The two remained together for the next eight years before the marriage ended in a divorce.

In the media, she is widely known for her partaking in the 2011 reality TV show, Basketball Wives LA, a show which focused on the wives, girlfriends and other women connected to basketball players in a romantic way.

In his career as a basketball player, Metta played for the Chicago Bulls (1999-2002), Indiana Pacers (2002-2006), Sacramento Kings (2006-2008), Houston Rockets (2008-2009), Los Angeles Lakers (2009-2013), New York Knicks (2013-2014) among several others.
