‘Basketball Wives’ Star Jennifer Williams and Her New Man Are Planning Their Wedding

The Gist:

• Jennifer Williams first met former NBA star Eric Williams in 2000.
• The two wed in 2007, and divorced in 2010.
• Since divorcing Eric, Jennifer has dated other men, including Cisco Rosado and Tim Norman.

Basketball Wives is filled with tons of drama surrounding romantic relationships. The show, now in its 11th season, is about women who are connected to professional NBA stars. To be a member of the Basketball Wives cast, you have to be a girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, wife, or ex-wife of a basketball player who’s been part of the NBA at one point in time.

Jennifer Williams, the ex-spouse of former basketball player Eric Williams, is one of the most interesting cast members to keep up with. She appears in the latest season, and thanks to the drama she (and the other women) naturally cooks up, fans are curious to know if she’s dating anyone at the moment. Here’s an update on her love life.

Jennifer didn't stay single long after her split from a man named Jelani. The Basketball Wives star is currently in a serious relationship with Christian Gold. Just how serious have things gotten? Well, Christian proposed to the reality TV star and she shared the gorgeous pear-shaped diamond ring he gave her via Instagram on Aug. 27, 2023.

While many have questioned the pair, some going as far as claiming she's "not into him," the portfolio and asset manager, who is 18 years younger than Jennifer, continues to defend the relationship.

According to Famous Birthdays, Jennifer was born on Sept. 17, 1974, which means she is turned 49 in 2023. Jennifer is able to be part of the Basketball Wives cast because she was once married to professional basketball player Eric Williams. They first crossed paths in 2000 while she was working her way up in the real estate business.

The real estate industry is known to be challenging as it comes with many highs and lows, but she was dominating in her field at the time. She and Eric tied the knot in 2007 and seemed to be going strong — until filing for divorce three years later.

Fortunately, they were able to part ways amicably without any drama. Jennifer walked away from the marriage with half of their shared property and moved on with her life. Eric has also moved on and is reportedly now a farmer (yes, you read that correctly!).

Then, in 2014, Jennifer became romantically linked to an actor named Cisco Risado. However, their relationship was short-lived.

Her most prominent relationship since her divorce has to be Sweetie Pies star Tim Norman. Although she probably thought at the time he was her perfect match, she was completely wrong.

Jennifer and Norman dated for a little over a year until 2017 when she accused him of stalking and harassing her, per Atlanta Black Star. The following year, she went to court and requested a temporary restraining order against him be made permanent.

According to Cheat Sheet, if he were to have violated the restraining order by coming within 150 feet of her, he would have faced jail time. Jennifer talked about blocking him from her phone and social media pages in order to find peace once they were done.

Fortunately, it doesn't look like he'll be coming near her anytime soon. In June 2022, he plead guilty to his involvement in the 2016 murder of his nephew, Andre Montgomery Jr. And in March 2023, Tim was sentenced to life in federal prison.
