Dennis Rodman, NBA legend: “Madonna offered me $20 million to get her pregnant when she was ovulating”
The former player recalled the unexpected call he received from the Queen of Pop and the private jet ride he says he took to meet her.
Everyone has their own way of imagining and planning their future, but Madonna apparently knew exactly what she wanted at the time . At least, that's how Dennis Rodman remembers it. The former NBA star claims the singer once offered him $20 million to get her pregnant .
Dennis Rodman received a call from Madonna while playing in Las Vegas
Rodman recalled that he was in Las Vegas when someone told him Madonna wanted to speak with him . His first reaction was to assume someone was playing a prank on him, but once he realized the call was genuine, he decided to answer.
On the other end of the line was the singer, who, according to Rodman, got straight to the point: she told him she was ovulating . The former basketball player admitted that he didn't immediately understand exactly what she meant, but he soon figured out why she was calling. His response was quick: he would be with her in five hours.
To make that happen, he left the dice on the table, asked someone to hold his spot and headed straight for the airport. According to his account, Madonna had sent a private jet to fly him from Las Vegas to New York, where she was waiting for him .
But the story didn't end with that trip. During the conversation, Rodman was also asked whether Madonna had later wanted to know if he had managed to get her pregnant. The former NBA star said yes, although he didn't share any further details.
Dennis Rodman and Madonna dated in 1990
Their story didn't come out of nowhere. Dennis Rodman and Madonna were romantically involved in 1990, when both were making headlines for very different reasons .
He was beginning to establish himself as a force in the NBA, thanks to his extraordinary defensive skills and dominance on the boards. She, meanwhile, was experiencing one of the biggest periods of her career and continuing to cement her status as one of pop music's biggest stars.
Although they came from completely different worlds, both had larger-than-life personalities that made them hard to ignore.
