A seven-time All-Star and one half of the superstar duo from the LA Clippers, Paul George has made a name for himself in the NBA. Although he is ridiculed beyond measure for shrinking in the playoffs, he is one of the best players in the NBA right now. Off the court, however, PG is a loving father to 2 girls and recently got married to his long time girlfriend, Daniela Rajic.
The couple share custody for the girls and are planning to share the rest of their lives together. But the relationship began on a rather controversial note for the couple.
Paul George’s Rocky Start To The Relationship
Daniela Rajic met Paul George in 2013 at a Tootsie Club. Sparks flew and the two decided to date each other. However after Daniela was pregnant with Paul George’s child, the relationship got rocky.
Paul George seemed like he was not ready for a child yet at the time and he went to the extent of offering Daniela $1 Million for an abortion. However, PG13 and his management claimed that Paul never offered any money. Paul George also came forth and spoke to the media about the pregnancy. He issues a statement that read,
If and when there is legal confirmation that I am the father, I will fully embrace my responsibilities. This is a personal matter that is still being sorted out, so I hope you can respect my privacy
