Byron Scott is back on top of the world.
After 29 years of marriage, the former Los Angeles Lakers head coach filed for divorce in 2014 and started dating former basketball wives star, Aesthetic & Surgical nurse, Cecilia Gutierrez.
Fast forward to September 2019 and Scott is now engaged and getting ready to be married once again.
Back in November 2018, Scott finally finalized his divorce and it cost him dearly as he had to fork over a bunch of cash, cars, and property.
The Blast explains:
“NBA legend Byron Scott has reached a settlement in his nasty divorce, which will leave him paying his ex-wife $7,000 a month in support but he gets to keep his seven movie posters signed by Denzel Washington.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Byron and his ex-wife, Anita Scott, reached a deal that covers all issues left in their never-ending divorce.
Per the deal, Byron will pay his ex $7k in spousal support, plus she will be paid $2.4 million from various bank accounts. Anita also keeps their Culver City home, while Byron is awarded both the Playa Vista condo and his new Hermosa Beach mansion. They will sell their timeshare and split the profits.
Anita gets to keep a 2007 Mercedes SL600 and Byron will get the 2012 Mercedes S-Class. He will pay his ex a property settlement of $558,000.
Byron made sure the settlement had a provision that clearly stated he keeps 2-3 gold pictures/paintings, 5-7 movie posters signed by Denzel Washington (gifted to Byron from Anita for his birthdays). She will pick up the Yamaha player piano, but he will keep their private jet credits.”

Paying $7K a month in spousal support is a far cry from the $60K his ex was demanding months before the divorce was finally settled.
