Lately, Dwight Howard has been everywhere—on the court, in headlines, and all over social media. Fresh off becoming the 13th inductee into the Orlando Magic Hall of Fame and securing his spot as a first-ballot Hall of Famer, he’s also set to hit the Big 3 hardwood. But that’s not all. Just as fans were celebrating his Hall of Fame news in December, Dwight dropped a surprise on Instagram: he and Amy Luciani are officially a couple.

Two cozy photos and a caption with an infinity symbol sealed the deal: “Happy #BlackLove #PrayedForThis.” It looked like Dwight was winning on and off the court. Meanwhile, things only got more interesting when Amy shared a clip that had fans buzzing. In the video, Dwight is eyeing what appears to be an engagement ring on her finger—cue the speculation. From Instagram stories to comments,fans braced for a wedding announcement.

But now, there’s a twist. Rumors are swirling that the couple might be heading toward a split. Adding fuel to the fire, Unwine with Tasha K recently posted, “We can exclusively confirm that #AmyLuciano and #DwightHoward have ended their relationship…. The engagement is officially off, and the split happened shortly after Valentine’s Day.” And honestly? Fans started noticing the signs, too. Amy didn’t react on Dwight’s Hall of Fame moment, and their usual joint appearances have slowed down ever since Valentine’s Day.

Yet Dwight’s Valentine’s Day post added fuel to the confusion. He shared a dancing video with Amy, saying, “When you no longer have to look for a valentine because you’re married.” But beyond that? Silence. Neither Dwight nor Amy has made any official statement. So, let’s look at their engagement.

Dwight Howard’s engagement announcement with Amy Luciani

On December 20, Dwight Howard and rapper Amy Luciani dropped a full-on engagement announcement on Instagram. The 39-year-old NBA champ and the 34-year-old Love & Hip Hop Atlanta alum shared a carousel of pics and videos, but it was the clip of Dwight holding Amy’s hand—with a sparkly diamond ring front and center—that had everyone talking.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Dwight Howard's Hall of Fame moment overshadowed by his relationship drama with Amy Luciani?

Have an interesting take?

Not long after, fans zoomed in even closer. Dwight, grinning from ear to ear, gently touched the ring on Amy’s finger, and yep, it looked like a square-cut diamond surrounded by smaller stones. But then, things got more curious—fans spotted a large diamond ring on Dwight’s finger, too. Coincidence? Matching bling? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, it added to the buzz.

Meanwhile, Amy went full soft-launch-turned-official with sweet videos of the two dancing, goofing around, and celebrating Dwight’s birthday. “I was enjoying you so much out of the public eye but here we are,” she wrote. That caption had heart. “Anything I say or fuss about, first thing you say is ‘Did you pray about it?’” she added.

To top it off, she confessed, “I prayed reallllll deep on a Thursday not knowing 2 days later God would send me a Bible totin, tattood giant.” Dwight didn’t say much but dropped a red heart, lock and key, and infinity emoji. That pretty much says it all—for now.
