Rudy Gobert is speaking out after multiple outlets reported that the NBA player allegedly asked his pregnant girlfriend Julia Bonia to move out with her 1 year old son at the start of the NBA playoffs.
Rudy is now breaking his silence, writing to his Instagram story on May 16th, “A lot of inaccurate information out there. Julia and I are currently in the painful process of redefining our co-parenting relationship. Being a father is one of the most profound and meaningful experiences I will get to live. It is one of the most important life purposes and will be so forever.” He continues, “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.”
Rudy’s message comes hours after Julia addressed the situation in a now-deleted social media post, reading, “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.” She continues, “Despite how I have been treated, I chose to protect his name for the sake of my children.” And while they have not shared the reason for the breakup, Julia adds, “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.”
