Gilbert Arenas has been involved in a rocky nine-year relationship with Laura Govan. He was recently traded to from the Washington Wizards to the Orlando Magics and he didn’t even bother saying goodbye to her or the kids. He just hopped a plane and jetted out of town. She is now claiming through her rep that he has abandoned her and their three kids with no money and has cut off all communications. Hit the purple link below for the rest of the story.
Laura was rumored to have been having an affair with Shaquille O’Neal and part of the reason he split from Shaunie. Laura released this statement through her rep:
Govan, who is four months pregnant with their fourth child, “has not heard from Arenas the whole month of December,” said publicist Laura Wright in an e-mailed statement. “Govan and the children feel like they have been abandoned.”After Gilbert was traded he told The Post he couldn’t wait to get to Florida:
Wright – who has worked for Govan’s sister Gloria and her fiance, Los Angeles Lakers forward Matt Barnes – said that Govan was left at their Great Falls home “with no money to purchase food or Christmas gifts.”
The breakup happened around Thanksgiving. Though he didn’t reveal a relationship rift at the time, Arenas recently told reporters he had been staying with Wizards teammate Nick Young for about a month.
“I went to the airport and left. I didn’t have a chance to say bye to anybody. I didn’t even say bye to the kids.” (But Arenas also said that Washington would remain “in my heart” because “that’s where I raised my kids and have my family.”)I wouldn’t be surprised if they get back together as they have done the breakup-makeup for years. Whatever happens, he should take care of his kids and not be a deadbeat dad.
