Monte Morris had an ambitious dream in Grade 4 of becoming an NBA star—he was once a quiet kid from Flint, Michigan, honing his skills on the playground. But his talent soon outgrew the courts of his hometown. Fast forward to today. He is an NBA guard with the Phoenix Suns. Now, as he gets some more minutes on-court, we see the development in his pro hoops journey. However, with much of his basketball life in the limelight already, we move into his less-talked-about off-court life- his personal life.
Is Monte Morris dating? A look into the Phoenix Suns’ star’s previous relationship with Amber Rose
Monte Morris’ romantic life is quiet, as in, there isn’t any information about who he is currently dating. But did you know his past relationship with Amber Rose had garnered all the attention? It all began in July 2018, when the two were seen together in photos where they seemed quite affectionate, walking hand-in-hand. These pictures, published by The Shade Room, sparked interest, but neither Morris nor Rose confirmed their relationship.

His past relationship with Rose stands out as his most public romance link, and despite the affection they showed in pictures, very little is known about their time together. After the photos surfaced, fans were curious about whether they were just friends or… But the duo never shared anything about each other on social media, which left fans with questions about the nature of their bond.

However, Rose was always in the media’s eye for her flourishing career in modeling and acting, and for her high-profile relationships. She was first seen in 2008 when she appeared in Kanye West’s music videos, eventually launching a successful modeling career. And as years passed by, she became a household name, from modeling to hosting TV shows, she gained a reputation as a cult figure.
She ended up dating Kanye West for two years before they split in 2010, a breakup marked by accusations of infidelity. Rose claimed that Ye cheated on her with his now-wife, Kim Kardashian. Shortly after, she began a relationship with rapper Wiz Khalifa, whom she married in 2013. Unfortunately, their marriage ended the following year because of irreconcilable differences, which led to a highly publicized divorce.
Monte Morris, on the other hand, has kept his personal life relatively private. Now, with no recent updates on his personal life, looks like he remains solely focused on his NBA career. However, his relationship with Amber Rose has become a chapter worth revisiting.
While it might not be a current affair, it certainly caught attention when it happened, especially given Rose’s celebrity status and past romantic history. It’s unclear whether they are still in contact, but it seems that Monte Morris is flying solo, letting his career take center stage. But wait, do you know Morris, West, and Khalifa weren’t the only rappers and hoopsters she’s reportedly dated?
Did Amber Rose date ‘21 Savage’ and former NBA player Terrance Ross?
When we say Amber Rose has had high-profile relationships, she did, and yes, she did date both rapper 21 Savage and former NBA player Terrence Ross. Her romance with former Magic forward, Terrence Ross, was brief but notable. They were linked from Feb to June 2016, with her calling him her “boo” in an appearance on ESPN’s His & Hers. However, their relationship ended quickly, and the reasons for the same remain unclear. Ross eventually reconciled with his wife, Matijana, and moved on from the brief fling with Rose.

Rose’s relationship with 21 Savage sparked more public attention because of their age gap. At the time, 21 Savage was in his early 20s, and Rose was in her early 30s. The nine-year difference caused a stir, but the couple continued their relationship. Yet, it was quite short-lived as they began dating in June 2017 and broke up in March 2018. A few weeks after the split, she revealed being affected.
In May, she opened up on Instagram about her feelings for him. She wrote, “I Love this man so much. I know the Internet portrays me to be some heartless person or they feel like I’m incapable of love, but I love him so hard.” Her words reflected her deep feelings and desire to work things out. Even after their split, Amber Rose seemed unable to let go.
In an emotional interview on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, Rose shared her struggles with the breakup. “To be in a relationship is difficult, to be famous and in a relationship is even more difficult and then you end up arguing about things that you usually wouldn’t argue about as a normal person,” she explained.

She went on, “I love him, I miss him, I think about him every day. I can’t say that I’m single because I still think about him every day. My heart is still with him. Hopefully, we can work it out, but if we can’t – the love is still there.”
Her feelings were raw and heartfelt, showing how difficult it was to move on.
