Wilson Chandler Married, Wife, Family, College

Now playing for the Brooklyn Nets, Wilson Chandler is in his 11th season as a professional NBA player. The athlete has succeeded with every team that he stepped foot on the court.

Despite his career longevity and recognition by almost everyone that follows the NBA, not everything about Wilson is out there. The athlete has always kept his love life a secret and out of the reach of media.

Is Wilson Dating?

Wilson Chandler is very secretive when it comes to his dating life. Despite being at the top of the basketball world and living the lavish life of a high-earning player, Wilson has never really let the world know about his girlfriend.

But, it doesn't imply that he is single. Yes, Wilson is dating his significant other. Even though the player has never mentioned her name, some other sources confirm her identity.

Wilson’s girlfriend’s name is Arika Hall, and she has been confirmed by authentic sources such as the Twitter account of Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children. The hospital posted a thank you note to Arika when she visited them and even made some donations in December 2016

However, other than her name, not much else is known about Arika or her state of relationship with Wilson. Unless Wilson publicly acknowledges his involvement with his fiancee, it is hard to speculate his plans on getting married and turning Erika to his "wife."
