Baseless Andrew Wiggins ‘Best Friend’ rumour takes internet by storm
Since playing the Wizards on February 13, 2023, Andrew Wiggins has taken a vacation from basketball. Other than the fact that a “family situation” has kept him away, his whereabouts are unknown.
“With Wiggins missing his sixth straight game on Thursday night, it’s evident that he’s dealing with something significant,” senior NBA writer Connor Letourneau said.
Although the Golden State Warriors have kept information under wraps, the internet has continued to spread rumours.

Why The Rumour That Andrew Wiggins’ Best Friend Is False
According to a TikTok video shared on Twitter on Thursday, Wiggins is taking a vacation after learning his wife, Mychal Johnson, had been having an extramarital affair with his best friend, Maple Jordan. Also, it is shown in the clip that the couple’s two girls are not his biological kids.
On just one platform alone, the video has received 1.2 million views, and tweets spreading the myth have been seen by over 500,000 people.
Nothing in the rumour has been confirmed as being real by any of the persons concerned.
However, these rumours are baseless, as he is not married yet. Mychal Johnson is his longtime girlfriend, and they have two daughters together: Amyah Wiggins and Alayah Milan.
It also claims that their first child, Amyah, was born when they were still in high school, but in reality, she was born on October 11, 2018, when he was a member of the Timberwolves. Furthermore, Alayah Milan, their second child, joined the family in April 2021.
In 2013, Mychal and Andrew began dating. They connected over a shared passion for basketball. Previously, the mother of two played for the University of Notre Dame.
Twitter Opposes The False Speculation And Supports Wiggins
While some people have drawn premature conclusions, others are holding out hope that the accusations are in fact false.
One added, “I despise people spreading this Andrew Wiggins myth, which is probably false.” “That man kept it a secret for a purpose,” said the team.
“Avoid believing everything you read on the internet,” a third person responded to the TikTok video.
The Warriors ‘hope’ Andrew Wiggins can return this season as he’s dealing with something “way more important than a game.”
