The NBA has garnered a lot of popularity over the years because of the stellar basketball on display. The league’s increasing popularity has meant that the stars that play in it become global icons. Increased status, coupled with multi-million dollar contracts, has led to them mingling in the same social circles as other famous actors and musicians. This leads to famous link-ups between superstar athletes and celebrities, which the tabloids love to cover.
Relationships between sports personalities and famous celebrities have always captured the imagination of the general public. The latest rumor circulating around the internet is that of Lakers star Rui Hachimura’s alleged link-up with pop icon Selena Gomez. In the later hours of 2nd December, a Twitter account by the username of Jake posted about the link-up. The post read, “Selena Gomez and Rui Hachimura have been “quietly hanging out.” However, the rumors regarding the two famous personalities could be false.
Rui Hachimura has only played twelve games this season. He has missed a significant portion of the season due to a nose injury. However, he is on the verge of returning to the court. Nevertheless, it hasn’t been his professional career that is in the limelight right now. Hachimura’s rumored relationship with Selena Gomez could be false, according to numerous reports. Hachimura has been in a relationship with influencer-turned-model Briana Delgado. Although Hachimura rarely shares his private life, reports suggest the two have lived together since Hachimura was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.
