After the heartbreak of another postseason exit, Julius Randle is finally getting a breather, and he’s using it just the way you’d hope. With the Minnesota Timberwolves eliminated from the Western Conference Finals, Randle returned home to something far more grounding than basketball: family.
A short video posted by his wife, Kendra Randle, captured a peaceful moment between father and daughter, and honestly, it might be his sweetest highlight all year. Sometimes, the biggest wins happen far from the court.
Julius Randle Shares Wholesome Father-Daughter Moment After Grueling Playoff Exit
Minnesota’s postseason dream ended with a thud – another Western Conference Finals exit in just five games. Randle, who gave his all with 21.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game during the playoffs, now finds solace not in the gym but in a rocking chair.
In a quiet, heartwarming Instagram story, Kendra shared a video of her husband gently rocking their newborn daughter, Romi. Cradled peacefully in his lap, Romi looked calm and content, maybe even comforted by the rhythm of her dad’s steady presence.
Kendra didn’t say much. She didn’t need to. Just two simple words accompanied the clip: “Daddy’s girl.”
She followed that up with two sweet photos of baby Romi lying in a cradle, posing as if she already knew she was being admired.
Kendra Randle has always been more than just Julius’s wife. She’s been his anchor through every high and low, every win and loss. During Minnesota’s tough playoff exit, she reminded everyone just how deep that support runs. In another Instagram post, she wrote five words that quietly captured her pride: “I’m so proud of you🩶.”
The two met during their college days in Kentucky and have been inseparable ever since. From their engagement in Greece to raising three children – Kyden, Jaycey, and Romi – they’ve built a life rooted in loyalty and love.
Kendra is a powerhouse in her own right, with over 62,000 followers on Instagram and a successful fashion brand, KALORE, under her belt. But even amid the spotlight, she’s been open about her personal struggles, most recently with postpartum depression after Romi’s birth. She called it an “emotional rollercoaster,” but celebrated her strength in carrying and delivering three beautiful children. That kind of honesty resonates far beyond the court.

Romi, born in April, is the newest member of the Randle crew, and she already has her dad wrapped around her tiny fingers. In Julius’ own words: “You got daddy’s heart. Two big brothers that will always protect you. And the perfect example in mommy to look up to.”
