Michael Porter Jr. Splits Rent With Ex Amid $200 Million Contract

by

Michael Porter Jr. isn’t afraid to toss a little assist. 

The basketball star, who previously signed a large contract extension with the Denver Nuggets before being traded to the Brooklyn Nets, recently shared that he’s still splitting rent with his ex-girlfriend. He explained how they decided to continue this arrangement even after their breakup.

Michael recently talked about his relationship on the #Respectfully podcast with Justin Laboy. He mentioned his girlfriend is from a different city, which he anticipated, and he feels that caring for someone you love is a wonderful experience.

The Brooklyn Nets player, set to earn $38.3 million next season, confessed he reached an agreement with the woman as their relationship became more serious.

Okay, so at first, I didn’t think he was throwing tons of money at her, he said it wasn’t anything *huge*. But then… then he started talking about splitting her rent! Like, actually *paying* for part of her place? I almost couldn’t believe it. It was such a big step, and honestly, it just showed me how completely smitten he was. It wasn’t just dates and flowers anymore; he was offering real, practical help. It was everything!

He wasn’t planning to live with her permanently, but he imagined spending a significant amount of time in that city.

She was searching for an apartment and found one she liked, but it was twice as expensive as she could manage. So I offered to help. I told her I really liked the place and wanted both of us to be able to live there comfortably, and asked how much she *could* afford, offering to cover the difference.

She explained that she decided, no matter what happened with the relationship, she would continue paying the rent for the next year.

Michael and his girlfriend dated for a little over a year and a half, but they broke up two months ago – he takes responsibility for the split. Despite questioning whether the original agreement was reasonable, he still intends to honor it.

He explained that they broke up five or six months into their lease. Now he’s wondering whether to continue financially supporting her, since they’re no longer together.

He’s now more cautious with how he spends money on women, wanting to be sure they’re interested in him for who he is, not just for gifts or financial support.

Let me tell you, as someone who’s seen a lot, it’s incredibly tricky navigating relationships when you’re financially secure. I used to be the type who didn’t spoil dates with lavish gifts, but recently I found myself wanting to treat someone special – to make sure she felt good and had nice things. But honestly, it left me constantly wondering about her motives. It wasn’t about being stingy, it was because this particular woman had attracted a lot of attention from wealthy men, and I really needed to know if she was with *me* for who I am, not what I have or what I could give her. It’s a feeling a lot of us deal with, wanting genuine connection beyond material possessions.

In June 2024, athlete Jason Kelce responded to a fan’s comment on social media, jokingly asking, “What kind of weirdo washes their feet…?” The fan had observed that Kelce appeared to not wash his legs or feet.

The retired Philadelphia Eagles player later doubled down on his comments.

During a recent episode of his podcast, *New Heights* with his brother Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes joked, ‘What kind of person washes your feet?’ He then added, ‘If I see dirt, I’ll scrub it off.’

Okay, so you might remember years ago when I shared a pretty wild story about my first circus experience? I talked about seeing a clown tragically die in a car explosion. Well, I have to admit, that didn’t actually happen. It was a story I made up, and I’m owning up to it now. Sometimes our memories play tricks on us, or we embellish things, and this was one of those times!

Robert remembered telling *The New York Times Style Magazine* in December 2024 that he reacted with complete surprise. He said he immediately asked, “What on earth? Are you possessed?”

As for what he said during the 2011 Today interview promoting his film Water for Elephants?

He explained that one of the clowns had died in an accident. Their small car exploded, and it was a very serious incident. Everyone panicked and ran to safety; it was a truly frightening experience.

Grandma knows best.

In an October 2022 episode of *The Kardashians*, Kim Kardashian shared a personal story about how her grandmother, Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell, unexpectedly played a role in a private moment with her then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson.

Kim Kardashian shared a story with her mom, Kris Jenner, and sister Khloe Kardashian about a weekend at the Beverly Hills Hotel. She explained that she and Pete Davidson were chatting by the fireplace for hours when she remembered something her grandmother told her: that having sex in front of a fireplace is a way to truly enjoy life. Inspired, they decided to act on the advice as a tribute to Kris.

Grandma’s reaction? A nod of approval.

Kim found it unsettling to think about her grandmother before being intimate, and MJ responded by saying she understood, as she hadn’t always been older.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have a very close family, including their children, 8-year-old Wyatt and 6-year-old Dimitri, and their love for each other is limitless.

So much so, that the Black Swan actress revealed they keep an open-door policy at home.

She told TopMob News in September 2022 that this also included accidents in the bathroom. She explained it’s become normal for her family and children to just accept bodily functions as they happen.

Mila explained she finally gave in after her family repeatedly asked to come inside. She said she just decided to leave the door open rather than continue refusing them.

Pre-kids, she might not have imagined she’d flush that particular boundary away.

She said she never imagined she’d be comfortable enough to use the restroom with the door open.

