Anthony Kim is married to Emily Kim. The couple has a 2-year-old daughter, Bella Kim. The famous “girl dad”, despite his usual private personality, turns out to be extremely expressive when it comes to his daughter.

As the star seems to have the support of his wife and daughter in Jeddah, the main components of making a perfect comeback seem to have been taken care of. His take on the matter? Well, the newest LIV Golf addition said, “I’m excited to be out here with my daughter and my family and just enjoy the experience that LIV is providing,” he said.

So, in light of the upturn in such questions, who is it that this long-lost star was dating before he went incognito?

What was the last known relationship of LIV Golf’s latest addition?

Almost a decade ago, when Anthony Kim bid the golf world goodbye, he was publicly in a committed relationship with his now ex-girlfriend, Lisa Pruett. The couple first got together in 2005. But it was only in 2008, after Anthony Kim made it big in golf circles, that their relationship became the talk of the town.
