Who is Andre Drummond's baby mama?

Andre Drummond's son Deon King Drummond was born on February 21, 2019, to the NBA star and Instagram model Abigail Russo. There happened to be quite the scandal around the time of Deon's birth, as Drummond reportedly impregnated two women around the same time. Deon's mother Abigail announced her pregnancy shortly after his former girlfriend Elizabeth Costadoni announced hers. While Abigail gave birth to Deon in February 2019, Elizabeth's daughter Aubrey EllaRose Drummond was born in March that year. 

Abigail Russo, who has 2,716 followers on her Instagram, happens to be a wellness and beauty enthusiast. Her Instagram username also mentions "Fit Mom" aside from "Deon's mama" in bio. Besides posting reels of workout tutorials, Russo also shares gorgeous photos of herself quite often. 

It is not exactly known how Russo met Drummond, but she started attending his games and posting updates about her new love interest on social media around 2019. However, according to a shocking claim reported in Total Pro Sports, an anonymous person has hinted that Russo had a pimp. “I used to dance with Abigail Russo in Miami, she has a pimp. That’s not his girlfriend lol she wants clout that’s why she posted him. when she met Andre she deleted her Instagram and made a new one to make herself look like wife material. she is desperate to be wifed by an athlete. When the news released about Elizabeth being pregnant she pretended she was pregnant too lol. She is a stripper that sells her body. I believe Elizabeth’s baby is his, her highlight says bebe drumm. Elizabeth deleted all her pics of them on insta a couple months ago and Abigail seems like just a recent fling, I never see her around him besides that night," the claim stated. Russo had also been linked to another NBA player Ja Morant.

Abigail Russo has retained the custody of her son and regularly shares adorable pictures of him on Instagram. She appears to be an ideal mom who spends a lot of quality time with her adorable son. Meanwhile, Andre Drummond has proved to be a doting father and spends a lot of time bonding with the child. And now, he has emerged as a superhero and savior as well.
