2022 NBA Playoffs: Meet The Players' All-Star Wives

Fans know all about their favorite NBA players—their stats, what team they play for, etc. However, we’re also a little interested in the women who stand next to them. What are they like? What do they do? How did they meet their beau? Those questions are what made us go researching. We found that a lot of the women are pretty impressive themselves, so we wanted to share.

We’re also going to include women who are long-time partners because marriage isn’t for everyone. Additionally, we’ve included players who have had famous wives that have turned into ex-wives. Let’s be honest: famous people get extra famous when they get together with other celebs. Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian are huge separate, but together? They made serious headlines. 

Without further ado, here are the wives and partners behind your favorite NBA players.

Anne de Paula and Joel Embiid

Anne de Paula and Joel Embiid

The Sixers player Joel Embiid has been dating Sports Illustrated model Anne de Paula since fall of 2018. While engagement rumors have been swirling recently due to a diamond ring that Anne wears on her right hand, nothing has been confirmed yet. Everyone's wondering what's the hold up for the happy couple?!

Embiid announced the birth of his first child, Arthur Elijah De Paula Embiid, on September 25, 2020, sharing the news on Instagram and Twitter. He tagged Anne de Paula, saying, "Kudos to @annedepaula_ for being so strong and giving me the Greatest Gift our life can offer." So they're obviously quite involved despite their privacy.

The Brazilian-born model got her big break with Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Model Search back in 2017. But before her modeling dreams came true, Anne dreamed about becoming a doctor. She told Fox News, “I feel like it was an influence because of my parents and my family. They all work in the [medical] field. I did look up to them… It still can happen, you never know!”

As for Joel Embiid, he's a Cameroonian basketball player for the NBA Philadelphia 76ers after starting his basketball career with the Kansas Jayhawks in college. While foot and knee injuries delayed his professional debut, he was the third draft pick overall for the 76ers in 2014. He's nicknamed himself "the Process" to remind him and others to "trust the process," which seems to have worked out well for Embiied because he's received four All-Star selections.

Francesca Aiello and Blake Griffin

Francesca Aiello and Blake Griffin

Blake Griffin, six-time NBA All-Star and five-time All-NBA selection, began his basketball career in high school playing under his father Tommy Griffin. After playing for the Oklahoma Sooners for two years in College, Griffin was selected by the Clippers in the 2009 NBA draft, leading him to his success on the court today with the Brooklyn Nets.

Despite being unable to play during the 2009-2010 season due to a knee injury, he was successfully won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, was named the NBA Rookie of the Year, and was named as one of Sports Illustrated's 15 Greatest Rookies of All Time the following year in his true debut season.

Francesca has her own swimsuit line, Frankies Bikinis, which she started in 2012—at just 17 years old! In 2014, at the age of 19, she became the youngest designer ever to be featured during Miami Swim Week. Kylie Jenner has been wearing Frankies Bikinis since 2015. (And oddly enough, Blake used to date Kylie's supermodel sister, Kendall).

 

Although they don't appear on each other's social media profiles, 30-year-old Blake Griffin and 23-year-old Francesca Aiello have been dating for about a year now.  While they seemed to be going strong and rumors swirled regarding an impending marriage, Griffin has since been tied to Fox Sports reporter Brooke Fletcher.

Kaitlin Nowak and Jimmy Butler

Kaitlin Nowak and Jimmy Butler

Kaitlin Nowak is an Instagram model with more than 4,500 followers. There's no rhyme or reason to her posts, as they range from fitness to beauty to fashion, and to family. In fact, she has a more professional career as a model that extends past the social media realm.

Jimmy Butler III AKA "Jimmy Buckets" currently plays in the NBA for the team Miami Heat. He showed promise during his college basketball career, transferring from Tyler Junior College to Marquette University after freshman year, before getting drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 2011 as 30th overall. He's a five-time NBA All-Star, three-time All-NBA Team honoree, four-time NBA All-Defensive Team honoree, and was chosen as the NBA's Most Improved Player in 2015.

