Laura Ivaniukas and her partner, D’Angelo Russell, recently again embraced parenthood with the arrival of their second child, Mila-Rose, in August 2024.
D’Angelo Russell is an American professional basketball player who is versatile in playing both points and shooting guard positions.
The Los Angeles Lakers selected him as the second overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. He later played for several teams before returning to the Lakers again.
Russell’s basketball career began earnestly at Ohio State University, and he eventually grew bigger in the NBA.
Something that grew with his game is his personality, which has charmed ladies over the years. As a matter of fact, he has dated many women but is unmarried.
However, Russell is in a relationship with his girlfriend, Laura Ivaniukas, and the couple share two children.
