Nina and Russell Westbrook went to college at UCLA and eventually started dating in 2007. However, Russ declared for the NBA draft the following year and had to leave college to pursue his NBA dream.

Russell Westbrook talks about being attracted to his wife

Russell Westbrook recently appeared as a special guest on his wife’s podcast – ‘The Relationship Chronicles with Nina Westbrook’. The couple talked about their relationship, children, and journey together. Nina put her husband on the spot by asking him what attracted him to her. Here is what the NBA player had to say:

“You were surprisingly kind of quiet. You wasn’t talkative. That was attractive to me. Anybody that talks a lot, catches to much attention to themselves is not my style. You playing sports was attractive to me, just because we can relate. I think that was it for me. You being quiet gave me a little mystery about you, so I could learn more about you.”

The couple could only spend a year together in college as Russ went on to pursue his NBA career after being drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder. They continued their long-distance relationship for six years before getting engaged in 2014. The couple tied the knot in 2015. Since then, Russ and Nina have been blessed with a son and two daughters.

A happy couple with a very happy family, the two still do activities together, including playing basketball. And on one heated occasion, Nina even got one over on her NBA star husband.
