KYRIE IRVING'S DAUGHTER

Back in 2013 he had a brief relationship with the former Miss Texas, Andrea Wilson. The result of the affair was a daughter, Azurie Elizabeth Irving, but before he accepted her as his child, Irving demanded a paternity test.

Irving and Wilson welcomed their daughter on November 23, 2015, and Irving named his child after his mother, Elizabeth, who had died when the basketball player was just 4 years old.

Litle Azurie lives in Texas with her mother, and Irving keeps his daughter out of the limelight as much as possible. Irving and his sister Asia were raised in New Jersey by their father Drederick Irving after their mom's death

Drederick was also a basketball player, and he immediately recognized his son's talent for the game. At the time of Irving's birth, Drederick and Elizabeth were living in Australia where Irving's dad played for the Bulleen Boomers.

Irving is very close to his sister Asia, and his half-sister London. Asia is a successful fashion designer, and London is now twelve years old, and on her way to being a celebrity.

In 2017, Irving surprised his father by having the West Orange, New Jersey house in which he'd raised his children renovated and redecorated. He said:

"He sacrificed a lot. Ultimately gave up his dream to play basketball professionally [to support the family]."

At just 28, Irving has proved himself among the best in the world of basketball. He is a devoted family man and has come out in support of the right of Native Americans. Irving's mother was half Sioux, and the basketball player and Asia have been welcomed into the community.
