Just weeks before his blockbuster move to the Milwaukee Bucks, Damian Lillard experienced a major shift in his personal life. Citing “irreconcilable differences” leading to “the irremediable breakdown” of the marriage, the Bucks sharpshooter officially filed for divorce with his then-wife Kay’La Hanson. The 33-year-old has since spoken about missing quality time with his three children, all of those who he had with Hanson. Also, since splitting from the 3-year marriage, not a lot has been publicly said or reported about his private life. Well, that might be about to change!
Damian Lillard isn’t very active on social media. When the Milwaukee superstar is online, it is generally related to basketball or his teammates. However, this time, he surprisingly posted a picture of a woman named Tavia Scott on his Instagram story. Of course, many eyebrows have been raised. Is Dame back in dating waters? The questions pile in.
However, that’s nowhere near the case. Here’s some reasoning.

Other than being a threatening volume scorer, Lillard also has a special connection with music. Known as Dame Dolla, the veteran point guard can rap as well as anyone in the NBA. For many of his peers, he is the best NBA rapper. The Instagram story was likely intended to share his song ‘Giant’ which he released earlier. Tavia shared her story with the song he composed with Ty Dolla $ign and Jordin Sparks. So, from the looks of it, Dame posted her story to promote his music and appreciate the gesture.
It is something Damian Lillard does regularly to show his gratitude toward his fans, basketball or music. But is he dating someone in secret?
Is Damian Lillard secretly committed?
Dame had one of his most memorable All-Star weekends this season in his first year with the Milwaukee Bucks. He began it by winning the Three-Point Contest for the 2nd consecutive season. He followed the incredible achievement by outshining everyone in the All-Star game and earning the MVP honors. This invited attention, and it was given by Memphis native GloRilla.

The rapper was very forward with her pitch to Lillard, making some outrageous claims via her social media handles. She posted a picture with the NBA vet and penned, “Who n***a this is ? Cause I want him #GetEmGlo”. A few hours after the tweet went viral, GloRilla herself replied to it saying, “Whoever she is can’t whoop me so I really dgaf”.
Her talking about him didn’t stop there. When TMZ reached out to Lillard to comment on his rumored relationship with GloRilla he did not deny the popular question and instead left it open for discussion. “No comment, my brother,” he told the reporter.

A few months ago, Damian Lillard’s estranged wife Hanson took to her Instagram to embarrass the rapper, after she was arrested for DUI. The story read, “Free GloLillard” with the “#sisterwife” hashtag and shoulder-shrugging emoticon. To hit back at her, GloRilla sported a yellow Bucks jersey with ‘GloLillard’ on her back. As expected, it was a number 0 jersey too.
No concrete news has been reported about Damian Lillard and GloRilla being a couple.
