Udoka’s mother, Nia Talita Long, is a famous American actress. She was born on October 30, 1970, to Doughtry Long and Talitha Long (nee Gillman). Long’s parents divorced when she was two years old and she moved on with her mother to Iowa, City. When she was seven years old, they moved to the south of Los Angeles. Long found a breakthrough in her acting career when she starred in the hit movie, Boys in the Hood.

Both Udoka and Long met back in 2010 in Boston. They were reportedly introduced by a mutual friend. Then, Udoka was a basketball player for the NBA team, Sacramento Kings. They began a romantic relationship. One of the facts about their relationship is that Long is seven years older than Udoka. But did not seem to faze the couple as they continued a solid relationship that produced a son, Kez, a year after they met.

The couple became engaged to be married in 2015. For some reason, they did not tie the knot for years. No reason was given. In 2022, the couple broke after news of Udoka’s alleged affair with a female staff member of the Bolton Celtics was published by the media. Udoka was also suspended from his role as head coach of the Boston Celtics in September.

Meanwhile, Long has since revealed the end of her relationship with Kez Udoka’s father. She also confirmed to people.com that she would be moving back to Los Angeles from Boston with her two sons. Udoka, on the other hand, has apologised to his family, friends and Bolton Celtics for his scandalous affair.
