How did P.J. Washington and Brittany Renner meet?

Their relationship status gained some traction when netizens caught them quarantining together about a year later. A picture of the same couch appeared in both their social feeds, which practically let the cat out of the bag immediately. Another hint was when Brittany Renner changed her Twitter bio location to Charlotte.

Yes, at the time, P.J. Washington was with the Hornets. Soon after, the couple confirmed their relationship and welcomed their son, Paul Jermaine Washington III, in May 2021. However, just a few months later, the celebrity couple went their separate ways.

What Happened Between P.J. Washington and Brittany Renner?

Their split was far from smooth. About two weeks after Renner gave birth, they reportedly split.

In fact, he claimed that Renner “faked” her affection. P.J. Washington started posting cryptic messages on social media, one of which was, “Watch the snakes cause they watchin you“. Various speculations began circulating on the internet.

Brittany, however, denied every comment that claimed she used the NBA star during her appearance on the “Off the Record” podcast. “I’ve been with men with way more money… if I was truly trying to cash out, I would’ve cashed out five-six years ago with men with a lot more,” she said.

“That was his choice. I don’t have to leg-lock n—–… that child was planned,” Renner said of her son, Paul Jermaine Washington III. “You asked me to move in with you. You wanted me to have your child at 22-years-old. And here we are. I told you, ‘I’m ok to wait. I’m not in a rush.”

Over the years, she has been rumored to be in relationships with many celebrities and athletes, including James Harden, Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Jamal Murray, Ben Simmons, Trey Songz, Chris Brown, and Colin Kaepernick.

Brittany Renner and P.J. Washington’s relationship drama has been a hot topic since the summer of 2021. In fact, it was rumored that Washington was paying the model up to $200k per month in child support. However, the Mavs forward negated it on social media by tweeting, “Stop the 🧢.” on X. It’s been four years now, but we are still discussing the couple and their controversy to this day. Why?

Just weeks ago, they were caught on video in a heated argument as P.J. Washington picked up their child from Brittany Renner’s home. She stated, “Guys, this is what we’re not doing, so every time that he does this, I’m gonna record because that’s not okay,” to the camera.

The content creator’s mother told Washington, “He doesn’t want to go with you,” referring to the child.

Renner adds, “That’s terrible, 3 weeks in a row.”

Things began heating up after the person behind the camera yelled, “What’d you say? I didn’t hear.” The NBA star then went on a rant, spewing a bunch of expletives in front of his child.

It’s quite clear that things aren’t pleasant between the two families. Apart from these controversial headlines, though, P.J. Washington has moved on, marrying Alisah Chanel in October 2023. Another piece of positive news was him securing a four-year, $90 million contract extension with the Mavericks.
