Is Eiza Gonzalez Dating NBA Star Ben Simmons?
Eiza Gonzalez has reportedly been dating Brooklyn Nets star Ben Simmons for "a few months." However, the two have been trying to keep their romance a secret, Page Six reported.
A source told the outlet Page Six that the 33-year-old Mexican actress and the 26-year-old NBA star have "been hiding and trying not to get seen" together.
The couple, however, was forced to go public after a paparazzo caught them on a date in New York City on Friday. Simmons and Gonzalez were spotted exiting the Manhattan sushi restaurant Bondst, where they reportedly had dinner with friends.
"They weren't alone [for the dinner], but they are very clearly together," the insider noted. The pair did not show off any PDA and were only seen walking side by side before the actress reportedly went back to the NBA star's place.

Is Eiza Gonzalez Dating Ben Simmons?
After splitting up with Jason Momoa last year, Eiza Gonzales appeared to be available and single. They were rumored to have been together since February 2022, despite keeping their relationship under wraps.
According to an exclusive report by HollywoodLife, Gonzales was "excited" about the relationship at first, but it eventually fizzled out before anything serious could develop. The Daily Mail also reported that the reason for the alleged breakup between Gonzalez and Momoa was that they were "just very different people."
On the other hand, Ben Simmons broke up with Maya Jama, a British TV presenter, last August. It was rumored that the two became engaged for eight months before breaking up to focus on their careers.
The athlete's breakup with Maya followed his earlier breakup with Kendall Jenner. Since July 2018, Simmons and Jenner have dated on and off. They officially called it quit in May 2019.
Eiza Gonzalez and Ben Simmons
A Mexican musical soap in 2007 propelled Eiza Gonzalez to fame. Later, she had a recurring role in a teen drama series for a year on Nickelodeon called "Suena Conmigo."
The Nickelodeon part served as a terrific stepping stone in her Hollywood career. Aside from Jason Momoa, Gonzales has also dated Paul Rabil, Timothee Chalamet, and Josh Duhamel. There are also rumors that Gonzalez and Klay Thompson, a star player for the Golden State Warriors, hooked up in 2019.
Meanwhile, Ben Simmons's fans are eager to hear when he will return to court. The Brooklyn Nets are still struggling without Kevin Durant, and any assistance would be greatly appreciated, according to Sportskeeda.
Head coach Jacque Vaughn said neither Simmons nor T.J. Warren was ready to return. Despite this, Ben Simmons will likely not be playing on Saturday. However, his knee MRI findings returned clean on Friday, which bodes well for his return to the NBA floor.
