Rudy Gobert, the Timberwolves Center in Minnesota, and his pregnant girlfriend Julia Bonilla, stood out in the team's Western Conference Finals.
TMZ Sports reported Friday that Gobert and Bonilla already had a child who was found in the Timberwolves game on April 13. However, a source close to the player’s wife and girlfriend told the media that despite their intimacy, things obviously changed once she revealed she was pregnant.

Bonilla tried to move back to France after the breakup, but Gobert wanted her and their kids to stay in the U.S., hoping to find a friendly cohabitation situation once the Minnesota season is over.
Both Bonilla and Gobert made statements as reports of breakups declined.
"I went through one of the most painful periods of my life, feeling isolated and away from my family and friends," Bonilla wrote on her Instagram story before deleting her account. "I think Rudy's love for me all her life. I left it all to him. I gave him a child and poured my heart into our relationship."
“I stand by him when everyone criticizes and insults him, always puts him first and always chooses him. Despite the way I treat him, I choose to protect his name for the child. I have never been unfaithful to my child’s father.

"I am a mom and I have to prioritize my health and well-being. Thank you for respecting my privacy during this challenging time."
Gobert responded to what he called "inaccurate information."
“Julia and I are currently in the pain of redefining our shared relationship,” he wrote on Instagram. “Being a father is one of the deepest and most meaningful experiences I will live. It is one of my most important purpose in life and will always be.
"I am totally committed to continuing to support the well-being of all people I care about. I want everyone to not guess and respect our privacy during these difficult times."
