The NBA has seen its fair share of star-studded relationships. However, when a popular model was rumored to be dating Boston Celtics’ rising star, it sparked a flurry of reactions. The reason? A significant age difference of 17 years. Public figures often receive harsh judgments about their personal lives due to social media scrutiny. 

The model and entrepreneur, based out of New York, despite all the criticism, has a staggering fan following, with over 7 million followers on Instagram. She has shown that age is just a number, and it should never be an obstacle, in love or in beauty. 

The star-affair and the age gap controversy with Jaylen Brown & Bernice Burgos

Boston Celtics’ Jaylen Brown, who turned 26 last October, was rumored to be dating much older popular model Bernice Burgos who is 43 YO. They were spotted together in Boston and Atlanta in September 2022, which is when the public first became aware of Brown and Burgos’ relationship. Since then, they have been seen together on multiple occasions, including at the Boston Celtics home opener game against the Philadelphia 76ers. 

Burgos has been the target of criticism from some of Brown’s fans, who have commented on her age.
