Six months down the line, when he came back from Dallas, Dennis Rodman casually visited Josh Slocum?s house. He had no idea that this little assembly was just the beginning of a whole new journey that he had not expected.
The statement made him puzzled when a girl in the group casually congratulated him on expected parentage. He was not prepared to acknowledge such reports. The person involved was a woman called Michelle, she was not divorced and they were not yet an official couple.
Rodman alternated between being irritated and confused. He thought that maybe Michelle had gotten herself pregnant deliberately, but he was not entirely sure about it. Though it started shakily, Rodman began to savor the happiness that came with his firstborn daughter D.J. who was born on April 25, 2001.
His sudden parenthood made him see life differently and consequently, he and Michelle went ahead and decided to increase their family size.

There came a day when Michelle was at home and Rodman called her asking that she open her door.
Incredibly, Michelle found a Faberge egg at her door along with a note that said, ?Will you marry me?? The egg contained a diamond engagement ring. That moment was unusual, and it transcended the unconventionality of their relationship to suggest the love that they had for each other.
