Lou Williams has always been one of the most unique personalities in NBA history—both on and off the court. The three-time Sixth Man of the Year has carved out a legacy as one of the greatest bench scorers in league history, but his legend stretches beyond basketball thanks to a story that continues to shock and amuse fans to this day: he openly dated two women at the same time, and they were totally fine with it.
Former NBA forward Tyler Hansbrough, who briefly shared a locker room with Lou, recently confirmed the long-standing rumor during an appearance on the Green Light podcast. Hansbrough didn’t hold back his admiration:
"They sat next to each other there at every game. I mean, Lou Williams—off the court—for doing that. I mean, I'm not sure he could do anything basketball-wise to ever really top that."
"Man, I love Lou Williams. We were actually the same high school class... so I knew him a little bit. But man, that was—that was very impressive. His girlfriends—they looked... I mean, they were impressive."
"These two girls were like model-hot, and both of them sat at the game. And I—and it was just—it was hilarious."
This wasn’t just some wild NBA urban legend. Williams himself has addressed the situation publicly on multiple occasions, making it clear that it wasn’t some casual setup, but rather a deeply personal family structure.
Lou’s polyamorous relationship first came to light around 2014, and while it was initially met with curiosity and some criticism, it ultimately revealed a different kind of loyalty and maturity. He provided for both women and their children, maintaining a healthy and open family environment that didn’t fall into the usual NBA drama narrative.
At the height of this viral moment, Williams became something of a folk hero among NBA fans—not just for having two girlfriends, but for managing to do so with apparent transparency and respect. One of the women was even spotted dancing during a Clippers game in the bubble, drawing more headlines and confirming just how open the dynamic was.
In a hilarious social media moment in 2022, a fan tried to clown Lou with a photo captioned about his “two wives.” Williams fired back with a response that instantly went viral:
“I sure did. But it wasn’t these two.”
Despite the jokes and the attention, Lou Williams has made it clear that his relationships were never about image—they were about family. And while many remember him for iconic scoring performances, game-winning floaters, and microwave offense off the bench, this part of his life adds to his mythos.
From his on-court heroics to his off-court candor, Lou Will’s story is one-of-a-kind.
