Ja Morant is a rising star in NBA and is the point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies. He's an excellent basketball player and a great role model for his daughter, Kaari Jaidyn Morant.

The only daughter of Morant, Kaari has recently won over the hearts of Morant's fans with her sweet personality and how she cheers and responds enthusiastically to her father's on-court successes.

Kaari is Morant's daughter from his previous relationship with KK Dixon, now his ex-girlfriend. It's unclear when the NBA star and Dixon dated because the couple kept their relationship private until they split up.

Fans learned of the couple's breakup after Morant and his ex-girlfriend reportedly unfollowed each other on Instagram in 2020. After splitting from Dixon, the young athlete was rumored to be dating another woman, but he denied it.

Their daughter Kaari is the glue that holds Dixon and Morant together even though they are no longer together as a couple. They welcomed the baby girl on August 7, 2019.

Ja Morant's Co-parenting with KK Dixon

Kaari has been living at her mom's house. Morant and KK Dixon have a healthy co-parenting relationship when raising their daughter. The basketball player and his ex-partner frequently took turns spending time with their child.

Dixon frequently updates her Instagram with videos of her and Kaari's travels, entertaining her many followers. They visited the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, where they saw several paintings.

The mother-daughter duo also made the most in Arkansas, having fun in the snow and at the beach. Dixon has a lot of great memories, and she shared a lengthy Instagram post about how important it is to spend quality time with her child. She wrote:

"Even if it's just small to you it'll mean the world to them later down the road."

Along with Dixon's message was a video of her and Kaari strolling by the shoreline during sunset. Another part of the clip showed the charming girl playing with sand.

The adoring mother never fails to express her love for her adorable daughter, whether in person or online. She once posted a sweet video of their recent trips with the caption, "Here's to raising queens."

Morant noted that his daughter was why he kept going into the game, although she was too young to understand what he was doing.

Morant, on the other hand, has managed to balance his career and his relationship with Kaari. This year, the little girl watched several of her father's games at home or on the court.

Morant is not shy about how Kaari supports him in his career. When he lost a match due to an injury in February 2022, his daughter knew how to make him feel better.

The athlete posted a video to Twitter of his daughter watching his game, in which she showed little emotion at his team's loss. When her mother asked if her father was okay, she quickly replied to her mom, "Yeah."

In another match in March 2022, Morant took his daughter to another event, where she stole the show as she joined him in his courtside interview. Morant stated that his daughter is his motivation.

Kaari was caught on video dancing to music at her father's basketball event in April 2022. She wore a white shirt over a blue jersey with the number 12, which was her father's number.

Kaari showed her cheerfulness again when she attended her dad's match in October 2022. The official NBA Instagram account captured Kaari's sweet interaction with her father.

The clip showed the youngster rushing over to her father and asking him how well he had performed. Morant later gave Kaari a high five and kissed her on the cheek.

The proud dad shared on Instagram a snap of himself clutching Kaari close to his chest. Morant noted that his daughter was why he kept going into the game, although she was too young to understand what he was doing.

Despite his success, Ja Morant was always quick to give credit where credit was due, especially to his family. His mother once received an extremely extravagant gift, which stunned his fans.
