The wedding is set to take place on July 12, 2026, in a private but elegant ceremony in Charlotte, North Carolina. The guest list? A star-studded reunion of UNC basketball greats and current teammates, all coming together to celebrate one of their own in what promises to be an emotional and joyous affair.
“Deja has been my rock through everything,” RJ said in a candid interview following the announcement. “From my college career to parenthood to life beyond the court, she’s been there every step of the way. I’m beyond blessed to call her my future wife.”
