Dennis Rodman has gone through another dramatic transformation that has grabbed the eyes of the fans. The veteran is a former NBA star known for his defense and rebounding as an athlete.
Off the court, Rodman was one of the first players to express themselves using their body. He’s had a wide range of hair colors over the years that have changed constantly. The veteran also covered his body with tattoos, which was quite rare in the 1980s and 1990s.
In his latest Instagram post, Rodman is seen without a notable tattoo on his face. This particular ink was of his girlfriend, 30-year-old singer, Yella Yella, on his right cheek.

Rodman Recently Removed An Infamous Tattoo Of His Girlfriend
The former Detroit Pistons player got his girlfriend’s face tattooed on his face in July 2023. Chicago-based tattoo artist Van Johnson did the ink on Rodman’s right cheek.
The veteran’s girlfriend, Yella Yella, was asked by TMZ Sports about her boyfriend’s decision to get a tattoo of her on his face. According to the singer, she was against the decision.
“I actually told him not to do it,” she told the outlet. “I’m like, ‘What’re you doing?’ ”
Rodman’s recent Instagram post shows him without Yella Yella’s tattoo. This could mean the couple has parted ways; however, there isn’t any official confirmation. The former NBA player revealed that Yella Yella will be his last relationship.
The NBA Icon Has Had Many Famous Relationships
Rodman’s relationship with Yella Yella began in 2023. However, the veteran has been in many relationships over the past several years. Many female celebrities have been in a relationship with Rodman, one of the most popular being with the pop icon Madonna. The couple dated for a few months in 1994.
Another high-profile relationship Rodman had was with American actress Carmen Electra. Their relationship began in 1998, which led to their marriage in November of that year. It was shocking to see the couple filing for annulment just nine days after their wedding in 1998.
The Hall of Famer also had a relationship with Michell Moyer in 1999. They had two kids, DJ in 2001, and Trinity in 2002. They got married in 2003, but his wife filed for divorce in 2004. It is safe to assume that Rodman doesn’t have any more plans to marry. Rodman has openly stated that he doesn’t plan on getting into a relationship after his recent one.
