Okay, so I got curious about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s personal life, specifically, if he’s married right now. I’ve always admired him as a basketball legend, but I realized I knew very little about his life off the court.
Digging In
I started with a simple search, just typing in “is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar married?”. The results were a bit all over the place, to be honest. Some older articles popped up, and some were more recent, so it took a bit of sifting.
I noticed a lot of mentions of his past relationship with Habiba Abdul-Jabbar (formerly Janice Brown). It looked like they were married for a while, from what I could gather from quickly scanning a few websites.
Piecing it Together
It was a mix of different bios and articles. After reading on several, I can tell that they got married back in 1971 and had three kids together: Habiba, Sultana, and Kareem Jr. It seems like they ended up getting divorced in 1978.
Finding Recent Info
But, as I mentioned before, I needed to figure out if he had remarried after that. Most sites I used at first didn’t show it, so I thought there’s a possibility he might have remarried and kept it under wraps.
After digging a bit deeper, I realized I was right.
I found another marriage record, but I haven’t found any reliable info on whether he’s currently married or not. There weren’t any clear, recent articles or interviews stating his current marital status.
My Conclusion (For Now!)
So, based on what I could find, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was definitely married before, to Habiba Abdul-Jabbar, but they divorced. It looks like he might have remarried since then, but I didn’t find any solid evidence. It seems that Kareem keeps his personal life pretty private, which is understandable.
If anything, this little research dive made me more curious! If I come across any definitive updates, I’ll make a note of it, but for now, it remains a bit of a mystery.
