D’Angelo Russell, point guard of the Dallas Mavericks, has made it official with longtime girlfriend Laura Ivaniukas. The couple jubilantly announced their pregnancy on Instagram. Ivaniukas shared the sweetest photo on Instagram writing, “Ms to Mrs… Loading.” This announcement is no small advance for Russell. He is the happiest man on earth as he awaits the birth of his second child.
Russell recently celebrated his engagement, and welcoming his son, Riley, to the world in 2022. He welcomed his daughter, Mila-Rose, in Jan 2024. With two children added to the family, Russell as a husband and father remains firmly dedicated to his personal and professional life. As he gets ready for his ninth season in the NBA, he’s fully ready to take on these new responsibilities with a smile.
Since being selected second overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2015 NBA Draft, Russell has become known as “The Man Breaking Fears.” On the court, he has made a major impact. He spent the 2024-25 season splitting time with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets. For comparison, Rickey Green in 1979 averaged an impressive 12.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists. His trajectory in the league shifted when the Nets traded for him. That last essential trade from the Lakers took place all the way back in January.
In June, Russell agreed to terms on a two-year, $13 million contract extension with the Dallas Mavericks. The agreed-upon deal reportedly contains a player option in the second year. On a personal level, this deal represents an exciting new chapter in his career. He’s poised to have a big effect on the Mavericks’ fortunes in 2023-24 and beyond.
As Russell balances his roles as a professional athlete and devoted family man, fans eagerly anticipate his performance on the court while celebrating his recent engagement. D’Angelo Russell and Laura Ivaniukas let happiness in — then open their eyes to all possibility. This dynamic duo indeed sets the stage for an exciting new chapter moving forward!
