Let me innnnn,” we’re talking about Adele’s hit, “Easy on Me,” but it also makes you wonder if that’s what Jimmy
Butler might have said to Jennifer Lopez when he allegedly slid into her DMs.
According to a viral tweet, the six-time NBA All-Star, Jimmy Butler, who was
recently in China for the Yao Foundation Charity Game, supposedly sent a DM to Jennifer Lopez, who’s fresh out of her
divorce from Ben Affleck. And the funniest part? JLo reportedly responded with, “Yhu got a ring?”
But here’s the thing: while this might sound fun and believable, it’s not true.
Yep, we’ve been fooled again! For those unfamiliar, here’s the scoop. The account
that posted the news about “Jimmy Butler taking his shot at ” is called NBA Centel, a parody
account that plays on the name NBA Central. They post funny, fake news about the NBA just for laughs
This parody might have taken off because Jimmy Butler has been linked to several high-profile women in the past, like
In mid-2023, after a few dinners and other outings together, the media
speculated that Shakira might be dating Butler after she attended a Miami Heat game to support him. Weeks went by
with rumors flying until Butler himself cleared the air in a Rolling Stone interview.
He shot down any idea of a romance, saying, “They just make things up because we are friends. Just because
people hang out doesn’t mean they are a couple.” He went on to praise Shakira, calling her “a great human being and incredibly talented,” and explained that
her kids are big fans of his team. So, does that mean they’re dating? Not according to Butler.
No intro needed here. The famous singer and actress was linked to Butler in the
fall of 2020 after they were spotted dining together in New York. Reports described their outings as casual dates,
and while neither of them confirmed the relationship, the rumors gained traction due to their celebrity status
Back in 2018, Jimmy Butler was rumored to be dating Australian rapper Iggy
Azalea after they were seen together at a restaurant in Los Angeles and a few
other places. Iggy had previously been in a relationship with another NBA player, Nick Young.
Despite the speculation, Iggy publicly denied the rumors, saying in an interview that they were just friends. After that, the story lost steam.
There’s no solid evidence to support the idea that they were ever a couple, but the rumors were fueled by media and fan
speculation. Whatever the truth may be, one thing is for sure: Jimmy Butler is a huge fan of Miley Cyrus.
Butler has not only excelled on the court but has also amassed an $80 million net
worth off it, supported by his partner, Kaitlin Nowak, who remains largely out of the public eye.
Not much is known about how they met, but a few details have surfaced. In 2020, they were seen together at Super Bowl
LIV to watch the Kansas City Chiefs’ 31-20 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. She’s also been a regular at Butler’s NBA games.
