DeJuan Lamont Blair, an American former NBA player, has recently been surrounded by rumors regarding his sexual orientation nine years after separating from his ex-girlfriend, Angel Love.
Born on April 22, 1989, in Pennsylvania, Blair began his NBA career when he was just 20 years old.
Blair entered the 2009 NBA draft, where the San Antonio Spurs selected him as the 37th overall pick.
He played seven seasons in the NBA, representing the Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, and Washington Wizards.
DeJuan Blair Is Not Married But Does Have A Daughter With His Former Partner
Blair was in a relationship with Angel Love Davis while playing in the NBA.
They had a daughter named Heaven Love in 2014, but Angel raised her alone as a single mother.
Angel and DeJuan didn’t last long, and they broke up in 2015. Their relationship was only made public when they starred on the VH1 reality show ‘Basketball Wives LA‘ in 2016.
Blair’s relationship with Angel Love is a part of the storyline, even though they are no longer together at that time.
Angel Love is a cover model and a social media sensation with more than 1 million followers on Instagram.
Despite being a TV personality, she has three college degrees and is also a registered nurse.
On May 23, 2020, Angel Love gave birth to a son named Savior Amar at just 28 weeks, but she has not revealed who the father of her baby is.
It’s unclear who she may have been dating at the time of Savior’s conception, as she has kept her romantic life relatively private after separating from Blair.
According to sources, she was previously married to Steven Williams, but sadly, he allegedly lost his life in 2011.
She wrote on social media about the journey since becoming a mother of two,
These past few months have been a real journey and one of my biggest blessings.
DeJuan Blair and Angel Love haven’t seemed to be in contact with each other in recent days.
Recently, DeJuan Blair was reportedly exposed by a partner claiming a five-year relationship.
However, Blair hasn’t publicly announced his sexual orientation, but the man who was allegedly in a relationship with DeJuan Blair revealed that he is gay and accused him of cheating.
DeJuan Blair Retired From The NBA Due To Several Injuries
Due to prior injuries, Blair reportedly played his whole career without anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) in his knees.
Even though he adjusted well, this restriction gradually tore into his physique, affecting his endurance and mobility.
Because of his ailments, Blair frequently had trouble finding a consistent position on teams.
Blair participated in several international leagues after leaving the NBA. In the summer of 2019, he signed a contract with the Italian team Carpegna Prosciutti Basket Pesaro.
But Pesaro canceled his contract when he appealed against a two-year suspension for testing positive for oxymorphone-oxycodone, which are opioid pain medications.
