'Basketball Wives' sneak peek: Malaysia Pargo swoons by new guy Ron on a double date fixed by Cece and Byron
Malaysia Pargo, it seems, is opening up to the possibility of finding love again.
After finalizing her divorce with NBA player Jannero Pargo in 2014 (her husband of eight years), she briefly dated rapper O.T. Genesis, but things didn't work; and they eventually broke up. She, then decided, she wanted to embark on the path of celibacy. Well, that's definitely not happening anymore, because enter, Ron!
Malaysia's friend Cece, who is also dating her cousin Byron Scott, decided to double the fun with a double date! So, Cece got Ron to be Malaysia's date. Now, that man is definitely swoon-worthy.
There was a long-standing joke about the fact that there was only old folk at Cece’s party earlier this season. Ron, too, attended this party, and it looks like Malaysia is planning to end her dating sabbatical for him. Wise girl!
In a preview of the next episode, Cece and Byron - Malaysia and Ron are enjoying a double date. Things appear to be going well for all. Cece, in particular, is extremely happy to play matchmaker and go on a double date with someone from Byron’s family.
She wanted Malaysia to take her mind off all the drama that's been happening lately. And for another reason, she doesn't think she'll be going on a double date with Travis and Kristen anytime soon.
The date seems to have gone well; for there were a lot of laughs. The highlight of the evening was when Ron revealed to Malaysia that he has no chest hair. Something, Malaysia appeared to be cool with.
However, their next exchange put her off for a little. Malaysia snuck in a serious question - Does Ron have any children? Ron answered no while knocking on wood. Malaysia, a mother-of-three, was then reassured by Ron, who said that he loved children, he just never had any of his own.
Before anything else, let’s take a minute to focus on Malaysia’s look for the 'double date' thingy. She surely owned the night. Malaysia picked a long white thigh-high slit dress with a black bustier that accentuated her curves just the right way. She carried off that big Gucci belt around her dress pretty fabulously.
Speaking of her "sex symbol" tag, she said, "Dating for me is very awkward. People think I’m this sex symbol, but I’m actually really shy.”
She embraced her curves with the outfit, and it’s not the first time. Her Instagram handle is flooded with pictures of her flaunting her curves. Recently, she put up a series of posts featuring herself wearing a bright pink swimsuit. She captioned one of her pictures, where she can be seen sipping on a cold beverage, sitting on a wooden chair: "Toes in the sand, Momma getting fat...SNACK." The green bushes behind her added to the picturesque setting.
Malaysia’s caption was inspired by Beyoncé and JAY-Z's new song 'Boss.' She, of course, tweaked the lyrics a little so it would imply that she was getting fat instead of getting fat snacks, like in the song.
Her fans thought that she was commenting on her possible weight gain, so they reminded her of their love. A fan wrote, "[Malaysia] can get fat as you want, you [sic] still wifey!!" Another commented, "Your not fat, just voluptuous in all the right places."
She's often identified as Charlotte Bobcats player's ex-wife and star of 'Basketball Wives,' but Malaysia is much more than this. She is an entrepreneur, a jewelry designer who owns a jewelry line and even has her own bedding line.
Her net worth is a grand total of $3.5 million. Doing all this and raising three children on her own, she sure is one strong woman.
'Basketball Wives' airs Mondays at 9 pm on VH1.
