Dub Nation forward Jonathan Kuminga doesn’t have a wife. The 22-year-old athlete has kept his private life out of the limelight, but Kuminga has given a few hints about his romantic life every now and then.
Born and raised in a war-torn Goma, DR Congo, until he was 13, Kuminga moved to the US in 2016 to play high school basketball. In three years, Kuminga played for three different high schools.
He opted out of college and joined the G League Ignite despite holding offers from Duke, Kentucky, Auburn, Florida State, and Texas Tech.
The Warriors drafted Kuminga as the seventh overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Since then, he has had an up-and-down career with the Steph Curry-led team.
Earlier this year, during the off-season, it was reported that the Warriors weren’t interested in offering Jonathan Kuminga a max extension. He is currently averaging 14.8 points, 1.8 assists, and 4.3 rebounds.
The youngster is doing his best to show the Warriors front office he deserves that contract. On November 5, against the Houston Rockets, Kuminga scored a career-best 33 points and made several tough shots at the end.
Kuminga shared several videos on his Instagram story from his best night. A special someone was also in the stands, rooting for him. So could that be the reason Kuminga went lights off?
Jonathan Kuminga Might Not Have A Wife, But He Has A Girlfriend In Yasmine Meerah
The young basketball talent, Kuminga, has tried to keep himself out of the media frenzy, unlike some of his present and former teammates.
Despite playing in the NBA for the past four seasons, Kuminga has never talked much about his personal life, with many fans considering him more of an introvert.
On his social media handle, mainly Instagram, the NBA player mostly shares photos from training or game day.
He hasn’t shared a single post that could allude to him being in a relationship.
But after sleuthing around a bit, we can say that Kuminga isn’t single and is probably seeing Instagram model Yasmine Meerah.
It also doesn’t look like they are a new couple. Jonathan’s comments on Yasmine’s Instagram page date back to June 2022.
On June 28, 2022, Yasmine shared a cute picture of her in a floral dress just outside at Wolfgang Puck, Hotel Bel-Air. Kuminga commented with two smiley face emojis.
Yasmine hadn’t shared a single Instagram post this year until September.
Kuminga was again seen in her comment section and also noted her absence from the social media platform.
Kuminga wrote, “She’s back [heart emjoji] [fingers crossed].” And it’s not as if the basketball star has been left hanging.
Meerah has replied to his comments with either heart or kissy face emojis.
On October 9, 2024, Yasmine shared a carousel of images, including pictures from a golf course, and during the off-season, Kuminga was seen playing golf.
Yasmine was at Chase Center repping the Warriors as Kuminga scored his career-high points against the Rockets.
What Does Jonathan Kuminga’s Girlfriend Yasmine Meerah Do?
It isn’t entirely certain what Yasmine’s current profession is. Many believe she is an Instagram model, but she hasn’t been seen endorsing any brands.
Like her boyfriend, Yasmine has tried to keep herself lowkey. She even took a hiatus from Instagram for over a year.
Yasmine is also quite active on TikTok and recently did a What’s in My Bag segment. The first thing she did show was her Chase Center game pass.

In the last few weeks, Yasmine has also posted videos on TikTok showing her ‘chill game day fit’. She has also done a few Spend the Day With Me videos.
So far, Kuminga has not been seen on Yasmine’s TikTok handle, but there’s a good chance they will keep it that way.
Even if the couple goes public with their relationship, they’ll probably do it on their Instagram handles.