Jimmy Butler has dated high-profile women in the past, but Kaitlin Nowak is his current girlfriend. They started dating pretty recently, and by October 2019, the pair already had a sweet baby girl named Rylee. Because the couple is quite private, not much is known about the state of their relationship, but Kaitlin has been spotted cheering on Jimmy at games and events. 

 

 

Ever since the couple was first spotted together, rumors have circulated that she and Butler aren’t in a serious relationship. It was even speculated that he’s even cheated on her with other social media models. We think it's all hearsay, but we all will find out the truth eventually. Things do seem a little fishy after Jimmy released comments about not wanting his family to distract him in his "bubble" during work lockdown.

Amelia Vega and Al Horford

Amelia Vega and Al Horford

Amelia Vega Horford is married to none other than Al Horford. She’s a Dominican model, actress, singer, and beauty pageant winner who was impressively crowned Miss Universe 2003. It’s hard to tell that she's tall when she’s standing next to Al Horford (who's 6'10"), but she’s actually a towering 6’2”!

Al Horford is a Dominican player for the national team Oklahoma City Thunder and also representing the Dominican Republic national team. On top of being the highest-paid Latin American basketball player, he holds five NBA All-Star titles. He launched his career in college playing for the Florida Gators as a starting center for their NCAA teams in 2006 and 2007. Before joining the Thunder, he was played for the Atlanta Hawks, the Celtics, and the 76ers.

The couple's love story began in Boston during the Latin Pride Awards, but they didn't officially begin dating until four years after the event. As for their 2003 wedding, they surprised their guests with a ceremony in Santo Domingo that was disguised as a regular old party in true Parks and Recreation style. 

The pair have four children together, sharing a son named Ean born in February 2015, a daughter named Alia born in November 2016, another daughter Ava in July 2018, and another baby girl Nova in February 2020. Fun fact, Al Horford decided to skip a Celtics game to attend his first daughter's birth; talk about good priorities!

Ayesha Curry and Steph Curry

Ayesha Curry and Steph Curry

Ayesha is used to the spotlight and she's getting plenty of attention by dating Steph Curry. She’s a Canadian-American actress, celebrity cook, and author who stars on Cooking with the Currys, Ayesha’s Homemade, and The Great American Baking Show on the Food Network. What she lacks in professional culinary training she makes up in ambition, starting her career in 2014 on her own using the channel Little Lights of Mine on YouTube as her platform. She now has her own cookbook The Seasoned Life (2016). 

Stephen "Steph" Curry is one of the most popular NBA players on the scene right now. In addition to multiple claims that he's the greatest shooter in all of NBA history, he's also a seven-time NBA All-Star, two-time NBA Most Valuable Player twice, and three-time NBA championship winner with the Golden State Warriors.

The pair are the perfect example of the cookie-cutter "power couple" due to their constant devotion to each other. They met as teenagers in Charlotte, North Carolina, during a routine church youth group meeting, but they clarified to People that it wasn't exactly sparks flying or rainbows at the beginning.

Ayesha stated, “We were just kids. He was the cute boy at church that all of the girls were obsessed with, so I made a generalization that maybe he wasn’t for me.”  Steph added, “I don’t remember the exact first day I saw her. There was no wind blowing in her face with a backlight." Despite this, they married in 2011 and now have three children together -- Riley, Ryan, and Canon.

Daniela Rajic and Paul George

Daniela Rajic and Paul George

Before meeting Paul George, Daniela Rajic was a stripper and model who was on her way to becoming a doctor. Paul George met Daniela for the first time while she was working at Tootsies to pay for her University of Miami tuition costs. Now she has her own swimwear company with Sarah Nasser called Nude Swim, and she models her creations on her Instagram account.

 

Paul George, nicknamed "PG-13,"  is a seven-time All-Star player for the Los Angeles Clippers as well as a five-time member of the All-NBA team and a four-time member of the All-Defensive Team. He got his start playing for Indiana Pacers when they drafted him in 2010, quickly securing his place in the NBA with the All-Rookie Second Team honors. By 2013, he was the NBA's Most Improved Player and won an Olympic gold medal in 2016.

