New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson is one of the biggest names in the NBA. Off the court, the 2019 No. 1 overall pick tends to keep his private life out of the spotlight. But he has been public about his relationship with his girlfriend, Ahkeema Rose, although they don’t share too much about their lives together all too often.
The two have been together for a few years, and since they started dating, they have started a family together. Here’s what to know about Williamson and Rose’s relationship.
Inside Zion Williamson’s Relationship With Ahkeema Rose
According to People.com, the couple has been publicly together since February 2023, though it’s possible they had been dating before making their relationship known. While Williamson is widely recognized for his NBA success, the two have kept their relationship private for much of their time together. In one of her Instagram posts, Ahkeema said that their relationship is “Private but not a secret.”
Since starting their relationship, they have welcomed a daughter, Azira, born in November 2023. Their family is still growing, as Rose recently announced via her Instagram page on her birthday that she and Williamson are expecting a second child, though the details are scarce for now. The couple has not yet revealed the baby’s gender, as Rose may not be far enough along for them to know.
Though they tend to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, Williamson and Rose were very public about Azira’s birth, sharing updates via Rose’s Instagram. They also shared their gender reveal party on Ahkeema’s YouTube Channel.
Before dating Williamson, Rose was already a mother. She has a son from a previous relationship, though few details are available about him. It is unclear how involved Williamson is in her son’s life, but notably, he has embraced Rose and her son.
What Does Rose Do for a Living?
According to her Instagram profile, Rose was previously a real estate agent, regularly posting about her success in closing deals. She most recently posted about investing in real estate on Jan. 11, though it’s not clear if she works in the industry or if its a passion of hers to invest in it.
Whether she is or isn’t, she has shifted to content creation, sharing posts about her daily life, her relationship with Williamson, and attending his games in New Orleans. While she posts about her personal life, she also posts about what she shops for, what she drives, and her fashion choices.
