NBA star Rudy Gobert, girlfriend split before major playoff series
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert and his reportedly pregnant girlfriend Julia Bonilla split up before the team's Western Conference Finals appearance. Gobert and Bonilla already have a child together and she was seen at a Timberwolves game back on April 13, TMZ Sports reported Friday. But a source close to the players' wives and girlfriends told the outlet that despite their closeness, things apparently changed once she revealed that she was pregnant. Bonilla sought to move back to France after the break-up, but Gobert wants her and their child to stay in the U.S. in hopes of finding an amicable co-parenting situation once Minnesota's season ends, TMZ Sports reported. Bonilla and Gobert both released statements as the report of the breakup dropped. "I'm going through one of the most painful times in my life, feeling isolated, far from my family and friends," Bonilla wrote on her Instagram Stories before deleting her account. "I considered Rudy the love of my life. I left everything for him. I gave him a child and poured my heart into our relationship. "When everyone, criticized and insulted him, I stood by him, always putting him first and choosing him, always. Despite how I have been treated, I choose to protect his name for the sake of my children. I have NEVER EVER been unfaithful to the father of my children. "I am a mom and I must prioritize my health and well-being. Thank you for respecting my privacy during this challenging time." Gobert responded to what he called "inaccurate information." "Julia and I are currently in the painful process of redefining our co-parenting relationship," he wrote on Instagram. "Being a father is one of the most profound and meaningful experience I will get to live. It is one of my most important life purposes and will be so forever. "I'm fully committed to keep supporting the well-being of all the people that I care about. I'm asking everyone to please refrain from speculating and to respect our privacy in these difficult times." Gobert helped the T'Wolves to the conference finals. The team awaits the winner of the series between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Shocking details of NBA star Rudy Gobert's bitter split with his pregnant girlfriend emerge amid playoff run
Minnesota Timberwolves star Rudy Gobert dumped his pregnant girlfriend and kicked her and their one-year-old son out of his home last month, according to a bombshell report. Gobert, 32, was seen embracing Julia Bonilla and young child Romeo after the Timberwolves' final regular-season game against the Utah Jazz on April 13. However, TMZ Sports claims the 7ft 1in French center broke up with his partner right at the start of the NBA playoffs, which began for Minnesota against the Los Angeles Lakers on April 19. It is believed Rudy told Julia, who is currently pregnant with the couple's second child, to leave his home for good and take Romeo with her. After news of their shocking break-up surfaced, Julia took to Instagram to give her side of the story before later switching her account to private. Bonilla, who is also from France, wrote on her story: 'I'm going through one of the most painful times in my life, feeling isolated, far from my family and friends. 'I considered Rudy the love of my life. I left everything for him. I gave him a child and poured my heart into our relationship. 'When everyone criticized him and insulted him, I stood by him, always putting him first and choosing him, always. 'Despite how I have been treated, I choose to protect his name for the sake of my children. 'I am a mom and I must prioritize my health and well-being. Thank you for respecting my privacy during this challenging time.' has reached out to Gobert's management for comment. Rudy and Julia first went public with their relationship back in February 2024, though it is unclear when they started dating. The couple welcomed Romeo during Minnesota's playoff series against the Denver Nuggets in May of last year, before Julia recently fell pregnant with their second baby. TMZ claims she is hoping to move back home to France following the split. According to her blog, the mother of Gobert's kids is from Paris. Yet it is believed the four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and three-time All-Star wants her and Romeo to remain in the US until they decide who will maintain custody of their son. He has reportedly already lawyered up, with his representatives applying pressure to ensure Julia stays in Minnesota. Back in April 2024, when Rudy was voted 'most overrated' by his fellow NBA players, Julia leapt to her boyfriend's defense. 'My partner is the most dedicated, focused, hard-working person I have ever met,' she wrote in an Instagram post. 'He hasn't stolen anything from anyone and deserves all the respect for his determination and commitment to his career.' Gobert, who started his basketball career in France with Cholet, was drafted by the Nuggets in 2013 before being traded to the Utah Jazz, where he remained for 10 seasons before heading to the Timberwolves in 2022.
