was sent to the Utah Jazz (not many still remember this piece of factoid) from the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Jazz would waive him shortly after, leaving Rose with a hazy future in the NBA. But at least Alaina Anderson is behind him all those times.
Months later, Derrick Rose’s wife celebrated her 24th birthday with a brand-new Bentley from her husband. Nice!
Rose and Anderson now have two children. Layla Malibu Rose was born in 2018, and a year later, London Marley Rose.
Alaina Anderson’s business venture
Aside from being a lovely wife to Rose and a great mother to their kids, Alaina runs a business of her own. As mentioned earlier. Alaina is a fitness enthusiast, and herKeep It Cutebrand is her channel to market fitness products and fashion items.
Being the wife of an NBA player sure had plenty of ups, but like ordinary couples, there will always be challenging times. Fortunately, finances won’t be a problem since Derrick Rose has a net worth of $90 million. Nevertheless, this is all we know about Derrick Rose’s wife Alaina Anderson.
