He is a point guard for the NBA’s Phoenix Suns and is currently wearing a number 15 jersey. Oklahoma City Thunder drafted Payne in the 2015 draft. He was chosen in the first round and was the 14th overall pick.
Cameron studied in Lausanne Collegiate School, and while he joined as a freshman, he was just five feet five inches, but by senior year Payne had grown to six feet. For his performance, various sites regarded him as a three-star recruit.
He has played for various teams throughout his NBA career, including Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Shanxi Loongs, and Texas Legends after Thunder. He has been with the Suns since the 2020 season.

Mendez has successfully accumulated 10.5k followers on IG with over 176 posts. She does not hesitate to upload images with her NBA star boyfriend. She keeps uploading the memories they have made together more than Payne.
Nevertheless, Lisa has shared the website and IG link to her business, which goes by the name Le Monae. Going through the social media handle of her company, it must be located in Los Angeles, California.
As Mendez shared on her personal site, she waited two years to start it and finally got it going in 2020. The business is related to fine jewelry. In the Le Monae Insta, she revealed the meaning of the name, which meant ‘Fine Jewelry Curated for Women.’
The business is targeted toward women’s jewelry, minding different aspects of women’s thoughts, bodies, and inner feelings is what they claim. But the actual picture of their products still remains under the shadow.
Payne Age Gap With His Beloved Partner Mendez
The age gap between the NBA star and his long-time lover Mendez is approximately two years. Born on 8 August 1994, he turned 28 this year, whereas his partner is already in her thirties.
Lisa’s age was only known to some of her nearest and dearest ones, but last year, she wished herself a 29th birthday on her social media. She celebrates her born day every year on 13 January.
Thus she is older than her boyfriend, but as the pair have been together for approximately four years now, the age factor does not seem to be a factor for a dispute.
Both Lisa and Cameron do not post photos and clips of the celebration of their special day on the media, but fans are very sure the pair sticks with one another and are expected to surprise and pamper each other with the best possible gifts.

In addition, Shinkle also attended Murray state and was reportedly born to her parents in Indiana. As seen in her Facebook profile, she was working as a processor at Paschall Truck Lines, but as she has not updated anything on the site for a few years now, she might have shifted her job to a subject that she majored in.
Attending Murray State University, she studies Criminal Justice. While Payne was still dating her, the pair did not hesitate to post each other on the online portal. But after their breakup in 2015, most of the image of the former couple has vanished.
Judging by a post on Katie’s Facebook, she and the newly recruited NBA rookie broke up at the end of 2015. She had made a few touching phrases in her profile picture for some days until she changed it on 9 January 2016.
