Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas recently shared intriguing tales from his personal life, revealing a prank involving a fake diamond ring gifted to his ex-girlfriend, Laura Govan.
Arenas initially proposed with a genuine $400,000 diamond ring, but subsequent events led to a humorous yet contentious exchange.
Following a heated argument leading to a temporary breakup, Arenas devised a plan to reclaim the expensive ring. Years later, during a period of reconciliation, he replaced the genuine ring with a fake one. This decision, while calculated, resulted in unforeseen legal ramifications.
Govan accused Arenas of theft, initiating a lawsuit to retrieve the ring. Arenas, unfazed, opted to sell the ring to cover legal expenses, a move met with mixed reactions.
Gilbert Arenas had his child support lowered from $44K to $7K
Despite the controversy, Arenas stands firm in his decision, highlighting the complexities of relationships beyond the basketball court.
In addition to the diamond ring debacle, Arenas and Govan navigated a custody battle over their four children following their 2014 separation.
Initially ordered to pay $20,000 in child support, Arenas voluntarily increased the amount, only for it to rise to $44,000 due to added school expenses.
However, a steadfast judge intervened, reducing the child support to $7,000, despite Govan’s attempts to capitalize on Arenas’ financial status.
This legal victory underscored the court’s commitment to fairness, leaving a lasting impression amidst the personal turmoil of the former couple’s public dispute.
