Ime Udoka’s fiancé is stunning actress Nia Long! With the Celtics choosing to send their Head Coach Brad Stevens up the front office, it was only a matter of time before they selected their next head coach. Ime Udoka was Steve Nash’s assistant coach on the Brooklyn Nets, and now he’s the man in charge in Boston.

One little known fact about the former NBA Player and now Head Coach, he’s engaged to actress Nia Long.

Fun fact: Ime Udoka is married to actress Nia Long. #Celtics

Nia Long becoming the First Lady of the Boston Celtics means the offseason is automatically a win.

Ime and Nia got engaged back in 2015, although Long has said a few different times she has no plans of marrying anytime soon.

“Love is complicated, let’s just start there,” Long told Essence. “And then you start a marriage, which I’ve never been married. And there’s a reason for that because I don’t know that I need to say ‘I do’ to prove to you that I love you. But also, what does marriage really [mean]… that you own me now and I own you? I don’t get that part.”

Sounds like Ime has his hands full.

Between KD, Kyrie, Harden and Nia, Ime must be pretty damn skilled at managing relationships.
