The Dancing with the Stars season 30 winner was accused of jealousy and emotional abuse by Taylor – they also share 2 children together

Last week, Amber Rose, 40, and Iman Shumpert, 34, were spotted catching some rays in Miami – naturally, rumours started swirling about a potential romance. According to TMZ, the duo were seen lounging in beach chairs, puffing on cigarettes, and sharing a few laughs as they soaked up the sun.

Despite the beach day looking like a scene straight out of a romcom, insiders say the pair, who appeared together on a reality show last year, are just good friends who were catching up.

The former NBA star, who once played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, is fresh off his divorce from singer and actress Teyana Taylor, 33. The former couple, who were married for seven years, finalised their split just a few months ago after a court battle over issues like parenting plans and child support.

Shumpert’s name would ring a bell for basketball fans, although his life has been anything but court-bound. The Illinois native made his NBA debut in 2011 as the 17th overall pick for the New York Knicks and later became an NBA champ with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016.

He’s dabbled in music

Shumpert retired from the NBA in 2021 after a 10-season career. Injuries had affected his consistency, and he was waived by the Brooklyn Nets.
