Based on what the NBA champion said, it is clear that he is not dating Amber Rose. Shumpert and Amber Rose participated in the second season of BET’s College Hill alongside Joseline Hernandez, Tiffany “New York” Pollard, Ray J, and others.
The show premiered a month before Shumpert and his ex-wife Teyana Taylor finalized their divorce. News of the divorce became public in September 2023, after the Taylor confirmed their separation, citing reasons including alleged emotional and mental abuse, and infidelity.
