Blake Griffin is officially single as of 2020. Of course, he is caught by paparazzi with this or that beautiful girl, spending a great time in the café or the restaurant from time to time, but there’s no lady, whom he introduced to his fans as his sweetheart officially.
Previously, he cohabited with Brynn Cameron, a female basketball player, and fathered two kids with her. In spite of their separation in 2017, Brynn remains an important woman in his life, because she is a mother of his son and daughter.
Brynn Elaine Cameron is a Californian-born girl. She is one of four kids in the family of Stan and Cathy Cameron. She has a sister and two brothers. She studied at Newbury Park High School and even as a pupil, she was playing for the basketball team. The girl had a talent, so no wonder she chose sport as a career. She continued playing, being the student of the University of Southern California. In 2004-2006 she had to make a pause in her career because of a hip injury. Besides, Brynn gave birth to her first son, Cole. She had him with Matt Leinart, a professional football player. In 2007 she returned to the university and continued playing. In 2010 she gained some kudos as an actress and appeared in the drama “Southland of the Heart”. In 2011 she crossed her ways with Blake Griffin. The two fell in love with each other and then moved together. In 2012 Brynn got pregnant and on August 1, 2013, she gave birth to her common son with Blake, Ford Wilson Cameron-Griffin. Three years later, in September 2016 the couple welcomed a sweet baby girl, Finley Elaine Griffin. In 2017 the couple split and Brynn started a court process against her ex, having blamed him for violating his father’s duties. After a year the process was finalized, and two ex-partners set the deal. Now Blake spends a lot of time with his kids.
He is the second son of his mother and the first son of his dad. The boy was born in summer, 2013 and was immediately named by Blake’s fans as “the future basketball star, which should be traded immediately”. No wonder, because Ford has great basketball players among his ancestors from his mother’s and father’s sides.
Currently, the boy lives with his mother, but he spends enough time with his father, too. He attends a prestigious private school.
Finley is Blake’s daughter. She was just one year old when her parents split. The girl has turned 3 years in September 2019. That day she spent in the company of her older brother Ford and their father Blake. They visited Disneyland.
By the way, Blake Griffin enjoys the status of a father. In his interview with “GQ”, he confessed that parenthood changed him for better.

Blake has warm close relationships with his mother. Of course, she played an important part in his formation, in building his character and in developing his natural athletic skills.
The famous basketball player is biracial. His father is Afro-Haitian, while his mother is Caucasian. Gail Simmons, who changed her surname for “Griffin” after marriage, gave birth to two sons. She worked as a teacher at the Oklahoma school. She balanced her career with family life.
The woman is not an alien in the sports area. She was a cheerleader at Classen High School, which she attended as a teenager. At that very school, she met Tommy, who became her loved one and the father of her two sons, one of which is Blake Griffin.
The woman visits her son’s games from time to time, so her face has already become recognizable.
Of course, Blake put lots of effort to become a successful renowned athlete, but his father was that person, who inspired and coached him at the initial stages of his career.
Tommy played basketball in his young years. Later he coached the young talented teenagers at Oklahoma Christian School, including both his sons. Besides, he owned a gym, where Blake and Taylor were trained, too.
