Danilo Gallinari Wife, Girlfriend, Dating, Family

When it comes to the best Europeans playing in the NBA, Danilo Gallinari’s name usually pops up more often than not. The Italian player has made a name for himself in the NBA, following a career that was necessarily a family business.

Danilo comes from a family of basketball fanatics and is one of the most experienced players in the division right now. But, while his on-court plays are there for everyone to witness, his off-court life remains relatively unknown.

Danilo is currently in a relationship with Eleonora Boi. The two started going out back in 2018, but Danilo only confirmed the speculations of the association in March 2019.

During an interview with Sportweek, Danilo also revealed that Eleonora was his fiancee. She has also been visiting Danilo frequently during her vacations and doesn’t seem to miss a single game of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