Daniela and Paul have had an on-again-off-again relationship since 2013, and they first met when Paul was dating Callie Rivers, daughter of his former head coach. They eventually split and Callie went on to marry 76ers guard Seth Curry and Paul, obviously, dated Daniela Rajic. Before extending a marriage proposal to Rajic, Paul denied rumors that he pushed her to get an abortion in 2014. 

 

Regardless of their custody battles and time apart, the couple has reunited to parent their two daughters, Olivia and Natasha, together. Things were rough after their first child, but following their second child in 2017, the two have been enjoying a happy life in New York. Paul proposed in November 2020.

Kate Bock and Kevin Love

Kate Bock and Kevin Love

Kate got her modeling start at the age of 12 when she was discovered in a pool. She was named SI's Rookie of the Year in 2013 and has been featured every year since. Plus, she speaks fluent French! If the modeling career wasn't impressive enough, knowing the French language is incredibly attractive.

Kevin Love currently plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers as a five-time All-Star and 2016 championship winner. He's also a member of the U.S. national team that won gold medals at the 2012 FIBA World Championship as well as the 2012 Summer Olympics. Love has the longest streak for consecutive games recording double figures in points and rebounds since '76.

The NBA star has been dating Sports Illustrated model Kate Bock for several years, and some even credit her for the Cleveland Cavaliers' success. They met in 2015 before engaging in a long-distance relationship between New York and Cleveland. Bock told Sports Illustrated  how they make it work in the long run:

 

“Luckily, it’s not very far. Cleveland is only like an hour-long flight from New York. So I go back and forth between here and there and jobs, and then sometimes meet him on the road if it makes sense, so I see him pretty often even though we live in different cities and both travel for work. We make it work, so that’s kind of fun."

Natalija Macesic and Nikola Jokic

Natalija Macesic and Nikola Jokic

Natalija Macesic prefers to stay out of the limelight, but she has spoken to a few news networks about her life. Apparently, she’s been eyeing a master’s in psychology, her passion. After that, who knows? Maybe the two will have a few little ones, and she’ll start her own practice.

Nikola Jokic AKA "The Joker" plays for the Denver Nuggets as a three-time NBA All-Star center. He has also been on the All-NBA Team two times as a first-team selection on top of representing the Serbian national team. During the 2014 NBA draft, he was selected by the Nuggets in the second round, which led to his eventual nomination in 2016 to the All-Rookie first team and the All-Star and All-NBA First Team in the 2018-2019 season.

Natalija Macesic and Nikola Jokic have been together for a very long time -- since 2013, in fact! Even before they officially started dating, they were childhood sweethearts for years. The couple frequently takes pictures together and posts them on their Instagram. If anyone shows true love, it’s these two.

Jokic married Natalija Macešic, his girlfriend for seven years, on October 24, 2020, in his hometown of Sombor, Serbia. Their wedding was supposed to occur in June 2020 but was delayed due to COVID concerns and Jokic testing positive himself. There aren't many photos or videos from the event, as it was heavily guarded with only a few guests, but there is a video shared of the couple dancing at the reception.

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson

Khloe moved from one NBA star to another (with a rapper or two in-between)! Like we said before, Kardashian is all up in the L.A. and Hollywood party scene, so it makes sense that she got involved with another high-profile basketball player. Unfortunately for her, these basketball boys haven't exactly been working out. 

30-year-old Tristan Thompson is a Canadian-American pro player for the NBA Chicago Bulls. After playing for the Texas Longhorns in college, he was drafted fourth overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2011 on top of representing and playing with the Canadian national team. In 2016, Thompson led the Cavaliers to a championship win, but the same can't be said for his rocky relationship.

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson

Khloe told Us Weekly that another NBA star, Brandon Jennings, set the two up on a blind date in 2016. They welcomed their first child together in April 2018, just three days after photos and videos came out of Tristan cheating on Khloe. But that wasn't the end of their relationship, nor his cheating scandals...

