‘Ok Sis We See You’: Fans Hint That Malaysia Pargo and Former NFL Player Darnell Dockett Are More Than Friends After She Sends Him a Heartwarming Birthday Message

Malaysia Pargo‘s love life seems to be the topic of conversation on the internet. The cast member of “Basketball Wives” sent a heartfelt birthday message to retired NFL player Darnell Dockett, and fans appear to be convinced that Dockett is her “soulmate.”

On Wednesday, May 27, Dockett turned 39 years old. In honor of his special day, Pargo posted a photo on Instagram that showed the former Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman standing shirtless in swimming trunks and rubber boots as he gazed at the sky in front of a waterfall. Pargo wrote in her caption: “When nothing goes right, I go to you. You’re my go-to person at every hour. Happy birthday Bestfriend @dockett90.”

It’s not entirely clear what the nature of the 39-year-old Pargo’s association with Dockett is, unlike her well-documented union with former NBA player Jannero Pargo, whom she married in 2006 and divorced in 2014. Rumors swirled that the now-Portland Trail Blazers assistant coach cheated on Malaysia Pargo, but the reality star merely cited irreconcilable differences in their divorce filing. The former couple have three children together. Malaysia reportedly was awarded $15,380 a month for child support and another $7,500 a month for spousal support in the divorce settlement.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual β€” and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
