Is Dwight Howard married? Looking at former Lakers star's personal life & more

Dwight Howard recently made headlines after being accused of sexual assault by a man named Stephen Harper. This has led to increased interest in the personal life of the three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

While not married, the eight-time NBA All-Star has five children with five different women. In 2010, he won a lawsuit against Royce Reed, the mother of his eldest child for violating court order by talking about him in the media.

In 2019, Te'a Cooper got engaged to Howard. They got secretly married a year later but their marriage ended in 2021. Fans suspected their separation when they unfollowed each other on social media. This was then confirmed by Cooper.

"No, I do not go out with him," Cooper said. "I’m not with him no more. Leave it alone. I don’t want to see y'all in my comments saying it no more. Don’t add me to nothing that have to do with him. It’s over with. It’s adios amigos."
