James Harden and Pajie Speights went public about their relationship last June at Rajon Rondo’s wedding in Italy. Interestingly, Speights caught the bride’s bouquet, which got Harden reacting in disbelief.
Prior to the couple spending their New Year’s Eve together, Harden and the Clippers played their final game of 2024 against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. In the 122-86 loss, he finished with a team-high 17 points and three rebounds in 25 minutes of playing time. The Clippers will go back on the road on Thursday to face the current Western Conference leaders, the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In his 32 games thus far, Harden is averaging 21.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.5 steals in 33.9 minutes of playing time.
James Harden mostly kept his relationship with Pajie Speights private
Much like his past romantic exploits, James Harden has mostly kept his relationship with his girlfriend Pajie Speights unknown to the public even after revealing it last June. However, he shares some of their sweet moments together from time to time.
There was one instance when Harden shared pictures of his girlfriend accompanying him home in his Foxbody Ford Mustang GT convertible. He posted the pictures on his Instagram with the following caption:
“Took the long way home. #Uno”

“The Beard” rarely talks about his girlfriend in interviews, but she has been seen regularly cheering her beau during his home games. The couple can also sometimes be spotted attending various events.
Speights previously dated former NBA player Mario Chalmers, with whom she has a six-year-old son. A Detroit native, she is currently making a name for herself as a designer for her own Pajie Designs brand, blending high fashion with streetwear.
Meanwhile, Harden has also had relationships with various celebrities in the past, including Brittany Renner, Ashanti, Lesanik, Khloe Kardashian, Amber Rose, Malaysia Pargo, Kyra Chaos, Tahiry Jose, Trina, and Sarah Bellew.
