Gary Harris
Gary Harris, the NBA player you know as a shooting guard for the Denver Nuggets is apparently keeping his girlfriend in the dark.
While most famous athletes enjoy flaunting their women on social media, it seems is not the case for the Indiana native, who has kept his romantic relationship very secretive.
Though the identity of Gary’s girlfriend is not clear, is safe to say he is most definitely in a relationship with a special lady. This may come as a shock since Harris who has been in the league for seven years, has never been spotted with or rumored to be dating anyone.
However, he and his mystery woman recently became parents and Harris took to Instagram to share the happy news. The 26-year-old new daddy wrote about the birth of his first child
‘Hendrix Haize, we are only 4 months in and you are the best thing to ever happen to me. I Love you son. S/o to all the Fathers out there today’