Against her sister's (and the rest of the world's) wishes, Khloe gave Tristan a second chance. Fast forward to February 2019 (LESS than a year later), and Tristan was up to his old tricks—this time he was caught with the youngest Kardashian/Jenner's long-time BFF, Jordyn Woods. Needless to say, they were both given the boot.

Khloe Kardashian, Triston Thompson, and Lani Blair

Khloe Kardashian, Triston Thompson, and Lani Blair

Triston Thomson is a playboy. He can’t stay faithful to one woman, and that much was revealed by Khloe Kardashian. The pair had a child together, and almost immediately after, Thompson cheated on her with several women. Because of that, Khloe did a tell-all and revealed that the pair have officially split (for the hundredth time).

At first, she looked past the infidelity, but after he had a child with another woman, she couldn’t continue. Thompson had a child with Maralee Nichols, but they apparently didn’t work out either. Recently Thompson has been getting very close with a strip club dancer, Lani Blair.

Lani Blair and Triston Thompson

Lani Blair and Triston Thompson

The craziest thing about Lani Blair is that she looks almost just like the Kardashians – tiny hip, big butt, and absolutely stunning. Thompson clearly has a type. Blair and Thompson were caught kissing, and the sports world has been all over her. What does she do? In short, she’s a strip club dancer, but she aspires for more.

Blair signed onto Model Mayhem in 2007, but that didn’t quite lead to the modeling career she wanted. She works at a strip bar in the Bronx, which is where Thompson likely met her. Before the scandal, she had an Instagram with over 400,000 followers, but since everything went down, she made her profile private.

Jordyn Woods and James Harden

Jordyn Woods and James Harden

Other than being Kylie Jenner's ex-best friend, Jordyn models—she used to model for Khloe's All American denim line, but obviously, those days are over—and now it looks like she's trying to break into acting. Which makes sense, because she's been close to Will and Jada Smith's family her whole life.

James Harden is a top NBA shooter for the Brooklyn Nets, routinely dubbed the NBA's best shooting guard and one of the nation's top players. While playing for the Arizona State Devils in college, he was named All-American and Pac-10 Player of the Year in 2009. He was then drafted that same year to Oklahoma City Thunder, a team he would help to reach the Finals and named him NBA Sixth Man of the Year.

Jordyn Woods and James Harden

So it appears that Jordyn really does love Khloe Kardashian's sloppy seconds! First Tristan, and now she's moving on to another of Khloe's exes, James Harden. The Blast reported in February 2019 that the two had "hooked up," although Jordyn reportedly got Khloe's blessing before anything happened. (Oh, how times have changed.)

 

They were spotted out dancing together at a bar in Texas in July 2019, but neither of them has confirmed the relationship yet. According to TMZ, their hangout was just "coincidental" and lacking any feelings. Good thing, because some sources say that Khloe had no clue that a romance was brewing between them... Interesting...

Hazel Renee is an actress, singer, and reality TV personality who is better known for her recurring appearances on Empire, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Basketball Wives. She landed her big break as an actress in 2013 in a web series called "The Marriage Tour" and the rest is history. 

Draymond Green seems to be the lucky one in this relationship, but he's found his own success as a Golden State Warriors power forward. In fact, he's qualified as an NBA Champion and an NBA All-Star three times each on top of winning the title for NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2017. The Michigan-born athlete is routinely considered one of the emerging most versatile players in the NBA.

The NBA player popped the question to the Basketball Wives star with a $300,000, 6-carat diamond ring in January 2019. The CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills, where he bought the ring, told TMZ that Draymond was "very involved in the design process." Reportedly, the proposal also included a helicopter and a yacht. 

Renee has one child from a previous relationship -- Olive -- as does Draymond -- son Draymond, Jr. Just recently Renee and Green welcomed their first shared child Cash in late 2020 and celebrated the birth of their new baby in shared emotional posts on Instagram celebrating their life and relationship.

