D'Angelo Russell, a renowned basketball player, has certainly made waves both on and off the court. Despite not always meeting the high expectations set for him in the NBA, Russell has been fortunate in love. The athlete is in a committed relationship with Laura Ivaniukas, a former model from Canada. The couple shares two children but isn't married yet.

Laura Ivaniukas, born in 1999, comes from a family of Lithuanian descent. Standing tall at 5'10", she pursued a career in modeling and even appeared in Sports Illustrated. Yet, it's her passion for fitness that made her a household name. She partnered with fitness expert Bryan Chang to create workout challenges and launch a podcast called "Project Y. "

The exact timeline of their relationship isn't clear, but many believe they started dating around 2020. Interestingly, this was during Russell's recovery from an injury. Perhaps this challenging period brought them closer. Laura's initial impression of D'Angelo wasn't serious, which is understandable given their first meeting was at a fashion show.

The couple welcomed their first child, Riley Jonas Russell, in 2022. Since then, they've shared numerous sweet family moments on social media. Two years later, they welcomed their second child, Mila-Rose Russell. This pregnancy was tougher on Laura, who admitted to feeling more exhausted compared to her first pregnancy.

Laura's net worth is estimated between $150, 000 and $200, 000, largely earned through social media platforms and brand collaborations. D'Angelo Russell's perspective on parenthood has also shifted drastically. He shared that his son Riley has filled their lives with a love so profound, teaching them patience and resilience.
