Steve Nash was an inspiration to many young point guards of today’s game. He was the 15th pick of the 1996 NBA Draft selected by the Phoenix Suns. He only played two seasons with the franchise before joining the Dallas Mavericks. Eventually, he returned to the Suns and dominated the point guard position, and led the league in several aspects of the game. Even today, Nash is revered as one of the best shooters and facilitators of the game.
The former NBA star was named league MVP in 2005 and 2006, won a Ring of Honor from the Suns, led the league in assists four times and earned multiple All-Star as well as All-NBA selections. Despite having an impressive resume, Nash never won an NBA title making him one of the greatest in that category. However, Nash eventually retired in 2015. He wasn’t as good while he was a coach and things weren’t good in his off-court life midway through his career.
The former MVP met Alejandra Amarilla in 2001. They dearly loved each other as well, eventually tying the knot in 2005. Nash was thriving in the NBA and was on pace to win the league MVP award. The couple welcomed twin daughters in 2004, a year before getting married. But nearly a decade later, Steve would file for divorce from Amarilla after welcoming a third baby. The story behind it is quite shocking as well.
Alejandra Amarilla was suspected to have had an affair with Steve Nash’s ex-teammate
In 2010, Steve Nash and his ex-wife were about to welcome their third child. To everyone’s surprise, the baby was born black, which raised a lot of questions. The first thing to come to mind is that the child wasn’t Nash’s after all. Amarilla was unfaithful to the NBA athlete. He once revealed that they were separated for a while as well but only maintained their relationship for the sake of their children.

In 2011, Nash and Amarilla finalized their divorce. On learning about the incident, fans began to speculate that Steve’s ex-wife had an affair with one of his teammates. Nash was teammates with Jason Richardson at that time, another NBA legend. However, during the time of the child’s birth, Richardson was suddenly traded to the Orlando Magic. That was the last season Nash was himself on the court.

The next season, Steve Nash was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. LA was looking forward to getting back into title contention but the addition of Steve did not make much of a difference either. Nash is currently with a woman named Lilla Fredrick. He decided to propose to her in 2015 and eventually got married to Lilla.
