Delonte West is entering a new chapter in his life, announcing that he and his longtime girlfriend, Melissa Anaya, are officially getting married.

It’s been a major turnaround for the former NBA player, who faced difficult time in recent years. Now, West is celebrating a new milestone with the woman who has been by his side for two decades.

Sharing a selfie with Anaya, West announced the news with an excited caption.

“It’s been 20 years, we getting married today!!!”

After 20 years together, the couple is taking the next step in their relationship and making it official.

According to her social media profile, Anaya is teacher from Lawrence, Massachusetts.

Following the marriage announcement, another post featuring the couple appeared online, showing them dressed in wedding attire in what appears to be an AI-generated image. The post celebrated West’s journey and the new chapter he’s beginning with Anaya.

“After everything Delonte has been through, seeing him step into a new chapter of love, peace, and happiness is truly something special. From the NBA courts to the battles behind the scenes, Delonte’s journey has been filled with highs, lows, and moments that tested him — but this chapter is about LOVE and NEW BEGINNINGS.”
