Cousins! It is officially a wrap for longtime couple Nia Long and fiancé Ime Udoka. Despite their shared 13 years together the couple has decided to call it quits following the NBA coach’s cheating scandal!
A source close to Nia confirmed the news to People magazine within an exclusive statement. “The situation is unfortunate and painful, but Nia is focusing on her children and rebuilding her life.”
The direct cause of their breakup has been noted as Ime’s affair with a female employee apart of the Boston Celtics organization.
The rep shares that though the couple are no longer together their main focus remains their son Kez and being effective co-parents.
Earlier this month Nia revealed the difficulties she alongside her children were forced to face following news of Ime’s infidelity. “I think the most heartbreaking thing about all of this was seeing my son’s face when the Boston Celtics organization decided to make a very private situation public,” Nia shared told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month.
As we previously reported the Boston Celtics organization released a forwarded statement confirming Ime’s immediate suspension. It was stated that Ime had violated, “team policies.” His future with the team is still under review at this time following September’s announcement.
It wasn’t long before the public caught wind of Ime’s alleged relationship with a female staff member of the organization.
Ime had also released a statement following news of his reported cheating scandal. He issued an apology to his team as well as his family. “I want to apologize to our players, fans, the entire Celtics organization, and my family for letting them down,” he said. “I am sorry for putting the team in this difficult situation, and I accept the team’s decision.”
Ime added, “Out of respect for everyone involved, I will have no further comment.”
Fans have since then showed Nia infinite love in letting her know that she stands and will forever remain the baddest to ever do it.
