The Mavs shooting guard Kyrie Irving has been making waves throughout his balling career. Beyond his incredible shooting and record-breaking achievements, one may call him a family man too. Back in 2022, he broke barriers by making his stepmother his agent, the first Black woman to hold such a position in NBA history.
But what about his children? Do they live in the All-Star’s Sioux heritage home?

Although Kyrie is mostly a private fella, he still is an NBA superstar with eyes and cameras on him. He has a large blended family with three children and a partner. His firstborn, Azurie Elizabeth, is eight years old. Her mother is Irving’s ex-girlfriend, Andrea Wilson. After their 2015 separation, Andrea reportedly holds primary custody and in case, that’s true then Azurie doesn’t reside with her old man.
In fact, in September 2015, as per TMZ, Andrea was reported stating that “Kyrie has had no participation. He is only seeking custody to look good for the press.” Although, he even allegedly sought a paternity test to prove that he’s the dad (not disprove like in most cases) so he could come through with child support. Looks like Andrea got reverse “Billie Jeaned” by Kyrie! With time and maturity, Kyrie has become a proud papa! He may not live with Azurie but she sure seems to be his number one, with her initials even displayed on his game shoes.

What about the rest of the Irving clan? Kyrie has been romantically involved with YouTuber, blogger, and Instagram model Marlene Golden Wilkerson since 2018. They reportedly got engaged in 2019. In June 2021, they welcomed their first son together, Kaire Irving, who you’ll often find cheering for his father during games.

Soon after the Kaire’s arrival in the world, Wilkerson had another good news to share. While Kyrie began the 2022-23 season with the Brooklyn Nets after opting into his $37 million player option, he also welcomed a third child, a baby boy whose name one cannot find on the internet. (Believe me, I tried!) Even though it’s a matter of time before the name surfaces, one hopes that Kyrie is able to hold on to the privacy of his family for as long as possible.