Ironically enough, the rest of his brothers played or are currently playing college football.

Kamiah Adams and Bradley Beal

You may (or may not) be surprised that Kamiah Adams and Bradley Beal are one of the most popular couples in the NBA, which is probably due to their obvious chemistry. They met as a Los Angeles club in 2015 via their mutual friend John Wall. Don't you just love it when fate works out like that? Apparently, Adams attracted Beal with her unparalleled boldness by approaching him first with her digits. 

 

Kamiah announced their engagement in summer 2020 with an excited Twitter post captioned with an emphatic "YES!!!" and a picture of the couple holding hands. Their wedding has been indefinitely postponed due to the pandemic, but they are reported to be married. They share two children: Bradley born in 2018 and Braylon born in 2019.

Teyana Taylor is an American singer, actress, dancer, choreographer, and model. Not only has she appeared on runways during Fashion Week, but she was also on the international hit rap record My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy from Kanye West.

Iman Shumpert began his NBA career with the New York Knicks as the 17th pick overall in 2011 before going on to win the 2016 NBA championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers and then transferring to the Brooklyn Nets. He made a name for himself as an athlete with Georgia Tech as one of the team's top scorers for 2009-2010.

According to Essence, Teyana and Iman met in 2014 at a party, which quickly led to a close friendship and, obviously, a romantic relationship. After just a year together, they announced Taylor's pregnancy with a baby girl, who was born in 2015. This whirlwind romance seems to have worked out really well! 

Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert got married in 2016, and despite various baseless rumors, the two claim they’re happily married. They share two children together, two girls born five years apart. She cited that Iman assisted her in her births for both children, including a home birth for her second daughter.

Jada Paul and Chris Paul

Jada Paul (born: Crawley) was born in North Carolina and attended Wake Forest University, where she met her future husband and father to her kids. She spends a lot of her time working with charitable foundations and non-profits with her husband. On the side, she’s built a career as a fashion designer.

Chris Paul's AKA CP3's claim to fame is with the NBA Phoenix Suns as a point guard, winning everything from NBA Rookie of the Year,  NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player, two Olympic gold medals to getting selected to eleven NBA All-Star teams, nine All-NBA teams, and nine NBA All-Defensive teams.

Jada Crawley met Chris Paul while attending Wake Forest University, where Chris played two years of basketball before the NBA drafted him in 2005 by the New Orleans Hornets. Apparently, fellow basketball wife Teyana Taylor leaked the news of their engagement in September 2010 on Twitter after he flew to Winston to propose. 

The college sweethearts married almost exactly a year after the proposal on September 10, 2011. They already started a family before their marriage with their first son born in May 2009, but they quickly expanded their household in August 2012 with a daughter. In fact, Paul brought his family to the set of Family Feud in 2011!

Golden and Kyrie Irving

Golden and Kyrie Irving

Golden, whose real name is Marlene Wilkerson, is a fitness model and very active on Instagram.  She was linked for quite a while to Brooklyn Nets player Kyrie Irving, even hinting at a brief engagement. Golden obviously doesn't need Irving's fame to keep afloat, however. Just take a look at her Instagram; it proves how confident she is with independence.

Kyrie Irving has played with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Boston Celtics, and the Brooklyn Nets during his ongoing basketball career and is currently still with the Nets. From being named a 2014 Most Valuable Player, an All-Star seven times, a two-time member of the All-NBA Team, and the 2016 championship winner, it's no wonder the Nets keep him around.

Golden and Kyrie Irving

Golden and Kyrie Irving

Golden and Kyrie Irving were spotted together in 2018, and the tabloids lost their minds. Then, she was spotted with a rather large ring on her finger, and Irving admitted that he and his long-time girlfriend were now engaged. Sadly, there’s been speculation that Golden and Irving have split because she’s no longer following him on Instagram.

 

He also deleted his dedication post to his fiancée. Kyrie Irving is a very private person, so we may not find out until much later what happened.  In other relationship news, he now has a new fiancée Marlene Wilkerson who is pregnant with the couple's first child.

