In May, less than 6 months ago, Rondo’s babys mother and partner for more than a decade Ashley Bachelor, 36, claims that the NBA star pulled a gun on her and his children and threatened to kill her during a heated altercation.
Police are still investigating the incident, and Rondo has yet to be charged, but Ashley was granted an emergency protective order in Louisville – granting protection for her and the children. Ashley later asked for a lift of the protective order a month later, after the couple “reached an agreement.”
Now Media Take Out has learned that Rondo has moved on, and recently got engaged to a new woman, designer Latoia Fitzgerald. Rondo and Latoia’s relationship overlapped with Ashley. And Ashley’s friends refer to Latoia as “the side piece,” Media Take Out confirmed.
But she’s definitely Rondo’s main now. The NBA star proposed to her after her fashion show, which was a huge success during NY’s Fashion Week.

36-year-old Ashley, Rondo’s longtime partner and mother of his two kids, claims the 2x NBA champ and 4x All-Star — was playing video games with his son on May 11. When Ashley asked the boy to separate laundry. Bachelor says Rajon became enraged and ripped the game console out of the wall in front of the kid.
Here’s how TMZ described what Ashley alleges happened on that fateful night:
Rajon [made] a death threat, allegedly saying, “You’re dead.”[social_warfare]
Rondo temporarily left the home, according to Ashley, before returning about 15 minutes later, when he allegedly approached a back door and began banging on the window with his gun.
Bachelor says she didn’t know what was going on, so she approached the door from the inside to take a look. She allegedly saw Rondo with the weapon and asked him to stop because he was scaring her. She says Rondo didn’t listen, and instead yelled, “Go get my f**king son!”
Ashley says she feared if she didn’t comply with the alleged gun-wielding hoops star something bad may happen, so she brought their son, Pierre, downstairs, but kept the backdoor closed.
Soon after, Ashley says Pierre opened the door and Rondo “yanked him outside.”
Bachelor says Rondo, who was still allegedly holding his gun, was screaming at Pierre, asking why the boy was scared of his dad.
Ashley, who claims her son was “visibly upset,” says she didn’t intervene because she was scared Rajon would shoot her.
