The Secret Life of Scottie Pippen's Ex-Fiancée: Yvette Deleone

Ever heard of Yvette Deleone? She once made headlines as the ex-fiancée of NBA legend Scottie Pippen. Their relationship was far from smooth, filled with drama and legal battles that hit the news in 2013. The spotlight found Yvette again when Scottie posted a picture with their daughter, Sierra Pippen, on Instagram. Sierra is the same daughter Scottie once reportedly took a paternity test for. Talk about a troubled past! Yvette's life is mostly a mystery. Born in the late 1970s, she's an African-American woman from the U. S. , likely in her 50s. Her exact age and birthdate are unknown. She might have finished school and college locally, but her career and education details are fuzzy. Some think she might have worked in fashion, but Yvette keeps her life private. She has a Twitter account with a few followers but isn't active on other social media platforms. Yvette and Scottie met in 1992 at one of his basketball events. Their relationship moved quickly—they got engaged and had a daughter, Sierra, in 1995. Things fell apart when Yvette accused Scottie of domestic violence three months after Sierra's birth. Scottie was arrested but released on bail. Yvette ended the engagement, and a paternity case followed, confirming Sierra as Scottie's daughter. He was ordered to pay $5, 000 a month in child support. Sierra's life also made headlines. She studied at the University of Iowa and was involved in some legal issues, like a fight with hotel guards while intoxicated and a public urination incident. In 2024, Scottie shared a family moment on Instagram featuring Sierra and her half-siblings. It seemed like a step toward healing their complicated history. However, Yvette's private nature means we might never hear her side of the story.
