COUPLESKevin Garnett and His Girlfriend Have 'Regrets' After Cops Called During Heated Domestic Dispute
Kevin Garnett and his girlfriend, Teare Candelier, were involved in a domestic dispute last month.
Kevin Garnett and his girlfriend, Teare Candelier, wish they let a heated situation defuse before involving police.
The retired NBA star and his lady issued a joint statement roughly one week after Candelier called police at around 2 a.m. on Sunday, April 27, amid a domestic dispute at their Los Angeles home.
Teare Candelier called police on her boyfriend, Kevin Garnett, last month.
"We deeply regret that a personal disagreement escalated and inappropriately involved authorities," the couple wrote in a joint statement on Sunday, May 4, according to TMZ. "It was never our intention to involve others in a moment that should have remained private."
"Like most couples, we have disagreements, but our commitment to each other remains strong, and we move forward with renewed respect, understanding, and love," their message concluded.
The statement comes after sources informed the news outlet about law enforcement officers arriving at the scene following an intense argument between Garnett and Candelier.
Per insiders, Garnett had already left the residence by the time police arrived, though cops recorded a report anyway.
Kevin Garnette moved his girlfriend out of the doorway in order to leave their home.
Things are said to have never gotten physical during the altercation, aside from when the former professional basketball player moved Candelier out of the doorway while trying to remove himself from the situation to avoid escalated conflict.
Candelier reportedly refused medical attention when asked if she needed it.
It’s unclear how long Garnett and Candelier have been a couple.
The famous athlete was previously involved in a legal battle with his ex Necat Akman over custody of their daughter Naya, 5.
