The spotlight on Dwight Howard’s love story
Fans were thrilled by the couple’s glances into their relationship, as they had previously kept their courtship a secret. Photos and videos of the pair celebrating Howard’s birthday on December 8 and going to events like the Den of Thieves 2 movie screening in Atlanta, which Howard hosted, were posted on Luciani’s Instagram account.
In addition, Howard paid respect to him by sharing pictures of their night out along with the simple words “Happy,” along with hashtags like #BlackLove and #PrayedForThis.
The couple has been seen together at high-profile events, such as a Celsius energy drink event in Miami earlier this month, despite the fact that specifics on how they met are still confidential.
