Teyana Taylor - Gone are the days where our favorite NBA stars were the only well-known members in their relationships. Today, their wives and significant others are just as notable than they are in celeb culture. So, we had to take score of our fave ladies and the ballers they love (or loved!).Teyana Taylor and Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Iman Shumpert were the "it" couple a few years back, and they're still loved today. The couple now have a beautiful baby and even tied the knot. We couldn't be happier for the lovely couple!(Photo: Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images For KCSports2015)

Ayesha Curry - It would appear these two have been together forever as they have the perfect fairytale relationship. Ayesha and Steph Curry went form high school sweethearts to husband and wife on July 30, 201,1 and from then, they've pretty much become the staple NBA couple. They have two daughters together, Riley and Ryan, and appear to be inseparable.

Gloria Govan - How many women can say that a basketball player and a coach fought over her? Well, Gloria Govan is one of the few who can as her soon-to-be-ex-husband Matt Barnes and former New York Knicks player and coach Derek Fisher duked it out for her love. It's safe to say she went with the latter.(Photo: Jonathan Leibson/Getty Images for Sports Spectacular)

Gabrielle Union - Union's relationship with Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade is one of the few that's stood the test of time. Six years after their first play, they got engaged and officially tied the knot in August 2014. Union's 8.5 carat sparkler is the ultimate championship ring.(Photo: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)

Kim Kardashian - She may be the most famous — and shortest-wedded — basketball wife of all time. The reality star's relationship with Kris Humphries was the stuff of tabloid dreams, and it nearly detonated her career. But Kim fast-tracked it to the Hall of Fame when she welcomed baby North with her now-husband Kanye West in 2013.(Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage)

Khloé Kardashian - While her sister's marriage to an NBA star was shorter than the post-lockout basketball season, Khloe K.'s marriage to former Dallas Mavericks forward Lamar Odom seemed like nothing short of a fairytale — for a while, anyway. Four years after their whirlwind wedding, Khloé and Lamar's marriage imploded amid allegations of infidelity and Odom's drug problem, which recently landed him in a coma. While Khloé's stood by his side during his treatment, their marriage failed to make it, as she eventually divorced Odom and went on to date two more NBA stars: James Harden and Tristan Thompson.(Photo: Denise Truscello/WireImages)

La La Anthony - She may be the first lady of the NBA, but don't call Mrs. Carmelo Anthony just another basketball wife. While her husband rules inside the line, this actress, businesswoman and mom is the star of her own full-court life. Unfortunately, it was announced in April 2017 that the two are reportedly on track to getting divorced.(Photo: Jemal Countess/Getty Images)

Adriana Lima - It must be good to be Marko Jaric. While he doesn't have any trophies to show for his NBA career, the Memphis Grizzlies player got the ultimate prize when he eloped with Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima on Valentine's Day 2009.

Eva Longoria - Not every love story has a happy ending. The Desperate Housewives star's marriage to San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker crumbled in 2010 after Parker admitted to infidelity, and Longoria claimed to be done with ballers for good.

Tyra Banks - The former model was so broken up over her split with baller Chris Webber, whom she dated for three years, that she dedicated an entire episode of her former talk show to "Professional Athletes and the Women Who Love Them." We prefer a pint of Ben & Jerry's and binge-watching Basketball Wives!(Photo: Robert Mora/Getty Images)

Vanessa Williams - Though the former Miss America divorced Lakers star Rick Fox in 2004, the former couple demonstrated extremely good sportsmanship thereafter. Fox even guest-starred as Williams's illicit boy toy while she starred in Ugly Betty. Guess some habits die hard? (Photo: Ron Galella/WireImage)

Ciara - Though they never officially confirmed their relationship, the Atlanta-born beauty and former New York Knicks' Amar'e Stoudemire looked like quite the handsome couple when they were snapped vacationing together in 2011. Clearly, this was either a short-lived fling or smoke and mirrors. Stoudemire has his own starting lineup now with wife Alexis Welch and their four kids, while Ciara is currently married to an athlete of another kind, NFL star Russell Wilson.

Amber Rose - While a man with a mic is definitely more her type than one with a ball, the hip-hop queen shook things up when she also briefly dated Amar'e Stoudemire in 2010 after her split from Kanye West. It didn't last very long — Rose was on the arm of Wiz Khalifa just a month later. While the couple is no longer married, they did have a baby boy together.(Photo: Jerritt Clark/Getty Images)

Keyshia Cole - First came baby, then came marriage for the R&B beauty and her former Cleveland Cavalier hubby, Daniel "Boobie" Gibson.

Madonna - The controversial pop star's dalliance with NBA bad boy turned "basketball diplomat" Dennis Rodman wasn't so much a relationship as a head-on collision resulting in — according to Rodman's autobiography — a frantic sex call in which Madonna demanded he help her have a baby. Thankfully, they were unsuccessful.(Photo: Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Madonna's MDNA SKIN; Chris Polk/FilmMagic)

Sarah Palin - OK, this one is pure gossip, but the thought of Republican queen Sarah Palin getting busy with ex-NBA star Glen Rice in the mid-nineties is too good to pass up. Is the rumor — which came from an unauthorized biography of Palin — total BS? Probably. Is it entertaining to think about? You betcha!(Photo: Ray Tamarra/Getty Images; Alexander Tamargo/Getty Images)
