Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler is known to be an outspoken individual. However, when it comes to his personal life and family, Butler has been relatively quiet about matters. This holds true in the case of his daughter Rylee as well.
Rylee was born on October 23, 2019, to Butler and his girlfriend, Kaitlin Nowak. Butler and Nowak have chosen to keep their relationship private, and not much information is available about their romantic and family life.
Butler prioritized being there for his daughter's birth and missed the Miami Heat's season-opener in 2019, as well as three more games. The team was supportive of his decision. While Butler keeps Rylee out of the media limelight, he has spoken about her in the past.

Jimmy Butler struggled in Game 1 of the 2023 NBA Finals
Jimmy Butler has been one of the best players in this season's playoffs. While putting up some ridiculous performances, the Heat superstar has singlehandedly managed to will his teams to a win in several games.
However, after what appeared to be a superhuman run in the East, Butler finally seems to have hit a wall.
Jimmy Butler struggled in Game 1 against the Denver Nuggets. He scored 13 points, recorded seven rebounds and seven assists, and shot 6-14 from the field in 38 minutes of playing time. Butler's performance in recent games has been less consistent, raising concerns for Miami, especially as their role players have yet to adapt to the conditions in Denver.
Despite the Game 1 loss, the Miami Heat are known for their resilience and ability to bounce back. They will continue to pose a threat to Denver's title aspirations in the remaining games of the series.
