Tyrese Haliburton's Fiancée Jade Jones' Friend Dies Tragically During Bachelorette Party

Tragedy struck a bachelorette party hosted by Tyrese Haliburton's fiancée, Jade Jones, in St. Barts earlier this month when one of her friends died suddenly.

Sources close to the situation reveal that 26-year-old Makenzi Kern passed away due to health complications, with the family ruling out foul play, drugs, or alcohol as contributing factors.

The family is reportedly devastated by the loss of their loved one.

Praising Kern's zest for life, an obituary describes her as a 'silly and goofy soul' who could brighten everyone's spirits with her presence.

Further details surrounding Kern's death remain unclear at this time.

Kern and Jones were teammates on the Iowa State cheerleading squad and remained close friends over the years.

Iowa State is where Jones met Haliburton, a former star basketball player who joined the NBA in 2020.

Kern passed away on June 8, approximately around the time the group was set to return to the United States and two days after her birthday.

Before Kern's death, Jones shared photos from the trip, captioning it 'hopped on a flight to cloud 9.'

Kern was featured in several group shots, showcasing the group's joy and camaraderie as they prepared for Jones' wedding day.

Jones, Haliburton, and the rest of the bridal party have yet to comment on the loss.
