In 1992, she married Sedale Threatt, a retired American basketball player in the NBA.
Sedale played in the NBA from 1983 to 1997.
He had the nickname “The Thief” from his ability to steal the ball from unaware opponents. From 1991 to 1995, he played a starting point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers.
They got divorced after three years. One of the reasons behind their divorce was the alleged love letter written by Dr. Dre to Nicole. In the letter, Dr. Dre asks Nicole to leave Sedale.
