LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Selling Sunset' star Amanza Smith started dating international land developer David LaQua in 2023. However, there's no update on the duo's current relationship status but they still follow each other on social media which is the positive hint.

However, Amanza has previously been in a relationship with some well-known personalities, including, JC Chasez, singer Danny O'Donoghue, and actor and Broadway star Taye Diggs. The Netflix star's previous relationships have left emotional scars on her life. Amanza has been married to former NFL star Ralph Brown which ended in a travesty.

The duo divorced just two years after their marriage but continued to happily co-parent their kids until Ralph went missing for months. The Netflix star hired a private investigator to find the truth and later discovered that Ralph had signed papers relinquishing all custody of the children. The former NFL star claimed that he could no longer be a parent as his body was "broken down" due to football.
