Claiming she never married Gilbert Arenas, Laura Govan reveals one manipulation tactic still working on her – EssentiallySports

It’s time for Gilbert Arenas’ ex-girlfriend to share her story. After his engagement to Mellie Monaco, the former NBA player has been in the headlines for various reasons. His admission of exchanging a real diamond ring for a fake ring for his ex-girlfriend is one of them. Finally, the mother of his four children shared her side of the story. Along with revealing the truth about their relationship, Laura Govan revealed another manipulative tactic Arenas used against her.

In an interview with Carlos King, Govan shared that her relationship with Arenas deteriorated over time as he used their children to manipulate her. She says she works because she puts her children above everything else.

“Because now he is using the children. Because now he knows how to manipulate it because he can’t directly bother me, so he knows how much I love my kids, but here’s the thing, he also knows that I love my kids more than I hate him, so he attacks motherhood on the other hand, he just did a lot. He has done a lot. He is the devil at work and I fight him every day. she said.

During the interview, the host initially referred to Arenas as her ex-husband before correcting it to her ex-boyfriend. This prompted Govan to come clean about the truth about their relationship. Were they ever married?

Although many assumed they were married, they never legally tied the knot. Despite being together for nearly a decade, Arenas has repeatedly clarified that he never married, considering it a waste of money. Even on the podcast she said, “Let’s get this straight, we were never married, were we? I used to miss this because we were legally married because it was 10E blah blah blah blah because we were together so long…”

But now Arenas has found the love of his life. He is engaged to YouTuber Melli Monaco.

Did Gilbert Arenas Give His Fiancee A Real Diamond Ring?

The Golden State Warriors the legend seems to share a great bond with his children, Alijah, Aloni, Izela and Hamiley. The children were seen having fun with their father and his fiance Mellie Monaco, who shared photos on her Instagram.

Monaco also previously posted a photo of her engagement ring from Arenas, along with a heartfelt message that read “yes.” However, many commentators have criticized, speculating whether the ring is real. In the past, Arenas admitted to swapping his ex-girlfriend’s $400,000 engagement ring for a fake one worth just $10. This made her sue him after she found out the truth. However, this incident is unrelated to his current relationship.

Monaco did not take the criticism lightly. Standing next to her fiancé, she stated that she would have accepted the proposal even if the ring was fake. “Real ring fake ring, I don’t care. it’s just a symbol. I’d say yes regardless Monaco wrote.

She even returned his love by giving Arenas an engagement ring. The couple seems very much in love, and maybe Arenas’ opinion on marriage has changed.
