Has Shannon Sharpe, sports media’s favorite uncle, ever been married? Who has the TV personality dated before? Throughout his famed career, the NFL Hall-of-Famer has been keeping his personal life away from the spotlight. Here are some, if not all, of Shannon Sharpe’s previous recorded relationships. From failed engagements to shooting shots with an adult film star, here’s everything you need to know about Unc Shannon’s private love life.
Erika Evans (1992-2004)
Shannon Sharpe was only becoming an NFL star in the early ’90s. But, on October 16, 1992, two years after being drafted, Sharpe would be blessed with his first child named Kayla. At the time, the identity of his baby mama was unknown. But, it all changed when Kayla’s mother, Erika Evans, came out of the shadows in 2004 and sued Sharpe for battery and misconduct. It was a huge scandal for the then-NFL star who retired in the same year.
Since then, Sharpe has had two more children, a girl named Kaley and a boy named Kiari. But, just like Evans (pre-2004), these baby mamas’ identities were not shared with the public.
Michele Bundy (2010)
After retiring, Sharpe moved on to being a sports analyst and hosting NFL shows. He has been busy with his new job, which he would keep up until today. But, in 2010, former Baltimore Ravens’ star Tight End faced another scandal after a woman named Michele Bundy accused him of s*xual assault. According to Bundy, Shannon Sharpe assaulted her, threatened her life, and stalked her.
Back then, it was rumored that it was just a failed affair and that Bundy just wanted to get back at Sharpe. Nevertheless, Unc was acquitted of all of the charges filed against him.
Katy Kellner (2013-2018)
In 2012, Sharpe met fitness enthusiast Katy Kellner at the Thousand Oaks gym in California. Less than a year later, the two were already constantly seen together, making the relationship rumors true.

It seems as if Sharpe would finally get married. Then, in 2016, they would be finally engaged privately. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. Shannon parted ways with Katy in 2018 after the latter allegedly cheated and got pregnant with another athlete, professional baseball player Marlon Byrd.
Nicole Murphy (rumored relationship in 2017)
In 2017, Shannon Sharpe‘s alleged relationship with Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife Nicole Murphy was a very hot topic. They would follow each other on social media, post subtle hints, and were even spotted together going out on dates.
Sharpe’s fans were already speculating that, although he is still engaged to Katy Kellner, the TV personality already found another lover. He was indeed eyeing Nicole, but ultimately, it stayed as rumors and neither of them never confirmed if they ever had a relationship.

It’s already 2023 and Shannon Sharpe is still single. He’s never been married, at least according to him. The NFL legend is now 55 years old but is still looking young for his age. Moreover, his career as a television host is still going strong as he joins Stephen A. Smith in ESPN’s First Take. Honestly, he’s one of the most beloved celebrities right now, but he isn’t a perfect man. He admitted he was a terrible parent and that he loved his profession more than his girlfriends and children.
Meanwhile, just recently, TV’s favorite uncle, Unc Shannon Sharpe, discussed an intriguing topic with Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson during the Nightcap with Unc and Ocho podcast which turned a lot of people’s heads. Ocho proposed that Sharpe should take the 39-year-old actress Yvonne Orji as a partner, to which the famous sports analyst declined and said he wants “a sinner”. Unc Shannon made it more controversial by shooting his shot with popular social media icon Miss B Nasty who had Ochocinco hysterical. They aren’t dating now, but who’s to say they won’t be hooking up real soon?
