Dillon Brooks' Potential Girlfriend & Dating Life Are Often Discussed by Fans
Dillon Brook's dating life has been a subject of interest and, more so, media scrutiny in recent years. Apart from becoming a father to an adorable baby girl, fans have suspected that his current romantic partner is a transgender woman.
Although Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks rarely provides updates about his romantic life, it has been trending on social media for some time. This is despite his preference to lead a relatively private life, which has kept fans in suspense and speculation.
Brooks rarely, if ever, provides updates about his romances. In their absence from public knowledge, the media has conjured a few rumors to ponder, which have yet to be proven nor to which the pro basketballer has responded.
However, one confirmed aspect of his personal life is that he is a father to an adorable baby girl. The mother of his daughter is also known, but apart from being parents to their child, the nature of their relationship remains to be clarified.
Everything We Know about the Mother Of Dillon Brooks' Child
Brooks has a daughter named Mila, with whom he once appeared for a brief interview on the court. In the adorable clip of Mila posted on YouTube, she grabs the mic from the host to say "Hi!" while giving her dad a chance to do the same.
From how Brooks interacted with Mila, it was clear the two had a solid bond. However, this was only one of their rare appearances together, as Brooks never posts about his daughter. In fact, his Instagram timeline was empty at the time of writing.
Mila was born to a woman named Heather. Her exact birthdate is unknown, but based on an old post from Heather's timeline, she was already in her mother's belly in October 2018. Neither Heather nor Brooks announced Mila's arrival, but she has frequently appeared on her mom's Instagram since.
In June last year, Heather posted a lovely selfie of herself and Mila sporting swimwear, seemingly enjoying a beach day. In the same month, Heather shared a thread of photos and clips depicting her daughter's most heartwarming moments. She gushed about Mila in one post, writing:
"My home is with you [yellow heart emoji] The most wonderful blessing is a good family."
Mila has also attended her dad's games, often sporting a jacket or hoodie with his jersey number and last name. Her mom's occupation is not officially known, but judging from her posts and professionally-shot photos, it's likely that she's an Instagram model.
Dillon Brooks' Fans Are Trying to Figure Out Who His Girlfriend Is
The speculation seems to have begun in 2021 when one fan claimed Brooks had a girlfriend who was apparently in Canada. Another rumor surfaced the following year, saying Brooks was romantically involved with a woman who was reportedly transgender.
The news garnered mixed reactions from fans; while others didn't care, some didn't believe the rumor was true, and the rest simply focused on his game on the court. Regardless, Brooks never commented on the scrutiny his love life faced and continued to keep it to himself.
Dillon Brooks' Tough Game
It's been likened to that of other NBA heavyweights, including Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, who's married to Ayesha Curry, and James Harden. There's a popular myth that says Canadian basketball players are soft, and it's something Brooks—born to a construction worker and a bank project director—has worked actively to disprove.
In fact, he has built a reputation as one of the roughest guards in the game, and players from other teams lament playing against him. He was donned "Dillon the Villain," a nickname he fully embraced. Still, apart from his teammates, Brooks managed to make some friends in the league.
