After keeping their relationship private for quite some time, love is officially in the air for newly engaged couple Dwight Howard and Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Amy Luciani.
The couple announced their engagement and relationship in December 2023, sparking plenty of online chatter. Many fans speculated about how long the relationship would last, considering Luciani’s recent romance with rapper Mazi and the allegations brought forward by Howard’s ex-girlfriend, Royce Reed.
Howard, known for his time as a former Los Angeles Lakers player and an eight-time NBA All-Star, didn’t shy away from addressing critics. During an Instagram Live session following their engagement, he directly responded to negative comments and urged social media users to stop dwelling on his past.
When one user commented, “Amy, you don’t know what this man did in his past,” Howard responded with conviction.
“This person who wrote that comment will never get blessed like they’re supposed to,” Howard said. “Everybody in the world has a past, but guess what? When you get in a relationship with somebody, you don’t bring the past into the relationship. The past is the past for a reason. Somebody like you will be stuck in the past for the rest of your life. You won’t get the benefits and the blessings you’re supposed to get because you’re worried about someone else, and you’re worried about the past too much.”
Howard continued, “Whatever happened to me in 2023 isn’t coming with me to 2024. Whatever happened to me in 2022 didn’t come with me in 2023. Move along. Why would I keep something with me from over a decade ago? I’m not carrying that weight with me. I’m letting it go so I can be blessed.”
