LiAngelo Ball has not yet played a single game in the NBA since going undrafted in 2018. He has been trying to prove his skills and capabilities, however, everything seems to be in vain. Despite being the least celebrated Ball brother he has had his share of fame. Along with his failed dreams of making it to the league, his relationship with Nikki Mudarris has made it to the headlines.
Prior to the 2022-23 season, fans were thrilled as they were about to witness brothers LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball unite on the court. However, before the start of the season, the Charlotte Hornets waived off LiAngelo, this was LiAngelo’s third exhibit 10 NBA contract.

Even though LiAngelo’s professional career didn’t take off well, his personal life has had significant milestones during the same time. He met Mudarris at Runyon Canyon where they both came to walk their dogs. Their pet’s walk turned into something more meaningful as they exchanged numbers and their brewing love began.
Furthermore, their relationship timeline is relatively unknown as the two have kept their relationship wrapped in a blanket. Interestingly, Mudarris was the one to confess the love first and she humorously mentioned how she forced LiAngelo to tell her too. Additionally, on July 19, 2023, the couple welcomed their first child LaVelo Anthony Ball, and have been focused on him since then.
Nikki Mudarris is a former Hollywood actress
Undoubtedly, LiAngelo Ball‘s girlfriend Nikki Mudarris has had a more successful career than him. Notably, she is also 9 years older than LiAngelo and started her career at an early age. Mudarris started getting recognized for her work when she debuted in ‘Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood’. For the first two seasons, she was a supporting cast member, and from seasons three to five, fans saw her as the main member.
Furthermore, the former actress was seen in ‘Scared Famous’ which is a horror reality show on Vh1. This was not the only Vh1 show and specials that Mudarris appeared on. She made special appearances on numerous other shows including ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta’ and ‘Leave It to Stevie’. However, her actress came to an end when she took up the real estate profession.
Coming from a family of real estate, this transition for her was easy as she fell in love with the industry. Mudarris is determined to help her clients find their perfect dream home. She spoke about her career to Sheen Magazine and said, “I’ve been doing good with my real estate, so why not continue doing that? Less stress, traveling. I make good money doing it, so might as well continue doing what’s easy for me”.
Additionally, she owns a lingerie and loungewear brand named ‘Nude By Nikki‘ which was launched in 2015. The collection of her brand is remarkable with sizes up to 2X. She has also mentioned that she plans to launch a kid’s clothing line in the future. Mudarris and LiAngelo both seem to be working hard for their careers as well as growing their relationship and family.
