Kiara Morrison and DeMar DeRozan Have Been Together For 15 Years

Just as Kiara was born and brought up in Compton, California, so did her partner DeMar DeRozan. Not only that, but they also studied at the same university. Although they lived and grew up in the same town, the duo didn’t get to meet until 2009 after a basketball game DeMar played with the USC Trojans team at the university.

Thanks to their passion for sports, Kiara and DeMar quickly got attracted to each other and discussed the game and the areas in which the team could have done better. Kiara’s insight and passion for the game swept DeMar off his feet. So, from there, they went on a couple of dates and, soon after, started a relationship. They dated for four years, and in 2013, the player proposed to her, and of course, she said yes to him.

DeMar DeRozan and Kiara Morrison are both raising their children together even though they are not formally yet married. From what is obvious, the couple equally loves their daughters and is protective of them. Just take a peek at Kiara’s Instagram page, and you will see lots of adorable photos of her daughters.

Sometime in 2017, tragedy struck the two love birds, and they broke up. Given how much the couple loved and flaunted each other publicly, many of DeMar’s fans were left surprised by the news and inquired to know the reason behind their breakup.

But neither Kiar nor DeRozan ever spoke about it to date. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Kiara Morrison stated that she would remain in a healthy relationship with the father of her children. However, in September 2018, people started seeing them together again. And the news of them being back together made rounds, which they later confirmed.

Since then, they are believed to have remained together. But, it is unclear if they had a secret wedding ceremony, as a few sources claim. There is nothing to prove this claim, as the couple has never said anything regarding marriage. Anyway, they are living happily together alongside their children in their residence in Tarzana, California, a home that cost over $3.5 million to purchase in 2014.

Kiara is a very supportive partner to DeMar. In July 2014, she followed him to the Philippines after he was chosen to represent the NBA. The mother of two is a fashion freak, and for someone who already has four kids, she is still able to maintain a toned and perfect body.
