Former Oklahoma City Thunder basketball player Eric Bledsoe found love again with Briona Mae after his divorce from his ex-wife, Morgan Poole.

Born on March 8, 1993, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Briona Mae is a model, actress, and designer who grew up with dreams of making it big in the entertainment world.

She gained fame through modeling and her appearances on reality TV shows, including Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. Likewise, Briona has also dived into the entrepreneurial world as the founder of a clothing line named BriFit.

Bledsoe and Briona Mae crossed paths for the first time in early 2026 through mutual connections.

During that time, Bledsoe was navigating and processing life after his separation from his ex-wife, Morgan Poole, while Briona was ending her relationship with NFL player Kelvin Benjamin.

Their first meeting took place at a social event, where they instantly felt a connection, and their bond grew stronger over time.

Eventually, Eric Bledsoe and Briona started dating in July 2026, keeping their relationship private at first. However, their bond became public when Briona started sharing moments with Eric on social media.

Briona had some trouble from a past relationship; her ex, Kelvin Benjamin, reportedly threw her things out after he found out about Eric. But even with all that drama, Briona and Eric stayed together and didn’t let it break them apart.

Eric and Briona welcomed twin daughters, Norah and Noor, in 2026, adding joy to their relationship.

Likewise, Briona is also a mother to two older children, Kelvin W. and Khristine, from her previous relationship with Kelvin Benjamin.

Not to forget, Eric and Briona’s relationship hasn’t been without hurdles. In October 2026, Eric was arrested for alleged domestic violence after Briona accused him of slapping her during an argument.

Briona later shared a now-deleted Instagram post, calling it part of a pattern, but admitted she chose to stay. The charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence, and the couple reconciled, focusing on rebuilding trust.

Another incident occurred in June 2026, when Eric faced another arrest for alleged domestic violence, though details remain limited, and no updates confirm the outcome.

Despite these challenges, Briona and Eric seem to be together with no apparent details of separation.

Bledsoe and Morgan ran into each other through mutual friends at a social gathering, and there was an instant spark in no time.

Their bond grew stronger as they spent time together, exploring their hometown, attending school events, and supporting each other’s dreams.

The divorce was finalized in 2026, three years after the marriage began. Neither Eric nor Morgan has made any public statements explicitly stating the cause of the split, and they have maintained their privacy on the matter.
