A peculiar story
Jalen and his ex-wife Molly Qerim dissolved their three-year marriage last year and chose not to reveal the reason.
However, the ex-divorce couple was suddenly marred by problems, highlighted by the unusual story that Rose’s co-ESPN analyst
Stephen A. Smith was having an intimate relationship with Molly.
Rose added that over time, anytime he said something salacious about a team or a player, people would bring up the rumor and clap back at him,
saying, “That’s why Molly left him!” or Why is Stephen A. kicking it with you ex-wife?”
Rose confessed that seeing “people guessing” and “specifically stating it was because Molly and Stephen A. Smith were in a relationship”
bothered him for perhaps “a month” or so. But he was unconcerned since he knew none of it was true.
The rumor was “trending,” Rose said GQ. “It was trending, he was trending, she was trending, and I was trending.”
“It was the real deal. And am I going to reply to that? It presented me with a real fork in the road.
But I didn’t because I was certain it wasn’t real.”
“But, when it happened, I had two options as a professional: I work with him, I love him, and he’s my brother,” he explained.

I have admiration for both of them. We’re still 100 percent.”
