Myles Turner is one of the trusted servants of the Indiana Pacers attack. Picked as the 11th overall during the 2015 NBA Draft, he’s been the starting Center ever since. After clinching playoff success for the first time in ten years, Turner’s loyalty to Indiana is gaining quite the attention, and so is a lesser-known part of his life, his better half Aysia Janelle. While they’ve expressed their love publicly for each other in the past, what do we know about her?
Aysia Janelle is no public figure, so not much is readily available out there about her life. While nobody really knows when they started dating, it’s their social media activity that revealed their bond in the first place. Reportedly, the duo hit the headlines for the first time when Turner commented on Janelle’s Instagram post in March 2023. Despite being the NBA pro’s girlfriend for at least a year now, she still has only 5,000-odd followers!
Apart from her public account, there isn’t much available about her online. Her account currently has just 16 posts and only a handful of pictures are with Turner. On July 9, 2023, Aysia posted a heartwarming carousel of pictures of the two of them. The gallery portrayed their unbreakable bond as they gave the internet a glimpse of their inside world from wearing matching outfits to popping a bottle of champagne. “Tie that binds”, she wrote in the caption.
The most recent time she posted about them on social media was a day after Valentine’s Day in 2024. This time it was a short clip of a few special moments with the caption, “Love you, endlessly”. However, the couple has never really sat down and done a sort of Q&A with the fanbase.
Apart from all the social media activity, it is quite a private life, isn’t it? While they kept their relationship private for a long time, it caught the public attention on a wide scale recently, thanks to Myles Turner’s nerdiness.
The Pacers star has earlier expressed his love of Star Wars, Harry Porter, and Lego. During the Pacers’ Star Wars night, the star turned up in a Han Solo outfit, famously portrayed by Harrison Ford. While he had the spotlight on him for a brief moment, it was immediately stolen by his girlfriend.
Aysia Janelle also accompanied him for the night donning Hans Solo’s love interest, Princess Leia’s outfit. The picture of the couple walking in the arena’s corridor went viral on social media after Turner uploaded it.
Myles has kept his off-court life as private as possible and there isn’t any clarity on his past relationships before Aysia. But as usual, the internet never rests, and here’s everything we could dig out for you.
Myles Turner’s past relationships
PlayersWives.com suggests that the star had a long-standing relationship with Franchesca, an international personality from Puerto Rico. However, there aren’t any further developments in the relationship. The timeline of their relationship is also unclear as it could be anywhere between his 9 season-long career, maybe even during his college days.
On the other hand, Myles Turner had also once attempted to get a date via TikTok in 2022. The Center and Dipika Dutt, an influencer, have exchanged messages via the app and he asked in the comments, “Come to dinner?” While it was around the trade deadline, Dutt replied, “Dinner when you’re on Lakers.” The exchanges went on for a while until Turner used the help of his teammate, Malcolm Brogdon.
The teammate tried negotiating with the influencer and settled to achieve 20k likes to get a date with her, as per NY Post. Nevertheless, rolling back to the sporting side, he remained a Pacers player for the next two years and now has an opportunity to win a ring alongside Tyrese Haliburton, as they’ve risen strong in the 2024 playoffs.
