Gilbert Arenas and Melli Monaco have finally made their romance official. The former Golden States Warrior player turned podcast creator who shares four kids with a former lover recently posted wedding pictures that have since wowed fans.

Gilbert Arenas And Melli Monaco’s Dating History

While Arenas does his thing as a podcast creator, his plus one is a YouTube content creator and influencer. Apart from having a similar line of work, these two share a heartwarming love story. It all began after they met online, during Monaco’s YouTube live. What followed was a smooth relationship that blossomed into something beautiful.

In July 2024, after only a year of dating, the retired sports star was convinced he had found his Mrs. Right. Following a trip to Paris,  Arenas decided to seal the deal by asking Monaco to marry him. Not long after that, the YouTuber reciprocated the proposal by giving her fiancée an engagement ring. But rather than settle for a serene environment,  the influencer chose a club. More recently, the duo surprised fans with photos of a private wedding ceremony, suggesting it was a done deal.

Arenas Shares Wedding Photos Showing Monaco By His Side

Hours ago, the NBA star teased fans with a slide show of rare images. These photos spotlighted genuinely happy lovers who recently said their “I dos.”  The new Mr. and Mrs. couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear. But apart from their wide-eyed grins, the couple went out to enjoy their special day while dressed in striking outfits.

Arenas opted for the conventional two-piece suit but chose the color blue— as for Monaco, she felt beautiful in a non-conventional mini-wedding dress. Her white-colored below-the-knee dress did well to flatter her toned legs with feet that slipped easily into crisp white strappy heels. For the occasion, the bride flaunted her arm tattoo, opted for a natural makeup look, and added dainty jewelry pieces as adornment.

The camera’s lenses also captured goofy moments when they kissed and played lovingly. But more than anything else, the newlyweds notified fans of their non-conforming stance— their wedding rings did not look like the regular ones. While Arenas chose a white ring, his wife’s middle finger accommodated a simple, thin-lined gold ring. But what stole the show the most was the podcast creator’s declaration via a caption that read:

“I finally did it y’all @mellimonaco is officially Mrs Arenas.”

Many fans couldn’t hold their excitement as they congratulated the couple and wished them a happy time.

This is not the first time that Arenas has experienced love. A few years ago, he was with Laura Govan, his ex-fianceè. The former couple welcomed four kids: Alijah, Izela, Hamiley, and Aloni. However, things soon turned sour, and the couple never made it down the aisle as they called off their engagement.
