Cops called to Kevin Garnett’s apartment after his heated argument with girlfriend Teare Candelier

Kevin Garnett found himself in the middle of some personal drama after his girlfriend reportedly called the police during a tense argument late last month. Approximately one week after Teare Candelier called the police around 2 a.m. on Sunday, April 27, during a domestic argument at their Los Angeles residence, the retired NBA player and his partner released a joint statement.
"We deeply regret that a personal disagreement escalated and inappropriately involved authorities," the couple wrote in a joint statement on Sunday. "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 added.


The statement was issued after news sources reported that police responded to an intense argument between Garnett and Candelier at their home. According to insiders, Garnett had already left when officers arrived, but a report was still filed. Sources claim the argument did not become physical, except when Garnett moved Candelier from a doorway while trying to leave. Candelier reportedly declined medical attention.
This incident isn't Garnett's first legal issue involving a partner. In 2023, Necat Akman, who stated Garnett was the father of her child, won a custody case that resulted in a court-mandated child support agreement. In court documents, Garnett officially recognised himself as the father of a young girl named Naya Garnett, signing a statement confirming his biological paternity. The agreement stipulated that Naya would reside in New York with her mother, Akman, who would have sole legal and physical custody. Garnett was granted visitation rights, with specifics to be determined later.
