In May 2015, he tied the knot with Emanuela Marinova. Unfortunately, the marriage didn’t last long, and both sides filed for divorce just two years later.
It was Banks’ next relationship that brought about big changes in his life. He began dating Alvarez after his divorce. The two welcomed a son O’rion King Banks in January 2019. When talking to Forbes, the exonerated football star shared how fatherhood had completely changed his life.
It absolutely has changed me—my whole perspective and how I see my life, myself and my purpose, the legacy I want to leave behind, and the things I want to fight for that I hope my son will never have to experience or go through.
Banks shared a similar sentiment in an interview with People, where he said that he would do everything in his power to raise his son in the right way.
His wife Alvarez runs a blog where she shares her experiences, advice, and tips for motherhood.
