Ex-Lakers standout goes public with much-older new girlfriend Amber Rose on LA date
Former Los Angeles Lakers player Christian Wood, 31, was photographed having dinner with model and television personality Amber Rose, 43, at a Beverly Hills restaurant. The public date drew attention because of their 12-year age gap and comes as Wood remains an unsigned free agent, having not played in the NBA since the 2023-24 season.
Wood appeared in 50 games for the Lakers that season, averaging 6.9 points in 17.4 minutes per game. Los Angeles waived him in February 2025 after signing Alex Len. Rose has previously been linked to several high-profile figures, including Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, Machine Gun Kelly, 21 Savage and former NBA player Terrence Ross.
In short
- Christian Wood and Amber Rose were seen dining in Beverly Hills.