Ghouls just want to have fun.

During an October 2022 episode of *The View*, while discussing a woman who claimed her home was haunted by “sexual ghosts,” Sara Haines posed a surprising question to her co-hosts: Could someone actually get pregnant from a ghost?

Luckily, Joy Behar, her co-host, chimed in with a humorous response: “I’ve had encounters with ghosts and never gotten pregnant.”

“I’m going to leave that statement as is,” Whoopi Goldberg responded. “I’m not sure everyone heard what Joy said, but I’m choosing not to comment further on it.”

Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb are very close friends, but Hoda recently learned something surprising about her *Today* show co-host. While preparing for an episode of *Today with Hoda and Jenna*, Hoda found out that Jenna never wears underwear.

Hoda Kotb shared a funny story from a November 2022 episode of *Today with Hoda and Jenna*. She explained that they both needed to quickly change outfits, and while heading back to the dressing room, she realized Jenna Bush Hager doesn’t wear underwear.

Jenna’s rationale? Well, no underwear might just be more convenient to her.

She explained that the style creates a more flattering shape and also makes packing easier, adding that there are many benefits to choosing it.

Looks like someone hasn’t been keeping up.

Britney Spears related to a popular line from Keke Palmer – “He could be walking down the street, and I wouldn’t know a thing” – revealing she wasn’t familiar with Pete Davidson or Scott Disick.

Britney shared a funny video from March showing Pete Davidson – who was dating Kim Kardashian at the time – and Kourtney Kardashian’s ex, Scott Disick, having a night out. She said the video had her laughing a lot.

Britney apologized for sharing the video, explaining she didn’t know the people in it, but it had made her laugh hysterically. She has since removed the post.

Oh my gosh, can you believe it? Before everyone lost their minds over Chris Evans as Captain America – and, like, *the* Sexiest Man Alive in 2022 – Jana Kramer actually *dated* him! She always calls him the sweetest heartthrob, a total cutie, and says they went on a few dates back then. I’m seriously living for this story!

The singer shared on her podcast, *Whine Down with Jana Kramer*, that this happened over ten years ago. While she doesn’t remember exactly how many times they went out, she clearly remembers the last time they were together.

Jana, who was around 26 at the time, said Chris asked her to come over when he had some friends visiting from Boston.

Jana recalled that the last thing she remembered was her partner heading to the bathroom right after she’d used it and noticed her urine smelled like asparagus – something the vegetable can cause. They didn’t end up intimate that night. He stayed up late with friends, and the next morning, Jana quietly left his house, feeling embarrassed.

She added, “I never heard from him again.”

Not all of these confessions are amusing.

As a lifestyle expert, I was shocked to learn the truth about Elisabeth Finch, a writer who, for eight years, led everyone to believe she was fighting a rare bone cancer. She originally shared this story with *ELLE* magazine, and it even became a plotline on *Grey’s Anatomy*. Just last December, she admitted it was all fabricated. It’s a really complicated situation, and definitely raises questions about honesty and storytelling.

Let me tell you, honesty is *always* the best policy. I learned that the hard way. A lie I told when I was 34 snowballed into something huge, and I carried that weight for years. It’s something I deeply regret, and I want to be clear: I’ve never battled cancer. Sharing this now feels important for my own peace of mind and to finally set the record straight.

Finch, who was temporarily removed from his job on the ABC medical show before ultimately quitting, admitted, “I messed up, and it was completely unacceptable. I take full responsibility for my actions.”

Beauty is pain, but Kim Kardashian might be able to stomach it.

The reality star told *The New York Times* she’d consider almost any procedure to look younger, joking that she was open to trying everything.

She admitted in June that she’d even consider something extreme – like eating something disgusting daily – if it meant she could look younger. She emphasized she was seriously considering it.

In a July 2022 interview with *Allure*, Kim admitted she was mostly joking when she made the comment, but she didn’t think it was a bad idea.

Kim thought for a moment and then said, ‘Honestly, I’d probably eat something awful if someone promised it would make me look younger – even if it meant eating a bowl of poop every day.’

Oh my gosh, she said she might be able to manage *a bite*! Just a tiny bite, she admitted to the interviewer, but she doesn’t think she could handle a whole bowl. Can you believe it? Even a little is amazing, honestly! I’m already imagining what that bite will be… it’s everything!

Jelly Roll could’ve used some saving from himself.

During an April 2025 interview on *The Jennifer Hudson Show*, the singer behind “Save Me” shared a truly embarrassing story, and he didn’t shy away from the details.

“I pooped myself one time,” he admitted. “I did, I’m sorry.”

To be honest, Jelly Roll (whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord) didn’t intend to cause such serious harm.

He firmly believed it was just a misunderstanding. “I sincerely apologize,” he said. “I saw the audience turn from supportive to completely against me.”
