In January 2020, a drunk driver’s reckless actions led to a severe car accident that altered Chandler Parsons’ life forever. Back in 2020, Chandler Parsons suffered a concussion, a torn labrum, and multiple injuries that ultimately forced him to step away from basketball. Parsons’ NBA career came to an unexpected halt after a devastating accident, but he soon found a new purpose- committing to family life with his longtime partner, Haylee Harrison.

A few years later, Parsons fully embraced his new life. “I can’t believe I get to marry my best friend,” Haylee gushed on Instagram ahead of their wedding. In 2022, she proudly stood beside him at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and just a week later, they tied the knot.

They celebrated another beautiful chapter in their love story with the birth of their daughter, Rocket Rose, who is set to turn one on October 30. Now, the couple enjoys their peaceful life in Malibu, surrounded by famous neighbors like Will Smith and Jean-Claude Van Damme.

However, a recent lighthearted exchange suggests that Parsons’ blissful marriage isn’t without its comedic moments. Live on air, Tony Allen couldn’t resist diving into Parsons’ ‘rizz-filled’ NBA days, stirring up some playful controversy.

A clip from Run It Back captured Allen saying, “Oh man, one thing about Chandler man, and I don’t know your status now Chandler… but I ain’t gonna lie, he kept some some nice in the front row so back then, he kept some…” Before Allen could finish, Parsons quickly jumped in.

“Come on, for Christ’s sake, I’m married,” Parsons shot back, clearly trying to shut things down.

But Allen wasn’t ready to let go just yet. “I don’t know now, but I mean we played. It was funny what Chandler had in the front row, man,” he added with a laugh. Lou Williams, also on the show, couldn’t resist chiming in either. “I’m proud of you,” he joked, making the moment even more unforgettable.

Chandler Parsons’ “rizz” history

Once a key piece for teams like the Rockets and Mavericks, Parsons was as well-known for his smooth jumper as he was for his high-profile romances. From Hollywood stars to top models, his dating history reads like a celebrity guest list. Parsons reportedly engaged in nine celebrity relationships before settling down (3 rumored).

His dating history includes everything from whirlwind flings to more serious romances. He was with Robyn Crowley from 2011 to 2013 before briefly dating Filipino actress KC Concepcion – for just nine days.

And the list doesn’t stop there. Singer Christina Perri and Parsons were an item from September 2014 to February 2015. Later, he dated model Cassie Amato between 2018 and 2019. Rumors also swirled about his connections with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. actress Chloe Bennet and reality star Savannah Chrisley.

But the most talked-about names? Bella Thorne, known for her bold career choices, and German supermodel Toni Garrn, who was once linked to Leonardo DiCaprio. And, of course, there was Kendall Jenner – perhaps the most intriguing name on the list.

Who knew Tony Allen could be such a menace off the court, too? Parsons may have survived years of NBA competition, but even he couldn’t escape the relentless full-court press of his past. While his “rizz” days are long behind him, Allen made sure to remind the world that the former swingman once had a Hall-of-Fame-worthy front-row lineup. As for Parsons? He may be happily married now, but after this segment, he might need to pull off the greatest defensive play of his life.
