Let’s meet Kawhi Leonard’s barely-seen girlfriend and baby mama Kishele Shipley. The couple stay out of the limelight but have been spotted at several events together.
Kawhi Leonard is one of the best two-way players the NBA has seen in recent years. He was voted to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team in 2021, recognizing him as one of the best players ever.
Kawhi is a two-time NBA champion and two-time Finals MVP. He is one of only three players to win Finals MVP with multiple teams, along with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James
The 31-year-old, nicknamed ‘the Klaw’, missed the entirety of the 2021-22 season as he rehabbed his reconstructed right ACL. Leonard will be load managing throughout this season for the LA Clippers as the team ease him back with this year’s playoffs in mind.

Just like her husband Kawhi, Kishele likes to stay out of the limelight, and isn’t on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. Despite being with the NBA superstar, she has rarely been spotted out in public and likes to stay out of the limelight.
However, she was spotted with Kawhi and their daughter, Kaliyah Leonard, at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports in 2019. Kawhi and Kishele first became parents in the summer of 2016 with the birth of Kaliyah.
In 2019 they welcomed their second child. Kawhi missed a game to be with his partner as she gave birth. The name and gender is not known.

After Kawhi led the Toronto Raptors to their first NBA championship in franchise history in 2019, she was seen hugging and celebrating with her husband as he won his second Finals MVP.
