NBA Star Dwight Howard Surprises By Engaging With Rapper In Unseen Videos

Dwight Howard is engaged to Amy Luciani

The surprise came late on December 20 when the couple finally went public with their relationship, announcing an engagement that suggested their romance had been quietly blossoming for a while. Amy shared a video on social media showing off their sparkling diamond rings, with Dwight admiring the bling as they celebrated at a nightclub. In his caption, the rapper explained that they kept their relationship private for a while, which made the reveal even more special.

“I enjoyed you so much out of the public eye, but here we are,” she wrote. “Thank you for bringing me back to the word. Anything I say or worry about, the first thing you say is “Have you prayed about it?” Then I realized I hadn’t prayed much lately.

In the video, Howard, who finished his stint in Taiwan’s professional basketball league in 2023, was seen wearing a diamond on his ring finger. The former three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year in a separate post captioned the photo with an infinity emoji, a red heart, and a lock and key emoji.
