Dream Alijha’s mother and father, Allen and Tawanna, met during their high school days. They developed an instant connection with one another and began dating since then. After a decade of staying in a romantic relationship, Tawanna and Allen took the wedding vows in 2001.
Dream’s momma was always there for Allen through his dark days of serving in the jail and other difficult days. For several years, they were living a happy life with their five beautiful children.
However, various issues created a crack in their marital life. And Tawanna filed for divorce twice in 2009 and some months later in the same year. At first, Allen pleaded with his then-wife, Tawanna, for its withdrawal. But, she stayed still in her decision. As a result, their divorce proceeding got finalized in 2013, with Dream’s mother walking away with $3 million.
There might be several reasons for their separation. One of Tawanna’s main reason for divorce revealed to the media is Allen’s addiction to alcoholism, gambling, and infidelity, wasting his fortune amassed from his NBA career. Iverson admitted the accusations of his baby mama, Tawanna, blaming his fast NBA lifestyle.
However, the love of their daughters and sons made the estranged couples reconcile soon after. They got back together and focused on raising their youngsters and rebuilding their relationship. After Allen retired from his playing days, Allen and Tawanna settled in Georgia, North Carolina with their children.
