Summary
- Arenas questioned the definition of colorism and his dating preferences.

- His partner explained colorism's roots in historical discrimination.
Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas recently addressed accusations of colorism during a livestream.

He also shared details about his relationship history, including his marriage in January 2025 and four children with ex-partner Laura Govan.
