Rudy Gobert Breaks Up With Pregnant GF, Tells Her To Leave Home With 1-Year-Old

UPDATE

5:15 PM PT — Julia Bonilla just addressed the situation in a lengthy social media post … calling the whole ordeal “one of the most painful times in my life.”

“I considered Rudy the love of my life,” Bonilla said minutes ago. “I left everything for him. I gave him a child and poured my heart into our relationship.”

“When everyone criticized him and insulted him, I stood by him, always putting him first and choosing him, always.”

“Despite how I have been treated, I choose to protect his name for the sake of my children,” she added.

Bonilla also noted she has “NEVER EVER been unfaithful to the father of my children” … adamantly denying cheating played a role in the split.

“I am a mom and I must prioritize my health and well-being.”

Rudy Gobert broke up with his pregnant girlfriend, told her to move out of his home and take their one-year-old son with her right at the start of the NBA playoffs, TMZ Sports has learned.

Sources close to the wives and girlfriends of Timberwolves players tell us the split was a bit of a shocker … considering Julia Bonilla and baby Romeo were spotted at Minnesota’s final regular season game on April 13.

In fact, 32-year-old Gobert went up to them after the game for a warm embrace … so all appeared to be completely normal with the family.

But, we’re told things changed some time after Bonilla revealed she was pregnant with their second child … and Gobert is now a single man.

Our sources say Bonilla hoped to move back to her home country of France following the split … but the four-time Defensive Player of the Year wants her and Romeo to stay in the States so they can figure out child custody after the Wolves’ season comes to an end.

We’re told Gobert has lawyered up and his reps have applied pressure to ensure she stays in Minnesota.

We actually talked to Gobert back in March 2024 — right before his first son was born — and he said it was a “blessing” to have a child entering the world.

As we previously reported, Bonilla was outspoken in her support of the 32-year-old French hooper … and defended him after his peers voted him the most overrated player in the league.

Gobert and the Wolves are currently in a playoff run … and the big man played a major role in their series wins over the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors.

We’ve reached out to Gobert’s side for comment … and his agent, Bouna Ndiaye, told us his company has zero interest in ever speaking with TMZ Sports about any of its clients.