Lana Rhoades and Kevin Durant

Lana Rhoades and Kevin Durant

This two-time NBA champion can’t be tied down. The guy has dated pretty much everyone out there, and he even had a fiancé at one time. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work out. Most recently, he infamously went on a date with Lana Rhoades that went so bad that it made headlines.

When Rhoades went on a date with this Brooklyn Nets player, she realized Durant literally brought another girl on the date. Why? Oh, Rhoades was a backup – yeah, you read that right. The two surprisingly didn’t connect, mostly because she said he was super boring. Granted, she never said it was especially Durant she went on a date with, but pretty much everyone knows.

Lana Rhoades and Kevin Durant

Lana Rhoades and Kevin Durant

We can see why Durant was interested in Lana Rhoades, to begin with. First off, she’s absolutely gorgeous. She’s heavily active on social media, and that seems to be where Durant finds most of his dates. What does she do? Well, she’s appeared in over 70 adult film productions, so there’s that.

Recently, she’s retired from adult films and has moved toward making her own material through OnlyFans. Rhoades is extremely active on Instagram (and has over 16 million followers) and also posts on YouTube from time to time. One of her most noteworthy ventures is her podcast "3 Women, 1 Cooking Area."

Mariah Riddlesprigger and Giannis Antetokounmpo

Mariah Riddlesprigger and Giannis Antetokounmpo

Antetokounmpo has gained the nickname “Greek Freak” because of his otherworldly size, speed, strength, and ball-handling skills. Playing for the Milwaukee Bucks, he’s managed to make his way to the NBA Finals and become an NBA champion. He’s also been the Most Valuable Player twice. Right along his side has been Mariah Riddlesprigger.

Riddlesprigger and the Greek Freak have been boyfriend and girlfriend for quite a while. For some reason, they have yet to tie the knot, but we’re guessing it’s coming soon. In February 2020, the two had a child and named him Liam Charles. They both apparently love to spend a lot of time outdoors. Antetokounmpo now wants more kids to add to the mix.

Mariah Riddlesprigger and Giannis Antetokounmpo

Mariah Riddlesprigger and Giannis Antetokounmpo

Let’s talk about Mariah Riddlesprigger. She’s a beautiful woman, clearly, but Antetokounmpo may have been more attracted to her athletics. She was a volleyball player in high school and became team captain as well as an MVP of her own during her senior year. Riddlesprigger loved volleyball so much that she continued playing in college while perusing her degree in Sport Management and Sociology.  

Riddlesprigger also has a love for basketball, and you could say it’s in her blood. Her father played Division I hoops for Fresno State University. We’re not sure how the two met, but they’ve clearly hit it off. Now, Riddlesprigger is focusing on her clothing line that’s inspired by her mother.

KK Dixon and Ja Morant

KK Dixon and Ja Morant

Ja Morant has been an all-star lately. This Grizzlies player has already earned the NBA All-Star award, NBA Rookie of the Year, and NBA All-Rookie First Team. While he’s fire on the court, his personal life is kept behind closed doors for the most part. What we do know is that he went steady with KK Dixon for a spell.  

The two welcomed a baby girl in 2019, named Kaari Jaidyn Morant. It was rough as their child was born premature, but she’s healthy now. Morant loves his little girl and is often seen with her on the sidelines. That being said, Morant admitted he split from his baby mama in a post saying he’s “chilling single and cool on females.”

KK Dixon and Ja Morant

KK Dixon and Morant still have a pleasant relationship with each other. Dixon herself is pretty athletic. She played volleyball and basketball at Frisky University, which might be how the pair met. She found love for sports when she was younger but started to really get competitive when she played basketball with the Missouri State Bears.

It’s unclear how the pair met and how long they dated. On top of that, no one knows how or why they split. Everything is low-key. What is known, Morant has posted about KK Dixon on his social media thanking her for their daughter. Even though they split, it’s great to hear they have a decent relationship.

