Amar'e Stoudemire - Personal Life

Personal Life

Stoudemire has three children with his fiancée, Alexis Welch. The couple, together since 2002, became engaged in June 2012 and plan to wed in 2013.

In a 2010 interview, Stoudemire said, "I have been aware since my youth that I am a Hebrew through my mother, and that is something that has played a subtle but important role in my development." He visited Israel that year, saying he intended "to get a better understanding of heritage."

In the early morning hours of February 6, 2012, Stoudemire's older brother, Hazell, was killed in a car accident in Polk County, Florida. He was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
