Over the past few months, some narratives around Lillard have drastically changed. Once hailed as the flag-bearer of loyalty in the NBA, his move to the Bucks shattered that narrative.

Kay’La also cleared the air around his ‘family man’ status. She revealed that she was quiet in order to maintain that image of Lillard. Moreover, she also revealed that the Bucks superstar was absent from his parental duties.

“Despite our separation for several months, I have continued to support that image to the public”, revealed Kay’La. “I have been the primary parent for our three children since their birth”, said Kay’La Lillard as per RadarOnline.

She further added, “While I am a registered and licensed nurse, I am a stay-at-home mother for our children. I have made all the major decisions regarding our children: I interviewed and selected their pediatrician and their dentist; I have made all medical decisions for the children.” Apart from demanding the prenup to be enforced, Damian Lillard has also asked his wife to drop the surname.
