Steve Nash is one of the most recognizable NBA players from the 2000s era of basketball. These days, he stands as an inspiration to several guards who aspire to become elite athletes in the near future. Nash had the skill to shoot consistently and always pulled off impressive plays with his quick-witted passing abilities.
He was quite the sight for sore eyes but his career came to an end in 2014. The former Phoenix Suns point guard played with a couple of legends such as Amar’e Stoudemire, Kobe Bryant, and Dirk Nowitzki. He managed to win consecutive league MVP in the years 2005 and 2006.
After retiring, Nash didn’t have much to do with the NBA until 2020 when he was hired as the Brooklyn Nets’ head coach. But after spending little under two seasons with the Nets, Nash was released due to issues that conspired between players of the team at the time.
Since then, Steve Nash hasn’t been involved with the NBA as much. He often makes appearances at various sporting events with his most recent being at the Laver Cup in September 2023. Nash was seated alongside Nowitzki and tennis legend Roger Federer.
While he is widely recognized for his work in the NBA, Nash was previously linked to a controversy involving his ex-wife Alejandra Amarilla, and ex-teammate, Jason Richardson.
Did Alejandra Amarilla cheat on Steve Nash?
In 2001, Steve Nash and Alejandra Amarilla began dating, and their love story went on for years. After a while of dating, Nash announced that Amarilla was pregnant. They welcomed twin daughters named Lola and Bella. Shortly after they had their first set of children, the couple decided that they wanted to tie the knot. However, this beautiful love story ended very tragically a decade after it started. The couple began having problems around the year 2010.
It was during their rough patch when Nash and Amarilla announced that they were going to have their third child. But it was following the birth of Matteo when Nash decided to pull the plug on their marriage. Several rumors claimed that Matteo was conceived as a black child.
This immediately sparked controversy claiming Amarilla had cheated on Nash. But they were separated for quite some time before Matteo’s birth. Nash maintained peace as he was concerned about their daughters’ well being.

After Matteo’s birth, fans tried to connect some dots and landed on what they suspected to be a cheating scandal involving Richardson. Based on the information that claimed Matteo was black and how Richardson was traded from the Suns around that time, fans believed that Amarilla had an affair with him.
But there is no solid proof of whether any of it was true. Steve Nash and Matteo have a great relationship, and it doesn’t seem like the boy has an African-American genes.
