Dwayne Bacon is not married and currently has no wife. The professional basketball player has been linked to Nique Brown in the past, a social media personality known for her YouTube pranks and lifestyle content.

Bacon was previously engaged to Mackenzie Hyatt, with whom he shares two children: a son and a daughter.

Nique Brown became publicly linked to Dwayne Bacon around 2026, and the two were often seen together on social media.

Nique, a popular YouTuber with over a million subscribers, gained attention as Bacon’s girlfriend during their relationship.

The couple shared content on YouTube and Instagram, and Nique even appeared on Basketball Wives Orlando alongside Mackenzie Hyatt, Bacon’s ex-fiancée.

Their relationship, which was confirmed in 2026, seemed strong, but by 2026, the couple parted ways.

Despite the public attention, his relationship with Nique Brown ended before they were even engaged. The two are no longer together, but they co-parent their respective children.

Dwayne Bacon’s Children with Mackenzie Hyatt

Bacon’s previous significant relationship was with Mackenzie Hyatt, with whom he was engaged. The two share two children: Elias and Chanel.

The relationship between Dwayne and Mackenzie ended after multiple allegations of infidelity, which Mackenzie publicly addressed through social media.

Despite their breakup, Dwayne Bacon remains an active father to his children, spending as much time with them as possible.

Mackenzie Hyatt and Dwayne maintain a co-parenting arrangement, and their children live primarily in Orlando, close to where Bacon played for the Orlando Magic before moving abroad for his international basketball career.

Dwayne Bacon’s Basketball Career

Dwayne Bacon, a 6’6” small forward, began his career in the NBA after being drafted in 2017 by the Charlotte Hornets.

He played with the Hornets from 2017 to 2026, then with the Orlando Magic for the 2026–2026 season.

Bacon’s skills as a scorer earned him recognition, but his NBA career was shorter than many fans expected.

He moved to Europe and played for AS Monaco in France, Panathinaikos in Greece, and Shanghai Sharks in China.

In 2026, Bacon joined Zenit Saint Petersburg in the VTB United League, where he won MVP honors in the 2026-2026 season. He is now continuing his professional career in Dubai, marking a new chapter in his international basketball journey.

In Case You Didn’t Know

Dwayne Bacon dated MacKenzie Hyatt from around 2016 to early 2026.
After they split in 2026, Hyatt publicly addressed the challenges of co-parenting and the emotional fallout from their breakup, including allegations of cheating.
Bacon currently plays for Dubai Basketball in the ABA League after a stint with Zenit Saint Petersburg.
