"Marcus Smart Maintains a Low-Profile Personal Life Despite His High-Profile NBA Career"
The Memphis Grizzlies player proposed to Maisa Hallum in December of 2022. With the exception of his engagement announcement, Smart keeps his personal life, including his relationship with Hallum, off social media and focuses exclusively on his basketball and charitable efforts.
Hallum’s appearances at Smart’s basketball games may be discreet, but he has nonetheless been spotted there. During the 2020 playoff run of the Boston Celtics, when NBA players spent the balance of the season in the “bubble” owing to the CоVID-19 epidemic, she even sent him a romantic video greeting.
“Marcus is honestly like the ultimate competitor,” she added in the clip. As one teammate put it, “He just makes you wanna play hard because he gives it his all every second of every game, and he always says, ‘I’m going play like it’s my last game.’ People, in my opinion, are energized by his level of competition, and it makes you want to up your own game to match it permanently.
Smart beamed after watching the video and declared it “awesome.”
The couple has always had each other’s backs and is very supportive of each other’s charity initiatives.

Her home state is California.
According to an April 2020 interview with Blueprint Concepts’ “Wоmen Making Waves” series, Hallum grew raised in California with her sister.
“Being born and raised in California, we always grew up around the beach and we found ourselves in swimwear more than streetwear,” Hallum said, explaining the impetus for her and her sister’s swimsuit firm.
A swimwear firm, which she co-founded,
Hallum is very dedicated to Sousa Swim, the company she and her sister started.
She stated, “I think the most important thing is being able to create pieces that make wоmen feel confident in their skin,” during her interview with Blueprint Concepts.
Hallum elaborated that, after finishing college, she started the company and devoted herself to creating designs for the label.
She explained that “keeping it really simple and clean, you can’t go wrong with that” was the driving force for the first season’s designs. Whether we’re in the city or on vacation, we find new ideas in the world around us.
Although Sousa Swim has an Instagram account, it has yet to be updated.
In October of 2017, she attended a gala with Smart.

Hallum and Smart were snapped together at the Boston Celtics’ Shamrock Foundation Tip-Off Gala in October 2017. The Westin Waterfront Hotel in Boston was the site of the gathering.
Hallum was photographed at the ceremony beside the NBA player and the photos were shared on the Celtics’ Facebook page.
On Christmas Day, he made his proposal.
On Christmas Day in 2022, five years later, Smart popped the question to Hallum. For the proposal, he hired Will Smith, one of Hallum’s favorite actors.
Hallum appeared perplexed as she heard a video message from Smith, who wished her a Merry Christmas from Antarctica, in the video of his proposal that Smart released on Instagram.
“I know that you may not have gotten the stuff that you wаnted,” he continued. You will not leave Christmas day without something good, I assure you of that.
Hallum turned around at that point and was taken aback to see Smart on one knee with the proposal. With a resounding “Y E S’! (Phew!)” The post was captioned cleverly. As @willsmith put it, “Thanks for the setup help!”
After proposing to Hallum, the former Boston Celtics player explained that he wаnted to include Smith because he is Hallum’s favorite actor.
According to Smart’s words to the press, “it was cool, Will didn’t have to do that,” and he is “really appreciative” of the time Will took out of his busy schedule. One of her favorite actors is Will Smith.
Hallum and her family are big Smart fans, and she’s often spotted cheering from the stands at his games.
Hallum doesn’t have Instagram, but her sister Naseme frequently shares photos of the family showing their support for Smart at various events.
With the comment, “More lifeee my brother,” Naseme appeared to celebrate Smart’s birthday with him in March of 2022.
Together, they engage in acts of charity.
Hallum has backed Smart’s humanitarian efforts, and Smart’s YounGameChangers organization continues to do good. Both went to “An Evening with Marcus Smart,” a YounGameChangers event in December 2017.
The following year, Hallum was captured on camera with the Celtics Wоmen’s Group handing out candy to kids at the Boston Children’s Hospital on Halloween.
