7:34 p.m., Pacific Time — Rudy Gobert is now airing his side of the story, stating that “inaccurate information” is being sent about, although he does not provide any details.
Despite the fact that Gobert has confirmed that he is no longer in a relationship with Julia, he continues to retain his intention to “keep supporting the well-being of all the people that I care about.”
5:15 p.m., Pacific Time — Julia Bonilla has recently addressed the subject in a long statement on social media, in which she describes the whole incident as “one of the most painful times in my life.”
“I considered Rudy to be the love of my life,” Bonilla said only a few minutes ago. “Everything was left for him,” I said. “I poured my heart into our relationship and gave him a child during our time together.”
“Despite how I have been treated, I choose to protect his name for the sake of my children,” according to her statement.
In addition, Bonilla said that she had “NEVER EVER been unfaithful to the father of my children,” fiercely rejecting that adultery played a factor in the end of their relationship.
According to information obtained by TMZ Sports, Rudy Gobert ended his relationship with his pregnant girlfriend around the time when the NBA playoffs were about to begin. He also instructed her to move out of his house and take their kid, who was one at the time.
According to sources who are connected to the wives and girlfriends of Timberwolves players, the breakup came as a bit of a surprise to us. This is especially true when take into consideration the fact that Julia Bonilla and Romeo were seen attending Minnesota’s last regular season game on April 13.
In point of fact, Gobert, who is 32 years old, walked over to them after the game to give them a loving hug, so overall, it seemed as if everything was absolutely normal with the family.
However, we have been informed that things changed some time after Bonilla disclosed that she was expecting their second kid, and Gobert is now a guy who is not in a relationship with anybody.
According to our sources, Bonilla had the intention of moving back to France, where she was born and raised, after the breakup. However, the four-time Defensive Player of the Year wants both her and Romeo to remain in the United States so that they may discuss child custody when the Wolves’ season is over.
We are informed that Gobert has retained legal counsel, and that his representatives have exerted pressure to guarantee that she remains in Minnesota.
We had a conversation with Gobert in March of 2024, which was only a few months before the birth of his first kid. During that conversation, he expressed that the arrival of a child into the world was a “blessing” for him.
Bonilla was vocal in her support of the French hooper, who is 32 years old, and she supported him when his colleagues named him the most overrated player in the league. This was something that we had previously covered.
Gobert and the Minnesota Timberwolves are now in the midst of a playoff run, and the big man has been a significant contributor to the team’s series victories over the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors.
We have attempted to get a response from Gobert’s side, and his agent, Bouna Ndiaye, has informed us that his organization has absolutely no interest in ever communicating with TMZ Sports about any of its clients.
