In the NBA, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a household name. The NBA standout spent 20 seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Lakers. Kareem also retired as the all-time leader in points scored, field goals made, and career wins, being hailed as the greatest of all time.

Kareem has gone through some great relationships and personal growth after retiring from a successful profession and humanitarian endeavor. Among Jabbar’s many relationships, we’ll be looking at his baby mom, Habiba Abdul-Jabbar, who had three children with him.

Janice Brown was her given name when she was born.

Kareem Abdul-ex-wife, Jabbar’s Habiba Abdul-Jabbar, was born in a Christian family such as Janice Brown, which is a little-known fact. She rose to popularity as Kareem Abdul-baby Jabbar’s mama, but following their divorce, she chose a life away from the spotlight.

Before marrying basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was also born Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor Jr., Janice changed her religion and name. His Muslim spiritual leader, Hamaas Abdul-Khaalis, chose the names of both Jabbar and his ex-wife, Habiba.

Although Janice (Habiba) Brown leads a private life, we were able to track her out through public records. Habiba Abdul-Jabbar, Kareem Abdul-ex-wife, Jabbar is an avid runner with a Facebook page called RunHabibaRun.

She is also the owner and designer of the Tutu Glam clothing line. The business creates glitzy and flamboyant tutu skirts.

Habiba, Kareem’s previous husband and a Hall of Famer, is a vibrant woman who has kept her youth well into her 70s. Let’s hope her allure continues indefinitely.

For the past seven years, Habiba Abdul-Jabbar married Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, as previously said, found solace in Islam and decided to convert. However, it appeared that his spouse must also be an Islamist, so his first wife, Janice Brown, converted to Islam and was renamed Habiba Abdul-Jabbar, which means “beloved.”

During Kareem’s senior year at UCLA, the former couple met at a Lakers game. After dating for a while, the couple decided to tie the knot. On May 28, 1971, the event was held according to Muslim norms.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was so committed to Islam that he didn’t even ask his parents to the wedding. Kareem revealed to America Aljazeera that he made the error of not inviting his parents, which took him a decade to fix.

He also said that he was so devoted to Islam that despite having a deep affection for another woman, he married a woman suggested by Hammas. As a result, the marriage was doomed from the beginning.

Three babies were welcomed into the world at the same time.

Despite the fact that Kareem and Habiba’s marriage lasted only seven years, they had three children together. Habiba Alcindor, one of Jabbar’s children, is a journalist, while Sultana Abdul-Jabbar has a private life.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Jr., Kareem Abdul-son, Jabbar’s too played basketball briefly before deciding to retire and live a quiet life. Despite the fact that their marriage did not work out, Kareem and Habiba were happy for a few years.

Kareem dropped the ‘divorce bomb’ while Habiba was just three months pregnant with their daughter, Sultana. Kareem has admitted that he passed through a primitive stage of evolution and made some poor mistakes as a result. Do you think telling a three-month-pregnant woman you’re divorcing counts as one?

Their Reason for Divorce

Kareem married against his teacher’s wishes as a devout Muslim and eventually divorced. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the NBA champion who wowed the world with his sky-hook, had an unconventional relationship with his ex-wife.

After their marriage and two children, Habiba and Kareem lived in different homes for a short time. Since 1973, the former partners had not lived together.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Kareem Abdul Jabbar confessed that no one had a greater impact on his life than Cheryl Pistono. Kareem’s belief appears to have been challenged by a woman who pushed him to seek a divorce from an estranged marriage.

When Habiba was three months pregnant with Sultana, Kareem revealed his desire to divorce. As a result, their marriage was dissolved in a religious ceremony, and later divorced in civil court at Kareem’s request.

In March 1983, their divorce was formalized. However, it is unknown whether Cheryl Pistono was involved in the divorce of the separated couple. In any case, Jabbar and Janice, alias Habiba, both moved on quickly. Kareem had already given birth to a son, Amir Abdul-Jabbar, when Habiba Jabbar, or Habiba J. Herbert, remarried in 1986 and gave birth to a son named Sean.

Let’s hope Habiba J Herbert stays well enough to continue jogging and share a smile with the world in the days ahead.
