NBA stars do not hide their WAGs, but there will always be exceptions. One such special case is the New Orleans Pelicans power forward Zion Williamson, whose relationship status was revealed with the baby announcement. The 24-year-old NBA star is dating content creator Ahkeema, and the couple has a daughter.
But that’s not it. Who is Ahkeema? What does she do for a living? All such questions will be answered in this article. Keep reading to learn more about Zion Williamson’s baby mama, Ahkeema.
Who is Zion Williamson?
Zion Williamson is a 6’6” power forward who was the first overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft among Ja Morant, RJ Barrett, PJ Washington, and Tyler Herro. The New Orleans Pelicans picked the first 2000-born NBA player. Ahead of his arrival in the NBA, he was considered another legendary prospect since LeBron James. However, injuries played a spoiled sport in his career.
Zion had a torn meniscus in his rookie year and missed the first 44 games. In September 2021, he underwent surgery to fix a fifth metatarsal fracture. The recovery took a lot of time, leading Zion to miss the 2021-22 season. After starting 29 of the Pelicans’ first 37 games in the next season, he had a hamstring injury that ended his season.
With 2 NBA All-Star appearances, Zion returned strong in the 2023-24 season, which was his best NBA season, according to matches played. He appeared in 70 out of 82 matches for the Pelicans in the 2023-24 regular season. With an average of 22.9 points per game, Zion led the Pelicans in scoring last season and stood second in average rebounds and steals.
