How long have Keonna Green and Nick Young been together?

Young and Green were high school sweethearts and have had an on-again-off-again relationship since then. Their first child, a son, was born in 2012. In 2013, she found out online that he was dating rapper Iggy Azalea. Young was briefly engaged to Azalea. He and Green later reconnected in 2015. Green got pregnant and then Young would go on to end things with Azalea. Their daughter was born in 2016.

A third child, another son, was born in 2019. Green and Young remained on-again-off-again for the next several years, with Young even tweeting in September recently that he and Green would just co-parent despite being in love.

The tweet was subsequently deleted and Young and Green seemed to remain together.

Keonna Green was on ‘Basketball Wives’

Green was a supporting cast member on VH1’s reality television series, Basketball Wives, for its fourth season. The season aired in 2017.

As reported by the network, Green sought to join the series to get advice from her friend and the show’s executive producer, Shaunie O’Neal, on how to “handle her very public makeup and break up with her famous ex and let the world know the person behind the gossip mags.”

Green owns a hair salon in Los Angeles.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
