 Walton denies Britney dating rumours | |
LA Lakers star Luke Walton has denied rumours that he is dating troubled pop princess Britney Spears.
After Britney attended a few Lakers games last week the tabloids concluded that she was dating one of the team's star players.
However Walton decided to clear up the matter during a basketball-related press conference as, understandably, his girlfriend isn't all too happy about the gossip.
'The rumours aren't true,'' said Walton, who is dating Bre Ladd, a former volleyball player at the University of Arizona who was also at the game Britney attended. Funnily enough, she was left out of the shot.
'I'm sure Britney is a great person. I don't even know her. I have a girlfriend right now. I'm in a relationship. I'm very happy with my relationship. I don't know where it's all started, but none of it is true,' the six foot eight inch tall basketball giant told reporters.
But it seems that such rumours are a side-effect of being a high-profile sports star in LA where photographers loom on every corner.
'If I was living in Milwaukee, this wouldn't have happened,' Walton said. 'It's definitely an LA thing.' |
