Former Lakers star Kent Bazemore married Serpe in November 2017. Before the pair tied the knot, they signed a prenuptial agreement, which they now want the court to uphold. In addition, Bazemore agreed to pay child support to Serpe, though he requests to be awarded legal fees. Reports also revealed Bazemore and Serpe’s divorce seemed acrimonious. This is despite the standard nature of their divorce paperwork, as the court reportedly ordered them to attend mediation. Evidence of the likely acrimonious nature of Bazemore and Serpe’s split could be inferred from the latter’s activities on Instagram. Kent Bazemore’s wife seemingly blocked him on Instagram and untagged him from pictures of them that remain on her feed.
