Never Married But Was in a Longtime Relationship with Melvin Booker
Veronica Gutierrez is never married but she was in a relationship with Melvin Booker for several years. They first met in 1995 when Melvin was playing for Grand Rapids Mackers in the 1995–1996 CBA season. Soon after their first meeting, they started dating.
The pair decided not to get married just because of their busy schedule and commitment to work. Her former boyfriend is also a former professional basketball player who had to often move to several places. Due to this reason, they led an unconventional relationship.
Her children had to split time between their parents. Melvin credits Veronica as the best partner and mom. In a 2016 interview with The Undefeated, he revealed that he appreciates her sacrifice for their kids.
She made it happen. I owe her all the credit for allowing that to happen. Ever since [Devin] was 8 months old, he was coming with me in the summertime. It was special. I was trying to make up for the times I missed when I was gone.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go well and the pair split later on.