Anamaria Goltes and Luka Doncic

Anamaria Goltes and Luka Doncic

Luka Doncic is an NBA superstar. This Slovenian is currently playing with the Mavericks, but who knows what his future holds? Well, unfortunately, it doesn’t look too great as of late because he suffered an injury recently. The stakes are high, so they have to approach this situation carefully. Putting him in could lead to losses, and now’s not the time for that.

Anamaria Goltes is there to help him heal though. The pair have known each other since they were 12! And despite the fact he’s gotten more and more popular over the years, he still stays true to his roots and his beautiful girlfriend. The pair met in Croatia and have been simpatico ever since.

So, who is this girl that’s stolen Doncic’s heart? A model, dancer, and lifestyle coach. Goltes likes to keep busy. She started out as a dancer for 10 years before she transitioned into modeling. Now, she’s a lifestyle and fitness instructor. While she loves being an entrepreneur, her real love is motivating people.

She’s quoted as saying, “Growing up, I always enjoyed going to the gym and working out. And now, I love motivating people to put their health first and teach them that working out can be fun too!” Doncic and Goltes post on Instagram regularly, snapping photos with each other and their dogs.

Bella B, Ella Mai, and Jayson Tatum

Bella B, Ella Mai, and Jayson Tatum

Playing for the Celtics, we’re all expecting a lot from Jayson Tatum. Recently, Bradley Beal has even come out to say that Tatum could be the future face of the NBA. That’s a pretty huge compliment, and no one can say where he’s going to go in his career. This 24-year-old has already won three NBA All-Stars, so he’s gonna go far.

The tough part? His love life. Just like some of the other famous players out there, Tatum became a father at 19, and his relationship with his son's mom didn’t work out. Enter Ella Mai – a famous R&B singer. The relationship started off with fireworks, and the paparazzi had tons of photos of him visiting her home in Missouri.

But wait, he’s also been spotted with Bella B! This model was spotted on the sidelines of some of his games, and the pair have had dinner together more than once. Honestly, we’re not sure who he’s dating at this point. Sure, you could have dinner with friends, but this is getting a little much. Everyone is thinking he could be dating both girls!

Bella B is more private than Ella Mai, but she isn’t shy to make her presence felt when it comes to Jayson Tatum. The pair also follow each other on social media, so there’s certainly something suspicious going on here. Maybe the hubbub was a bit much because Tatum ended up taking the L on that game.

Honestly, no one is sure who Jayson Tatum is dating. Is it Ella Mai or Bella B? Ella Mai has certainly made headlines like Tatum. She has been nominated for three Grammys and walked away with one in 2018. She’s certainly got the fame to hold a candle to the NBA player. All we can say is that you don’t piss off a singer, Tatum.

Bella B may not be famous in her own right, but she comes from famous blood. Her father was Jimmy Jam who is a renowned music producer. He’s best known for his work with Janet Jackson, who happens to be Bella B’s godmother. Bella B has also been linked to Drake, but we aren’t too sure what happened there.

Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker

Devin Booker has all eyes on him. Playing for the Phoenix Suns, he’s walked away with three NBA All-Star awards and even NBA All-Rookie First Team. Booker made major headlines when he became the youngest player to score over 60 points in a game, finishing with 70 against the Celtics.  

The woman that’s there at his side is Kendall Jenner. Kendall isn’t like her sisters for the most part. She tries to keep her dating life private, but the pair have been going steady for two years, lately showing off a lot of PDA at his games. These two might be long-haul!

Kendall Jenner has a pretty famous family on her own. From the Kardashian/Jenner group, it wasn’t hard for Devin Booker to fit in with all her nieces and nephews. When Kendall went on The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon, she noted how Booker loves her family. Stormi and Booker have a great relationship in particular.

The two have gone on little vacations here and there. After two years, we’re wondering when the pair are going to tie the knot. Maybe with the drama between her sister and that drama, it could be a bit. Kendall doesn’t want to end up like Khloe, but Booker doesn’t seem like the type to go fooling around.
