Michael Porter Jr. has had a very interesting career, to say the least. The young star came into the league as a highly touted prospect due to him being a 6 foot 10 inch small forward that could finish at the rim with ease and was an above-average shooter from everywhere on the court. Unfortunately, the young forward’s career has been riddled with back injuries to the point where he has sat out more games than he has played in the NBA.
However, with the transpiration of recent events, i.e. the Denver Nuggets making the NBA finals, Porter Jr.’s career may be taking a turn for the better. The 23-year-old has been a consistent contributor on a Nuggets team filled with talented players.
He has been showing the critics the reason he was taken with the fourteenth overall pick back in 2018. He’s kept his personal life under wraps so far but it is known that Porter Jr. is single at the minute with his focus only on winning a championship.

Prewett and Porter Jr. met and got together in 2016. This relationship lasted for one year and the couple broke up in 2017. After this, they reconciled and got back together in 2020. In October it was confirmed that the two were dating due to a series of photos posted by Porter Jr.’s sister.
In one image, the couple admired each other while standing beside Bri Porter (Michael’s sister) and her husband. Another photo showed the group standing together as Prewett and Porter Jr. held hands.
Bri’s post was captioned “My fav double date” to which Prewett replied “Love you” in the comments section. Interestingly Prewett was not a stranger to the world of basketball even before meeting Porter Jr. as her father is the men’s basketball head coach at Auburn University in her hometown of Auburn, Alabama. Prewett also graduated from the same university.
Sadly in April of 2021, Prewett announced that she had ended her relationship via a YouTube video. However, on October 29th of 2022, Madison Prewett married the son of billionaire Kenny Troutt, Grant Troutt.
The couple are now happily married and Prewett has not acted in projects for quite a while. As for Porter Jr. as mentioned before he remains single with his eyes on the prize. Porter Jr. does lead quite a secluded life from the media so his relationship status could be in question just without public knowledge.
