Trivia

She is the NCAA all-time leader in career triple-doubles.

Born in Walnut Creek, California, to Romanian-American parents. Her father, Dan Ionescu, fled Communist Romania around the time of the 1989 revolution, seeking political asylum in the United States. He hoped that his then-wife, Liliana Blaj, and their son Andrei could join them in a few months, but they were unable to move to the US until 1995. By that time, Dan owned a limousine service in Northern California, where he had chosen to settle because he had several extended family members in that area.

On January 20, 2023, Ionescu announced her engagement with Football Center Hroniss Grasu for nearly 3 years together.
