It looks like Rudy Gobert and his now-former girlfriend, Julia Bonilla, had a complicated breakup. Pregnant with their second child, Julia shared her side of the story on social media in May 2025 — and she didn’t hold back.
“I’m going through one of the most painful times in my life, feeling isolated, far from my family and friends,” Bonilla wrote on her Instagram Stories after news broke about their split. “I considered Rudy the love of my life. I left everything for him. I gave him a child and poured my heart into our relationship. … When everyone criticized him and insulted him, I stood by him, always putting him first and choosing him, always. Despite how I have been treated, I choose to protect his name for the sake of my children.”
Julia added that she has “NEVER EVER been unfaithful to the father of my children.” Rudy confirmed their breakup and claimed he will “keep supporting the well-being of all the people that I care about,” according to TMZ.

That year, Rudy and Julia took a trip to Utah together when he played for the Jazz at the time.
“My girlfriend is here for the first time, so we showed her the little hike that I used to go all the time,” the basketball center told KSL Sports in March 2024. “It was hard for her because she’s pregnant but she really enjoyed it, and she knows how much it means to me and how much Utah is a part of me, so it was cool.”
