Talk about a definitive romance.
As the Gonzaga Bulldogs begin their journey in March Madness 2021 on Saturday night against Norfolk State, expect striker Corey Kispert to receive support from girlfriend Jenn Wirth, striker for Gonzaga’s women’s basketball team.
“Anything from giving anyone a bucket to making me feel like the luckiest man in the world … I am convinced that she can do anything,” said Kispert, 22, in January 2019.
Together for nearly three years, Kispert regularly shares photos of the couple on social media, including a cozy black and white photo from April 2018.
“Time well spent”, posted the 1.80 meter athlete on Instagram at the time.
Kispert is one of the stars of Gonzaga’s undefeated team (26-0) this year, which includes the outstanding squad of freshman guard Jalen Suggs and pivot Drew Timme.
Kispert averaged 19.2 points this season with 4.9 rebounds, according to ESPN. He must be a top team in this year’s NBA Draft.
“Love and basketball – this has been our life for the past year and I would not have it any other way,” Wirth, 22, spoke about his relationship with Kispert in an Instagram post of March 2019.
“Thank you for making it so easy and thank God for my best friend <3 I love you (now go and kill him for the rest of the season)," she continued.
When they’re not having trouble on the court, Kispert and Wirth are enjoying outdoor adventures together, including skateboarding.
Wirth and Gonzaga’s women’s basketball team will face Belmont Bruins on Monday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Earlier this month, Wirth was named WCC Co-Player of the Year (West Coast Conference), along with BYU’s Shaylee Gonzales.
Kispert and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are considered one of the best teams this year, in addition to Michigan and Baylor. The team advanced to the national championship game in 2017, where they fell to North Carolina Tar Heels.
