Gilbert Arenas' fiancee Melli Monaco hypes his daughter Izela’s impressive shift vs. Colorado

Former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas and Melli Monaco were in the building to witness his daughter Izela Arenas put on an impressive display against the Colorado Buffaloes. The Louisville Cardinals traveled to Boulder on Saturday to take on Colorado.

The 5-foot-9 freshman finished the night with 11 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals to help her team to a 79-71 win.

Monaco couldn't contain her excitement and posted a series of short videos on her Instagram story of Izela converting shot after shot. She captioned the post with the following message:

Izela Arenas showed off her versatility on the night. The clips show her making a layup in traffic, pulling off a spin move followed by a mid-range shot and drilling a corner 3-pointer. Monaco even added some background music with Travis Scott's FE!N accompanying the post.

Gilbert Arenas, Melli Monaco, Alijah Arenas and his girlfriend were all in the stands to support the 18-year-old as she went up against some of the top Division 1 players in the nation.

Arenas' son, Alijah, is also a highly rated high school talent. The 6-foot-4 shooting guard is the No. 4 ranked prospect in the 2026 class and plenty of schools are interested in recruiting the rising star.

Izela and Alijah Arenas are Gilbert Arenas' children from his previous relationship with Laura Govan. They have four children together.

Earlier this summer, Arenas confirmed his engagement to Melli Monaco.

Izela took her basketball talents to the University of Louisville and is enjoying her freshman season with the Cardinals. The young guard traveled to Paris in early November with her teammates, where Louisville was taking on UCLA.

Laura Govan came to Paris to support her daughter and captured the special moment when Izela scored her first college basket.

Louisville may have gone on to lose the game 66-59 but playing in Paris would have been a special experience for Izela. She will also have been grateful to have her mother in the stands to capture her first college basket.
