  Gilgeous-Alexander and his longtime girlfriend, Hailey Summers, married in February 2024. They welcomed their first child in April 2024.
  
  Gilgeous-Alexander's younger brother, Thomasi, was a college basketball player for the Evansville Purple Aces, and Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. His cousin, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, is an NBA player for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The two have a close relationship and shared a room at high school coach Zach Ferrell's house.
  
  In July 2020, Gilgeous-Alexander signed an endorsement deal with Converse.
  
  In spring 2023, Gilgeous-Alexander purchased a lakefront property in Burlington, Ontario that was previously occupied by bankrupt cryptocurrency trader Aiden Pleterski. Within days of moving in, Gilgeous-Alexander moved out due to security concerns, and shortly thereafter filed a lawsuit seeking to reverse the purchase. He alleges that the seller, a real estate investor who had leased the property to Pleterski, disclosed neither the property's link to the trader, nor various threats that have been made against the property by Pleterski's investors. Gilgeous-Alexander won his lawsuit and was able to undo the purchase of the home, and the appeal by the real estate investor was denied.
