According to a 2015 interview with ESPN, Jrue met Lauren at a UCLA women's basketball game when a young fan requested his autograph, thinking he was his teammate Darren Collison. According to Jrue, Lauren turned to face him as soon as he sat down and said, "Don't worry, you're cuter than Darren is.”

In an interview Jrue said,
