Utah Jazz: Jeff Withey Engaged to Playboy Playmate Girlfriend
A lot can change in a month. Utah Jazz center Jeff Withey and his Playboy playmate girlfriend have (quite publicly) been through thick and thin. The couple decided to take their relationship to the next level earlier this week.
Since the offseason began, things have really turned around for Utah Jazz big man Jeff Withey and his girlfriend (and 2014 Playboy playmate of the year) Kennedy Summers.
Wait. I mean his fiance (and 2014 Playboy playmate of the year) Kennedy Summers.
Yup. That’s right. Withey proposed to Summers this weekend, just one month after fans and followers were exposed to the fact that there may be trouble in paradise for the couple.
In June, Summers hijacked Withey’s social media accounts to voice her suspicions that Jeff was cheating on her.
Summers, posing as Withey, shared a picture on Instagram of herself half-naked alongside a picture of a receipt for two tickets to see the latest X-Men movie. The caption read: “I cheated on this girl. I told my girlfriend I was going to the movies alone last night and then she found this receipt. I also shouldn’t have given her my Instagram password like a dumbass.”
Harsh. The photo was also cross-posted to Withey’s Facebook account. Summers then vented about the alleged infidelity on her personal Twitter account. All posts have since been deleted.

Withey, however, responded on Facebook within a couple of hours of the initial post, saying the whole thing was a simple misunderstanding.
“Unfortunately, a private matter was made public,” Withey explained. “I am not a cheater, nor would I ever cheat. Went to the movies by myself and picked up the tickets of the person in front of me. Not even my credit card number on the stub.” He also thanked his friends, family and followers for never questioning his character and standing by him through the accusations.
His explanation, though rather ambiguous, apparently made enough sense to Summers, and all seems to be forgiven. The couple (unsurprisingly) took to social media to announce their engagement on Monday afternoon.

It seems that Withley, who averaged just 3.5 points and 2.7 boards throughout his three NBA seasons, has more game than anyone gives him credit for.
