Minnesota Timberwolves star D’Angelo Russell splashed around with girlfriend Laura Ivaniukas this week on Miami Beach.
The couple was spotted Thursday cuddled close while neck-deep within the waves, later hitting the shores to relax on their beach chairs.
Model Ivaniukas wore an eye-catching pink print bikini while the athlete wore simple black trunks. She also shared video of Russell going for a swim while she watched from shore.
The pair, who have been reportedly dating since at least June 2020, is just one week removed from their romantic trip to California’s Napa Valley, with Ivaniukas sharing several photos on Instagram of the couple’s time spent amongst the vineyards Sunday.
Russell, 25, also threw the blonde beauty a lavish 22nd birthday party in May.
The ball player is clearly enjoying his post-surgery time off the court, undergoing a arthroscopic knee surgery in February, followed by 4-6 weeks of recovery.
In 2016, Russell found mainstream notoriety after recording former Laker teammate Nick Young confessing his infidelity to then-fiancée, Iggy Azalea, which led to the “Fancy” rapper dumping Young.
The Lakers reportedly isolated Russell, who was a rookie at the time, in response to the incident, according to ESPN.
“This was a prank gone wrong and a mistake by [Russell] and he has to be held accountable, but I would hope he isn’t overly criticized for it,” a team source said at the time.
