Mitchell Robinson is the longest-tenured player on the New York Knicks. He was selected with the 36th pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. From the moment he entered the league, Robinson showed flashes of dominance around the rim. His ability to block shots, finish alley-oops, and protect the paint. Over the years, he developed into one of the team’s defensive anchors

Off the court, Robinson made headlines when his high school coach William “Butch” Stockton’s wife died of cancer and he invited the man to New York to live with him so he didn’t have to grieve alone. Stockton accepted the offer. He has since returned to Louisiana and is coaching at Chalmette High School again, but he has traveled to catch Robinson and the Knicks in action when he can.

Robinson is also known as a family. Here’s more about his partner, Lindsey Luquet, and the other person he credits for making him a “better man.”

When Robinson started dating Luquet

Robinson and Luquet keep most of the details about their relationship private, but have shared some glimpses of their family life through social media posts.

The two have been together since around 2019. But they have remained so tight-lipped about the status of their relationship over the years that some outlets claimed they may have broken up, while others claimed they tied the knot.

What we do know about Luquet is that she was born in March and is a Pisces. She’s also a lifestyle content creator, according to her Instagram bio. She uses TikTok most often and is an Amazon partner.

How many children they have

Robinson and Luquet did make news in April 2023 when they announced that they were expecting thier first child together.

That June, Luquet had a baby shower, which was attended by friends, family, along with fellow NBA players and WAGS.  

Following the shower, Luquet posted about the day on Instagram and expressed her gratitude to everyone who attended, writing, “Thank you to all of our friends and family who came from near and far to celebrate with us! We’re so thankful baby girl has so many who love her already! Can’t wait to meet you, my princess.” 

Their daughter, Riley Robinson, was born on July 23, 2023.
