Donte DiVincenzo has been with Morgan Calantoni since 2017, forming a long-lasting relationship that has endured as his basketball career progressed. The couple met while DiVincenzo played for Villanova and Calantoni cheered for their rival team, the Temple Owls, during his college years.
DiVincenzo was drafted by the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks in 2018 and has since played for various teams, including the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Calantoni has consistently supported DiVincenzo throughout his career and recently gave birth to their son, Kai, in 2024. The couple has shared their love for animals, including several pet dogs, and DiVincenzo has spoken about their future plans to establish a rescue dog facility after his NBA career.
Morgan Calantoni hails from Pennsylvania, where she was raised. In 2022, her father, George, passed away from ALK-positive lung cancer, and since then, she has advocated for awareness surrounding this type of cancer. Calantoni has honored her late father through heartfelt tributes on Instagram, reflecting on their special bond.
She attended Temple University in Philadelphia from 2015 to 2019, majoring in strategic communication. During her time there, she earned multiple academic honors, including being named to the dean’s list and receiving student athlete awards.
Calantoni was also actively involved in the Public Relations Student Society of America and worked as an instructor with the Universal Cheerleaders Association. The two met in 2017 when DiVincenzo was still at Villanova and Calantoni was a cheerleader for Temple, two teams that are fierce rivals in the Philadelphia Big 5.
Calantoni and DiVincenzo’s son, Kai, was born in April 2024. She shared the joyful news on Instagram, with a post celebrating the arrival of their child, saying, “Life is so much better with you in it.” Prior to giving birth, Calantoni shared glimpses of her pregnancy, including a post showing off her baby bump with the caption “Soon.”
In her professional life, Calantoni has worked in marketing. She initially began her career with Sidelines Sportswear & Promotions as a marketing coordinator, managing social media accounts and email campaigns.
Later, she took on a role as a marketing project manager at Everything Clicks from February 2021 to March 2024. Her colleagues at Everything Clicks have praised her energy and collaborative spirit.
Calantoni and DiVincenzo are both passionate about dogs, a shared love that has been a prominent part of their relationship. DiVincenzo’s affection for animals is well-known, with reports highlighting his visits to the Wisconsin Humane Society during his time with the Milwaukee Bucks. Calantoni has also shared photos of her dogs on social media.
The couple has been exploring the idea of opening a rescue dog facility, a project they have been planning for years. In 2024, DiVincenzo mentioned that they are in the process of learning more about dog rescue foundations to ensure they do things the right way.
