It’s one of the weddings of the year and the lucky few who had the privilege of attending must still have stars in their eyes! A few weeks ago, Joakim Noah and his bride Lais Ribeiro held a multi-day wedding ceremony in a heavenly location in Brazil. A wonderful moment for the former basketball star who was able to invite his whole family, starting with his father Yannick, for this week of festivities during which everyone had a good time.
A beautiful love story that began almost four years ago between Joakim and Lais, who formalized their relationship in the fall of 2018. A very popular couple at the time since the 37-year-old sportsman is a real star of the NBA and his lover one of the most famous models in the world, parading for the most prestigious brands, starting with Victoria’s Secret. But before this beautiful romance, the 31-year-old Brazilian had other important stories in her life. Became a mother at only 18 years old of a little boy with autism, she has long dated another well-known basketball player.
Lais in love with a basketball player almost as tall as Joakim
Indeed, from 2014, Lais Ribeiro was in a relationship with Jared Hoffman, an American basketball player who has spent most of his career between Europe and the Middle East. Also very tall (he measures 2.08 m!), the handsome boy who is now 39 years old has been in a relationship for at least three years with the sublime Brazilian. Together, they attended many social events all over the planet (photos to be found in the slideshow). In May 2017, they were notably seen together on a beach in Miami, but their story did not last since about a year later, she formalized her relationship with Joakim Noah.
Now married and happy with Joakim Noah, Lais Ribeiro seems to have a real penchant for former athletes and especially tall basketball players. A chance for the son of Yannick Noah!
