Malik Monk was drafted 11th overall by the Charlotte Hornets back in 2017. Since then, the guard has played for the LA Lakers and now the Sacramento Kings. Early into the 2024-25 season, while he has averaged 12.6 points in the 10 games, he suffered an injury in a game against the Suns. Early in the second quarter, he stepped on Mason Plumee’s foot, attempting to close out a corner shot. Monk went hobbling off the court and didn’t return. He will be out for a minimum of two weeks suffering a moderate right ankle sprain.

Now that we’re up to date about Malik Monk’s on-court status, let’s turn our focus to the hoopster’s life off the court, which has been somewhat of a mystery to his fans. The Sacramento guard has never really embraced the question in public. But reports suggest that he’s been involved in a romantic relationship with a special someone.

That someone is none other than Iggy Azalea. The two were spotted together, on a few occasions, but the fans had no idea, despite both of them being in the limelight in their respective fields. So, let’s dive into Malik Monk’s love life and get to know more about it.

Is Malik Monk dating singer Iggy Azalea? Sacramento Kings star’s love life revealed

According to most sources, yes, there is a strong sense of common belief that Iggy Azalea is the girlfriend of Sacramento star Malik Monk. Iggy is her stage name, and her real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly. Although she’s been dating Malik, Iggy has also been in a relationship with another NBA player earlier in life, Nick Young. The two of them had been dating since 2013 and even got engaged in 2015. However, in 2016, their relationship came to a halt after a big controversy. The ex-Laker had cheated on her and bragged about it in a leaked video, which D’Angelo Russell reportedly leaked. D’Lo further went on to deny doing so but admitted to recording it.

Iggy also addressed this whole matter publicly, posting, “I broke up with Nick because I found out he had brought other women into our home while I was away and caught them on the security footage,” she wrote in a tweet.

Now, about her new boyfriend, Malik Monk, there’s no specific timeline available, as to when they started dating. However, rumors of them started when the hoopster was in LA playing for the Lakers in 2022. That’s because Monk and Iggy were spotted together with fellow Laker Anthony Davis and his wife Marlen Polanco Davis on a double date, at Giorgio Baldi, an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica.

Further, Monk and Iggy do not have kids together, but the viral music artist (single parent) does have a son named Onyx from her previous relationship with Playboi Carti.

What does Iggy Azalea do for a living? Did she date NFL star DeAndre Hopkins? 

Iggy Azalea is an Australian rapper, songwriter, and model. Well-known for her 3 albums, 5 EPs, and singles, the 34-year-old has won many accolades including 2 AMAs, 3 Billboard Music Awards, and 4 Teen Choice Awards. She’s also received 7 Grammy nominations.

Now, speaking about her dating DeAndre Hopkins, the two had a brief affair that kick-started in 2018, and it looked like both were having a good time; the match looked like it was made in heaven! The excitement was everywhere when Iggy Azalea was on a Miami radio show, and confirmed their relationship. But, it was short-lived, as just a day later, she tweeted, “I have come to the conclusion I am going to be alone forever… it’s nice.” Whereas Hopkins simply wrote on X, “SINGLE!!” with a sort of “who cares?” vibe.
