After what can be described as an average season, the Los Angeles Clippers have made the 2021-22 play-in tournament. However, the road won’t get any easier from now on, as a challenging tussle against the Timberwolves awaits. One of the main absentees for LA this year has been veteran Paul George. Now a 31-year-old committed man, do you know the story behind George’s love interest?

Having missed the majority of the season due to injury, Paul George featured in merely 31 outings. Even in those games, he managed to make a difference for his side, and averaged over 24 points per game. A 7-time All-Star, George has donned the #13 for several years now, and excelled as a guard-forward. On the other hand, you may now know how interesting his off-court life is.

The incredible story of Paul George meeting his girlfriend Daniela Rajic

The lesser known fact is, Paul’s current girlfriend was once an exotic dancer and stripper. At the age of 18, she began working in numerous night clubs of Florida. Interestingly, this is where the pair first met one another.

At a nightclub named ‘Tootsies’, George met Daniela. And the rest, as they say, is history. Their relationship only grew and eventually reached the stage of falling in love. However, things didn’t always go according to plan, and there were several hurdles along the way.

When PG first ran into Daniela, he was, in fact, dating another woman in Callie Rivers. Later, Rivers found out about the duo’s alleged relationship, and reportedly broke up with the NBA mainstay immediately.

According to various rumors, the Clippers star began dating Daniela, and even offered her $1 million to abort a child. Back in 2013, the now girlfriend of Paul even gave up dancing, in order to focus on her relationship. Sure, it has been a roller-coaster ride for them; however, the couple is now happy together and with two children too.
