Nikola Jokic & Natalija Macesic – 3 Years
Nikola Jokic can always count on his #1 fan to be in the stands: his spouse, Natalija Jokic. Although the pair married in October 2020, Natalija has been with Nikola since their teenage years. When the Denver Nuggets center joined the team in 2015, she moved to the city with him, supporting her hubby from the sidelines.
These days, Natalija is often seen at the two-time NBA MVP’s games with their daughter Ognjena. In March 2023, she shared an Instagram snap of their kid holding Nikola’s game ball from his 100th triple-double. It’s an achievement in NBA history only five other players have ever earned.

Dillon Brooks & Big Bambina – Undisclosed
A second-round pick out of Oregon in 2017, Dillon Brooks spent his six-year NBA career with the Memphis Grizzlies. However, as per a May 2023 Fox News article, the team is reportedly not bringing him back. This came after the Canadian professional basketball player teased and trash-talked LeBron James during the 2023 NBA playoffs.
Perhaps Brooks can seek comfort in Big Bambina. The 6-foot-7 defensive-minded player and his Vancouver-based model girlfriend have kept their relationship behind closed doors. However, after news circulated she was transgender, Bambina took to Twitter to publicize that she wasn’t one. No kids are shared between the two, but Brooks has a daughter from his ex, Mila Brooks.
