Family & Childhood
Jaden is the second child of Vivian and Jamie Newman (née Gonzalez), of Puerto Rican descent. Jaden has a three-year older brother named Julian, who has been named one of the most wanted basketball prodigies of his generation.
Both Jamie and Vivian were avid basketball players during their youth. However, they followed different career paths later in life when Vivian joined the United States Navy and Julian studied history and became a high school teacher.
Although Julian has already graduated from high school, Jaden is currently a first year at Downey Christian School, which she and her brother have attended since elementary school. Jaden is expected to enroll in 2023.
Career
First steps
Jaden Newman started her career very early in life, when she was still attending elementary school. At age eight, Jaden started playing in his school’s varsity division, an incredible achievement at his age.
In 2014 Jaden Newman has been contacted by Derrick Gibbs – assistant coach of the University of Miami basketball program – who informed her and her family of the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) interest in recruiting her as part of its prestigious but demanding Division I, based in Florida.
In addition to including a generous scholarship for Jaden, the University’s offer consisted of Jaden’s assistance with summer programs at their facilities, which were visited by Jaden shortly after receiving the recruitment letter: I thought I was in a dream or something, but it was real, and then we went to campus and we walked around and everything, and we saw the gym. It was fun’.
Delighted that Jaden will become one of the youngest athletes to be recruited by a college basketball program, his family welcomed the news. However, Jaden did not accept the program’s offer, as his dream is to attend the University of Connecticut and play on its basketball team, the UConn Huskies.
The interest in Jaden – who at the time was averaging 14.8 points per game – was due to his talent. His incredible abilities were showcased by the media in light of the fame of his own brother, who also caught the attention of the sports media at an early age.
Subsequent years
When it comes to basketball, Jaden’s teenage years were just as successful for her as her childhood. His father Jamie, – who is also his and his brother’s coach – focused on coaching his children and was responsible for helping them develop their inherent abilities.
Because of this, Jaden Newman’s basketball numbers have improved over time. In her senior year of elementary school, she averaged 30 points per game, and in eighth grade she scored 45 points. In preparation, she also became the youngest school basketball player to rack up 1,000 points in her career, a record set by her own brother shortly before her.
At 14, Jaden set another record by scoring 70 points in a game, showing his prowess on 3-point shooting.
Regarding this milestone in his still young career, Jaden said ESPN on feeling “in the zone” since the start of the match: “From the start, to start the match, I scored a 3. It was the first game of the match. It boosted my confidence.”
Projects for the future
In the 2019 interview with High pole hoops, Jaden Newman revealed that he received several recruitment offers from university programs. However, his dreams of playing in Connecticut are still alive and strong.
Besides that, Jaden wants to enjoy her time in high school as much as she can, despite the high expectations placed on her: “Every year the competition gets more and more competitive. It’s just fun for me. I love playing basketball in high school.
She also spoke about the media attention on her, which has put pressure on her over the years due to the fact that she is often recognized by fans in her day-to-day life: “Now most people know who I am, sometimes I wish no one knew”. who I was. But I like it most of the time.
Jaden and his brother are close with each other as the two siblings always show their brotherly love for each other through their social media accounts. However, when it comes to the basketball court, their competitive side always comes into play, and it’s not clear who is the best player among them: “he wins some, I win some”. I would say (it is) even”.
Media appearances
Jaden Newman’s talent for playing basketball has not only caught the attention of sports fans, but also the media, and she has appeared on television several times.
When she was only nine years old, she made a brief appearance on “The Queen Latifah Show”, where she dominated the host Queen Latifah and surprised the audience of the program with her exceptional talent.
Then in 2015, she recorded a TV commercial for Foot Locker, starring State Warriors’ Stephen Curry. In the video commercial, she easily defeats the professional basketball player in a 3-point shooting competition.
Other types of media such as newspapers and online channels have also set their sights on Jaden. In 2016, she was featured by the YouTube channel Peacock Kids — in the video shared by the online outlet, Jaden showed off his workout routine: “I was training about 5-6 hours a day. I would wake up at 5:30 a.m. and practice dribbling and shooting,’ she continued, saying she’s had this routine every day for years.
In 2019, Jaden and his brother Julian appeared in the online series “No Days Off”, produced by Whistle. Also that year, Jaden and his family began appearing in their own television series “Hello Newmans”, produced by Overtime.

Interesting facts
Apparently his parents control his social media accounts – his mother Vivian is his manager.
Although her basketball scoring average is impressive, she wants people to focus on other aspects of her game, like defending and passing.
His family has a clothing brand Prodigy, which has helped them afford a comfortable lifestyle and serves as retribution for the money the media allegedly took from the family, as Jamie Newman said. Launderer’s report: ‘If we had 10 cents for every dollar that people made on Julian and Jaden, we would be rich’.
Unfortunately, Jaden receives many malicious messages and requests on his Instagram account: “I like having a lot of followers, but the downside is guys saying weird or rude stuff.” I mostly try to ignore it.
