Cat’s out the bag! Tami Roman and Reggie Youngblood are now officially husband and wife.

According to The Blast, the Basketball Wives star and her longtime boyfriend got married in Las Vegas last year. The pair reportedly got their marriage license on August 17, 2018, and walked down the aisle the next day.

During season 7 of Basketball Wives, Roman and Youngblood discussed the possibility of getting married. Castmate Jackie Christie assisted Youngblood with ring shopping but was blindsided when Roman pulled her to the side and revealed she was having second thoughts about getting married again because of their past struggles trying to conceive. “I don’t want him to propose, I don’t want him to do any of that,” she said during a sit-down. “If I don’t go through with having this baby, I don’t want him to resent me.”

Youngblood ultimately agreed he wanted to stay in the relationship, even if Roman decided marriage wasn’t in their future. “I just can’t leave you and end it,” Youngblood confessed. “The pros outweigh the cons to me.”

Roman has two daughters, Lyric and Jazz, from her marriage to retired basketball player Kenny Anderson. Roman will be returning to Basketball Wives for season 8, premiering June 19th.

Congrats, you two!
