Kyrie Irving has been through some tough times in the last few years. Apart from his brilliance on the court, the Brooklyn Nets star has been through a COVID-19 vaccination controversy, was left untreated last offseason, and got himself into an antisemitic saga. Recently, Irving has shocked the NBA world again by requesting a trade despite the Nets being fourth in the Eastern Conference. However, his wife, Marlene Wilkerson, has been by his side. The duo have been together since 2018 and have a son together. Before her marriage to Kyrie Irving, Wilkerson had a couple of spicy romances with Lionel Messi’s and her own husband’s teammates.

Marlene Wilkerson is a famous YouTuber and a social media influencer with over 400K followers on Instagram. The 29-year-old has a net worth of $2 million. However, before her relationship with Irving, Wilkerson was involved in high-profile romances with famous athletes.
