Social media is a wild place for rumors, and when it comes to sports, it even gets crazier.
Recently, a post on X went viral linking Miami Heat’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. with team HC Eric Spoelstra’s ex-wife, Nikki. According to a social media detective page, Jaquez Jr. has been sleeping with Coach Spo’s former partner.
The account shared a screen-recorded video of Nikki liking all of Jaime’s recent Instagram posts. Along with the video, the post has a long note from an unverified source grounding how everything points to the two being in a give-and-take relationship.

The rumor paints a narrative suggesting a relationship, which Nikki has vigorously denied as untrue. She has called it a “fabricated nonsense” and emphasized that it is “100% flat out not true.”
In a statement addressing the rumors, Nikki expressed frustration at being subjected to such unfounded speculation.
“Y’all streets give me way too much power when sh*t doesn’t go your way in pro sports. It’s one thing for you sports fanatics to come onto my page after I made a really big life choice and talk crazy. And it’s another thing entirely for you to come to my page and harass me and call me crazy names over something. A rumor. A f**king story that is 100% flat out not true,” Nikki said in the video.
However, Nikki has also pointed out that her public figure status does not warrant harassment or name-calling on social media. Following her divorce from Erik Spoelstra in November 2023 after seven years of marriage, Nikki has aimed to prioritize co-parenting their three children.
Her linkup rumor with Jaquez Jr. comes at a very wrong time, as she’s taking care of her young children, all under the age of seven.
