GRACE ALLEN – WIFE OF RICARDO ALLEN
Ricardo met his wife, Grace Allen when she was pursuing her Bachelor’s degree in Purdue University. This is also where Kawann Short, Ricardo’s former teammate introduced them. As they developed their platonic encounter, to some degree, Grace and Kawann became good friends, and so eventually he asked her out. At the time, Grace thought Ricardo’s name was Albert and she was calling her that name all throughout their first hangout. When they all parted ways, she then realized that she had been calling Ricardo’s name wrong all along. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that embarrassing moment would turn into something else.
They started dating but theirs was a short-lived romance but got back together and the two ended up in marriage in April 2015. They are blessed with two kids – living a happy family life. Grace Ellen has been the supportive wife to Ricardo and the best mom to their kids. She makes it a point to cheer her husband in his games while making sure that their children are well taken care of.
