The young talent went to Roman Catholic for his sophomore year but later transferred to Montverde Academy to complete his high school.
As of 2021, Duren is just 17 years old but he very well utilizes his body height of 6ft 10 inches and 104 kg weight to dominate any opponent he faces.
Jalen currently lives in New Castle, the USA where he was born and his mother's name is Aneisea Hudgins. Aneisea used to work at a non-profit organization in Philadelphia which may be the sole reason for Jalen to attend Roman Catholic High School in Philadelphia in his sophomore year.
Jalen has never talked about who his father is and what he does. Once in an interview, he said he has a couple of siblings on both mom and dad's side. But all other information about his family is under the radar.

The young NBA Star is very successful in keeping his personal life away from media-rich. He is active on Instagram but has never shared moments with any girls or love affairs in his social media account. It seems like Jalen prefers his love life behind the camera.
