The couple took their romance public in June when Williams wished her beau a happy birthday onInstagramwith a photo of the two enjoying a drink together.
“Happy birthday to the one,” she wrote in the post’s caption. “This picture describes us, pure bliss. I pray God continues to bless you on this trip around the sun. Wishing you peace, love and many more blessings. I love you ❤️.”

Without revealing the location and date of when they first laid eyes on each other, Gold told viewers, “So I walk around the corner and I turn and I see this beautiful woman.”
They both agreed that there was a mutual “connection,” they noted, without adding detail of their topics of conversation.“We hugged each other,” Williams recalled before Gold clarified, “We hugged each other but it wasn’t a church hug.”
After that meeting, Gold wanted confirmation from his friends that they too had noticed a spark between him and Williams.
“I hit my boy up like, ‘Bro, I know that you saw what I saw. No, like, Did you see a connection?'” he asked.
Williams added, “I texted [ex-Basketball Wivescostar] Imani [Showalter] and I was like, ‘Hey, what’s up with light skin?’ " referring to Gold. “And she’s like, ‘Oh my God, this sounds great. Like, he sounds like a great guy. How old is he?’ And I was like. ‘Oh, s—, I don’t know!’ "
Last June, the news of their romance surprised theRedefinedcosmetics founder’s fans, who seemed to know little about Gold, who is yet to make his appearance onBasketball Wives.
“Huh? What happened to the other guy from the show?” one fan asked via Instagram, referring to Williams’ former boyfriend Jelani Harrison, whom Williams said she had not been in a relationship with since 2022.
