NBA star Aaron Gordon recently spoke about his love life and touched on an incident where he saw a woman searching his net worth during a date. Per Complex, the Denver Nuggets forward touched on the topic during an interview with Michael Porter Jr. on his Curious Mike show.
Asked if he has plans of settling down, the 28-year-old replied in the affirmative. “Yeah, for sure,” Gordon said. “I’ll definitely settle down. In ten years, yeah. I think I’ll be married in five years. … I’ve been in the NBA since I was 18, so I grew up in this. I’ve seen the ins and outs, I’ve done this, that, the third. It’s exhausting. Being in the streets is exhausting. Being outside, it’s tiring. I’m not saying marriage isn’t tiring and exhausting in its own right, it is work, but if you find the right woman it can be completely empowering. What’s a king without a queen?”
Gordon also shared details about his ideal woman before touching on his dating history after becoming a professional basketball player. “Check this out, I went on a date with this girl one time, I forget where we were going where it was, might have been in like Chicago or something like that,” he said.
“I got to the spot, right, we were just sitting at the bar waiting for our table getting drinks, whatever. She opened up her phone, the last thing she had on her phone was ‘Aaron Gordon’s net worth.’ You know what I’m saying? See what I’m saying? I was like, ‘Yo this is wild.'”
In 2021, Gordon agreed to a 4-year $92 million contract extension with the Denver Nuggets. And though the 28-year-old described that dating experience as funny, he said what occurred made him realize the challenges celebrities sometimes face in their dating lives.
“When you get to this level, there’s certain girls that mess with you just for, you know, like the clout, the money, the security,” he said. “There are real ones, you know, there’s real ones out there.”
