Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso and his wife, Haleigh Broucher, revealed their marriage in an Instagram story posted on Sunday. The wedding occurred Saturday night in Texas, according to social media posts.

Caruso’s teammates from the 2024-25 Thunder championship squad were in attendance at the wedding, including Chet Holmgren, Cason Wallace, Jaylin Williams, Lu Dort, Branden Carlson, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Isaiah Joe.

Broucher and Caruso reportedly met as students at Texas A&M University and publicly confirmed their relationship in 2022 before announcing their engagement in an Instagram post in August 2024.


Haleigh celebrated her bachelorette party in Mexico, which she revealed on social media. Caruso’s then-fiancée had a gourmet dinner and yacht party in Cabo San Lucas.

Caruso went undrafted out of Texas A&M in 2016, started his pro career as a member of the Thunder’s training camp, and played for the franchise’s G League affiliate, the OKC Blue, in 2016-17.

After four seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, including being part of the 2020 NBA championship team, Caruso joined the Chicago Bulls for three seasons and averaged a career-high 10.1 points per game in 2023-24.

Caruso finished his first season with the Thunder in 2024-25 after he was acquired by the team in a June 2024 trade with the Bulls. The 31-year-old was a key contributor for OKC in the 2025 NBA Finals, averaging 10.1 points per game.

In December 2024, Caruso signed a four-year, $81 million contract extension through the 2028-29 season, his agent Greg Lawrence of Wasserman told ESPN’s Shams Charania.
