From International Courts To PBA Stardom
Rhon Jhay “RJ” Abarrientos has been on a meteoric rise since launching his professional career in 2022.
After stints with Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus in the Korean Basketball League and Shinshi Brave Warriors in Japan’s B. League, Abarrientos has found his home with Barangay Ginebra San Miguel.
The team snagged Abarrientos in the 2024 PBA Rookie Draft, locking him down with a three-year rookie contract.
It’s a move that’s already paying dividends, as evidenced by his stellar showing in the recent match against Meralco.

While Abarrientos dominates on the hardwood, his girlfriend, Arlove De Jesus, is making her own mark in the sports world.
A multitalented media personality, De Jesus juggles roles as a host, creator, and courtside reporter for NCAA Philippines.
But there’s more to this power couple than meets the eye. De Jesus crowned Miss Polo Philippines 2019, is also an entrepreneur, running her own businesses “Tape. Sis” and “Techy_PH.”

After the final buzzer, cameras caught the tender moment as De Jesus congratulated Abarrientos on his game-winning performance.
It was a glimpse into the strong bond that fuels both their personal and professional lives.
