Laura Govan is featured in the upcoming February 13th issue of J’Adore Magazine and she speaks extensively about her issues with Shaunie O’Neal, how they led to her joining the Basketball Wives L.A. cast and how her relationship with baller baby daddy Gilbert Arenas is going.
Check out the excerpt below:
On Shaunie O’Neal:
“I don’t have a relationship with Shaunie and I never will. The information she was given about Shaq and I was false, and she took it and ran with it. I didn’t appreciate it at all and for that reason I will never speak to her again. I don’t have beef with her. If we see each other, I won’t chin check her, but that’s why I chose to do Basketball Wives LA. I wanted people to see exactly who I am opposed to what you heard on Season One: Miami. I mean, there were five grown women talking about me and they had no idea who I was. That was unfair, but it goes to show you where their mentality was.”
I don’t think she has to worry about ever speaking to Shaunie O’Neal — Shaunie prolly said everything she had to say. On camera.

On Developing A Brand:
“My kids are my world! So right now I’m in the process of creating a product line for women & children. The line will include a workout DVD for new moms who’ve just given birth and want to lose their pregnancy weight, children books & more! A lot of people suggested I do stuff like write a book or cosmetics, etc. but I really wanted to do something that was true to me.”
On Gilbert Arenas:
“We love each other. Yes, we have our ups and downs, but we have four kids together and like I tell most people, we are doing better than most married couples. I knew the person before I knew the athlete. Whether he still plays ball or not, I’m still going to be married to the person that I fell in love with. We’re not announcing the date yet. When we do, it will be small and intimate. We actually got engaged three years ago. That ring that everyone saw is three years old. If anything, he needs to upgrade that ring. We’ve been together for 10 years.”
Hear that Gil, ya girl wants to get upgraded!
