Julius Randle and his wife Kendra went to the city of Minneapolis for a date night at the WNBA Finals.
Julius, 29, and Kendra, 26, sat courtside at the Target Center to cheer on the Minnesota Lynx on Friday, Oct. 18, as the Minnesota women’s basketball team took on the New York Liberty.
The couple — college sweethearts who married in 2017 — brought their son Kyden, 7, with them to Game 4. Kendra and Julius also have a son, Jaycey, who was born on October 16, 2021.
Julius and Kyden wore brown sweatpants and Kendra looked cute and cozy in a navy blue hoodie for the family night out in Minneapolis.
Kendra opted to skip her husband’s appearance on the jumbotron when cameras rolled during the game, but Kyden was all smiles waving to fans with his dad.

Kendra and Julius met at her 20th birthday party in 2017 while they were both studying at the University of Kentucky. Julius, a three-time NBA All-Star, played basketball in college, while Kendra studied fashion design and merchandising.

“He wished me a happy birthday and thanked me for having him,” Kendra later recalled Wedding Style magazine.
The mother-of-two said she didn’t speak much to her now-husband the night they met, but immediately noticed a spark. “I’ve never dated a basketball player,” she said, “but he was honest and sweet and I knew it was going to be okay.”
In 2019, Julius said for New York Post“My wife was the perfect person for me. I saw no point in waiting. She was the person I knew I wanted to be with — young or not. It didn’t matter what part of my life I met her — I knew I wanted to marry her.”
The Lynx defeated the Liberty 82-80 on Friday night to even the series at two games apiece.
