Mikal Bridges is in the midst of the best season of his NBA career. The Phoenix Suns forward is averaging 16.1 points per game, 4.8 rebounds per game, and 3.0 assists per game, all career-highs, while adding 1.2 steals per game and 0.8 blocks per game. The fifth-year player is shooting 46.9% from the field, 39.7% from three-point range, and 88.3% from the free-throw line.
Bridges is in the first year of a four-year, $90 million contract extension that he signed prior to the 2021-2022 NBA season. Off the court, he is dating Grainger Rosati.
It is unclear when Bridges and Rosati began dating, however, it is safe to assume that they met in college. Grainer attended Villanova University as Bridges did, however, she is originally from New Jersey, while he is from Pennsylvania. She attended the 2018 NBA Draft with Bridges, so it is likely that they have been together for several years. Rosati's freshman year of college, 2016-2017, was Bridges' second of three years at the school.
Rosati graduated from Villanova University in 2019-2020 after spending four years on the women's lacrosse team. She received her Bachelor's degree in business administration. According to her LinkedIn profile, Rosati works as the Elite Senior District Manager of CPA Relationships at ADP, a human resources company.
While her social media doesn't contain pictures of Bridges, she is reportedly often seen courtside at Phoenix Suns games so it is safe to assume that the couple are still together.
