LA Clippers All-Star guard James Harden and girlfriend Paije Speights celebrated the new year together, which she was able to capture in a series of photos and share on social media.

The fashion designer and actress took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a carousel of photos of her and her NBA superstar boyfriend boarding a vehicle to go out and celebrate the dawn of 2025.

She captioned her post with a touching message for Harden and their growing relationship, writing:

"New year. Same us. ❤️🤞🏾✨"

James Harden and Speights made their relationship public last June at Rajon Rondo's wedding in Italy, where, interestingly Speights caught the bride's bouquet, which elicited a hilarious reaction of disbelief from the one-time NBA MVP.

Meanwhile, before he celebrated New Year's with his girlfriend, Harden played in the LA Clippers's game on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. He scored a team-high 17 points, to go along with three rebounds, in 25 minutes in their 122-86 loss. They return on Thursday against the Western Conference-leading OKC Thunder on the road.

James Harden has kept his relationship with Paije Speights generally private

Just like his previous relationships, James Harden has kept his love affair with Paije Speights generally private after making it known in June last year. Every now and then, however, he shares their moments together.

One instance came early in the ongoing NBA season, where she accompanied him home in his classic Foxbody Ford Mustang GT convertible. He shared snaps of it in his Instagram profile and captioned it with:

"Took the long way home #Uno"

James Harden rarely speaks about Speights in interviews, but she has been a constant supporter of his boyfriend, regularly cheering on 'The Beard' during his games at home in Los Angeles. Apart from the games, the two are also spotted attending various events.

Speights was previously in a relationship with former NBA player Mario Chalmers, with whom she has a six-year-old son. She hails from Detroit and is making a name for herself as a designer for her own brand, Front Paije Designs, which blends streetwear with high fashion.

She was also part of the 2021 HBO Max reality series "The Hype," where she finished third. Speights is also active on social media, boasting over 193,000 followers on Instagram.

Speights is 36 years old, a year older than Harden, who is now playing in his second season with the LA Clippers and currently averaging 21.9 points, 7.8 assists, 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 33 minutes per game.
