How long have Matt Barnes and Anansa Sims been together? Former NBA player’s fiancée accuses him of cheating with 8 women

Anansa Sims is calling out her soon-to-be husband, Matt Barnes, for allegedly cheating on her with eight different women in January alone.

The reality star took to Instagram on Thursday, where she accused him of being a philanderer, though the caption has since been deleted. The pair got engaged back in December 2022 after having dated for five years on and off since 2018. They welcomed their first son, Ashton, in 2018 and their second son, Austin, this past October.

During their time together, the couple had several highs and lows, such as when the model reportedly filed a restraining order against Barnes in 2020. However, they reconciled the following year.

On Instagram, Anansa Sims uploaded a meme that said:

"I once loved a man so much that I was fixing him while he was breaking me."

Her caption, on the other hand, directly addressed former NBA player Matt Barnes:

"Why Matt?? 8 different women in January,” followed by a broken heart emoji.

In a now-deleted post, Anansa also name-dropped all of the eight women Barnes allegedly cheated on her with in January while tagging them with their Instagram handles. She even added dates of what seems to be the day Matt Barnes got intimate with each of these women.

Allegedly, some of these women have been active with Barnes for years, with two even being intimate with him for as long as 6 and 7 years, respectively. One of the women tagged is former Love & Hip Hop star Masika Kalysha.

Anansa Sims claims that the two got together when Barnes was on a trip to Denver, accusing Kalysha of being with her partner since the summer of 2024. She also claimed that the two were together on January 18 and 19.

She concluded her list with the caption:

“Y’all can have him.”

Masika Kalysha has since denied the claims, however, as she told The Shade Room in a statement that she "absolutely in no way [is] having an affair of any sort with Matt."

The other women to make it to the list include @Autumnmlondon, @Porschethomas, @iamthaprototype, @Iamlizs_, @Corrine.Silverberg from @thefaceofchildhoodhunger, @itsashleylord, and Halie Camden.

Porsche Thomas has also defended herself in a statement on her Instagram stories, noting that she hasn't "even spoken to that man in well over a year" before asking that she be left "outta this group chat."
