Who is Khris Middleton's girlfriend?

Born on August 12, 1991, James Khristian Middleton attended high school at the Porter-Gaud School in Charleston, South Carolina. As a junior and senior, he was named South Carolina Player of the Year and was a McDonald's All-American nominee. After being recruited by Scott Spinelli, he went on to play college basketball for Texas A&M University, where he started the majority of the games in his freshman year. In his sophomore season, he earned second-team All-Big 12 honors after leading the Aggies in scoring with 14.3 points per game. Middleton was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the 39th overall pick of the 2012 NBA draft. He received his first All-Star selection in 2019.

Middleton is dating Samantha Dutton for quite some years now. Dutton was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Even though the couple keeps their love life person, Middleton's account has some beautiful family pictures. On April 23, 2019, Middleton and Dutton welcomed their first daughter, Audrielle. In order to be there for the birth, Middleton got on a plane to Milwaukee with Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry shortly after a playoff win over the Detroit Pistons. 

Middleton's performance on the Sunday game was much appreciated by his fans on Twitter. As one person said, "Khris Middleton really just decided the game was over that's wild." While another one said, "This Middleton masterclass better than any Harden playoff performance i’m afraid."

One person tweeted, "Khris Middleton just had a more clutch playoff performance than James Harden has ever had." Zora Stephenson said, " KHRIS KLUTCH MIDDLETON! 38 pts…yes! Even with that…it’s not always how many you make, but WHEN you make them. On time & on target. Big 4th quarter for Kmidd. Bucks up 2-1 #FearTheDeer."

One fan said, "Middleton is the Bucks unsung hero tbh." Calling it "crazy" another one wrote, "I’m not even a harden fan but it’s odd how many strays he catches on here when it’s the postseason. Middleton’s fourth qtr was crazy tho he flipped the switch"
