Gilbert Arenas seems to have had a change of heart about marriage! Well, the winds of change started shifting since meeting Melli Monaco. Just a few months ago, the retired NBA player proposed to the French rapper, and the two officially announced their engagement as Monaco flaunted her diamond ring on social media. For their first Christmas after getting engaged, the rapper prepared a heartwarming special gift that saw the NBA player propose to her for the second time.

Monaco had prepared a scooter as a gift for Arenas. She captured the entire moment on her phone and shared it on social media. Arenas can be seen walking out of the house with Alijah behind him, and as soon as his eyes landed on the scooter, he was over the moon. After trying out the scooter, he happily walked toward his fiancée and hugged her, saying, “You tryna get married.”

Monaco has been big on pampering her fiancé. After Agent Zero proposed to her for the first time in Paris, she also gave Arenas an engagement ring to wear. The former Golden State Warriors player had the most hilarious reaction to it.

Monaco and Arenas are one of the cutest couples in the NBA world right now. While they have faced criticism from some, it hasn’t stopped Arenas from reconsidering marriage after his first ugly breakup with Laura Govan. Arenas never married Govan, but they were in a long-term relationship and had four children together, Alijah, Aloni, Izela, and Hamiley.

A brief history of Gilbert Arenas’ relationship with Laura Govan

The two officially separated in 2014, with Laura retaining custody of her children. However, their legal battles extended beyond custody issues. One incident involved Arenas replacing Govan’s engagement diamond ring. After a quarrel, he reportedly swapped the ring he had proposed with for a fake one.

From heartbreak to happiness: Can Gilbert Arenas' new engagement outshine his past with Laura Govan?

Have an interesting take?

Govan later sued the former Golden State Warriors player over this matter. In an interview with Vlad TV, Arenas admitted there was some truth to the claim and he had a reason for it. He even added that Govan had lost every lawsuit she filed against him. Other accusations from Arenas surfaced as well. Known for his fondness for sharks, Arenas maintained an aquarium at a great expense, which Govan reportedly disapproved of.

Tragically, the sharks died after “someone threw pennies into” the fish tank, with suspicions pointing toward Govan. In response to Govan’s claims that he spends a lot, Arenas replied, “I’d rather spend $5,000 on my fish than have a drinking problem.” However, these allegations remain unproven. Despite these challenges in his previous relationship, Arenas has found love again. And he hopes to get familiar with happily ever after now.
