5 NBA players who dated Hollywood stars and models

Saying that basketball stars are among the biggest sports personalities in the world is not hyperbole. The fact that sports players are tall, have amazing physical ability and are frequently attractive makes many female celebrities pay attention to them. Numerous NBA players have dated several of the biggest names over the years. 

Fortunately, compared to most celebrities, relationships involving NBA players tend to be significantly less focused; nevertheless, this can alter when an individual has global celebrity power. The news that an NBA player is dating a well-known person is not shocking to anyone anymore. Let’s have a detailed look at some of the top relationships of celebrities and NBA stars.

Here are the 5 NBA players who dated Hollywood stars and models

5) Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian

Even those who have no interest in basketball have heard of Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian's relationship. The two are unavoidable as their turbulent relationship is frequently featured in news articles and on magazine kiosks. Since the two began dating in 2016, it has been impossible for the public to ignore them. Many have questioned how the relationship continued as long as it did since Tristan is alleged to have cheated on her multiple times. Their relationship is still being discussed, and it probably won't end anytime soon.

4) Kyrie Irving and Kehlani

Though most people certainly don't remember it, individuals who are interested in entertainment surrounding the lives of celebrities might remember that Kyrie Irving once dated Kehlani. The rumours that Kehlani was cheated on Irving were the cause of all the commotion. Irving seems unconcerned by the renowned singer's alleged relationship with another musician while they were dating. In a pretty long post, he defended his ex, which demonstrated a great deal of class from the celebrity who some people find to be a little spoiled on occasion.

3) Devin Booker and Kendall Jenner

When he first started playing basketball, he was relatively small and mostly played post-guard until switching to shooting guard. Booker is well-known for his skills on the court, but his high-profile love relationships have also drawn media attention. His past relationships have included relationships with celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Jordyn Woods. There have been rumours circulating that his two-year stand with Kendall Jenner ended in October 2022. Though there were rumours that the pair were reconciling, they are still formally broken up.

2) Rihanna and J.R. Smith 

It's unlikely that any basketball fan could enjoy watching Rihanna’s courtside at almost any basketball match. She is among the most attractive and successful women on the planet, which made J.R. Smith a little anxious and possessive. Sadly, for Smith, their relationship didn't endure for very long. Over the years, Rihanna has spoken out against Smith on a few occasions, most notably when she criticised him for his unsatisfactory behaviour in the playoff series. It turns out that the two weren't destined to be together and rightly so.

1) Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian

Almost everyone who loves entertainment and gossip probably knows all the celebrities Kim Kardashian has been dating throughout the years, although Kris Humphries, an NBA player, has been one of them. In the end, the couple did get married, although the whole affair was somewhat of a disaster and only lasted for about 72 days. The couple's relationship began in 2010, they tied the knot in 2011, and their divorce was finalised shortly after. Nevertheless, it relates to what fans have become accustomed to seeing in Kardashian partnerships.
