It Appears Dwight Howard, Te’a Cooper Have Broken Up

Dwight Howard and his wife Te’a Cooper have seemingly broken up. The NBA big man quietly tied the knot with fiancée Te’a Cooper after revealing their engagement back in 2019. Howard revealed he was married during an interview with the podcast The Rematch.

“I would definitely love to come back and play for the Lakers,” he said. “My wife plays for the Sparks, so it would be great for both of us to still be in the same city and play.”

When asked how married life is, Howard said Cooper has changed him for the better.

“You know what? I love it. I absolutely love it. It’s new for me. I never had a situation like that but I’m very happy,” he said. “It’s really just brought more peace, more happiness. Also, it just changed my life. When you have a really great woman behind you, on your side, it just seems to make everything better. So I’m very grateful for her and how she’s just been like my rock and my foundation.”

He said the couple have a great time together and try and push each other to be their best.

“We’re like twins. It’s just crazy. We definitely enjoy each other’s company,” he said. “She pushes me to be a greater person. I just push her to reach new heights. She’s doing such an amazing job. Just trying to be there for her in every way that I can.”

Now it appears the Love and Basketball couple may have hit a rough patch. The two are no longer following each other.
