Gilbert Arenas' ex Laura Govan is known for her witty social media posts and updates. Although separated from the former NBA All-Star, the famous TV personality still shares a bond with Arenas via their four children. She isn't shy of showing her love for her children too, and sometimes in a playful manner also.

In her recent Instagram story, the Basketball Wives lead star shared a funny meme hinting at the leg work involved in raising kids. The colorful picture included a text that read:

"My child is sleeping after terrorizing the entire house all day."

In the IG story, she tagged her four children — Alijah Arenas, Hamiley Arenas, Aloni Arenas and Izela Arenas — probably emphasizing how much effort goes into raising kids.

The NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas started dating Laura back in 2022. The power couple got engaged in 2008 and remained together till 2014.

Although the split wasn't easy for both parties, it was more monetarily draining for the NBA star as he had to pay over $44,000 a month before the court reduced it to around $7000 per month.

In any case, her recent Instagram story is a clear example of a mother's affection and love for her children. And now, the Arenas siblings are turning out to be ace basketball players, like their father.

Laura Govan has four children with Gilbert Arenas, and three are turning out to be like their father — a dab hand at basketball. Alijah Arenas, the eldest of Gilbert and Laura, is already a big name.

The Chatsworth High School junior and No. 3 player from the Class of 2026 is a five-star prospect. Her mother, Laura Govan, admitted that he could even beat his father, Gilbert Arenas.

When TMZ asked if Alijah could beat his father one-on-one, she said, “Hell ya." Aliza Arenas, the second sibling, is also a star player and committed to Louisville.

Interestingly, the next Arenas in line, Aloni, seems to surpass both his elder brother and sister in terms of skills and talents.

In a video shared by his mother, Laura Govan, the Junior Arenas appears to dodge, evade, and find hoop against high school players with relative ease. The video caption read:

"13 Like Brother Like Brother... I’ve been keeping him a secret...Last Out! Mommy's Boy My Papa @aloniarenas @zachjb5."

In short, the younger Arenas appears to be on his way to becoming a great basketball player, just like his father. Although not together, both Gilbert Arenas and Laura Govan can be proud of their children blooming into exceptional basketball players.
