Damian Lillard’s girlfriend Kay’la Hanson is very proud of her boyfriend.
As she should be.
Kay’La Hanson was a pre-med student enrolled at Weber State University in Utah. It doesn’t appear she pursued a career in the medial field, but that could be tucked out of the limelight for now. Kay’La does link to, and post about a mobile Nail salon in Portland, with the caption in her bio reading
One could make the easy leap that the couple met at college, as Lillard played his college ball for the Weber State Wildcats. Of course, all of this was before the Blazers took him with the 6th overall pick in the 2012 draft. Lillard immediately took over in the Pacific Northwest, but is still working to make a bigger name for himself to the rest of the country. And launching a game winning 40 foot three pointer to close a playoff series will certainly help.
Damian Lillard’s girlfriend loves social media!
Kay’La Hanson is regular to her Twitter and Instagram accounts showing support for Lillard, often expressing how much she misses him while on the road. While the Trailblazers superstar is well known to dedicated NBA fans, he didn’t really become a household name for a few years.
Damian Lillard’s girlfriend, gave birth to their son, Damian Jr., in March, 2017. Both Damian and Kay’La are proud of their little dude. Hell, who isn’t proud of their kids? Damian put up a sweet picture on Instagram of him Facetiming with Dame Jr before a game. Proud parents for sure.
Is Damian Lillard’s girlfriend about the become Damian Lillard’s wife?
When we last reviewed this post in April of 2019 we wrote the following:
Short answer? Not sure.
Longer answer? Well, some sites on the internet have labeled Kay’La as Damian Lillard’s fiancee. We haven’t found anything out there to definitively support that, also noting that Kay’La doesn’t flaunt a ring in any pictures. So if they are engaged, it’s not for public consumption. And that’s cool with us.

When we updated this post in July of 2020, we can now definitely say this:
Yep.
Damian Lillard’s girlfriend is in fact about to become Damian Lillard’s wife. During the 2020 All Star Weekend, Dame finally officially popped the question at a private party with friends and family. Little did anyone know that COVID was about to shut down the world as we know it, so wedding plans are likely in a holding pattern for now. But, given the relative privacy of their relationship to date, it’s not surprising that neither is on social media chatting up their dates and locations. Whenever the nuptials do wind up taking place it’ll be well deserved for both parties. They’ve been in it for the long haul, and are clearly one of those athlete relationships that’s going to work.
