Oakland native and host of NBA Today , Malika Andrews is a sports lover both on and off the court who loves spending time with her family. She first began reporting on sports as an undergraduate student at the University of Portland. Upon graduation, she interned for the Denver Post , worked for the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune . Malika began her career by covering the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks, soon gaining coverage of the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets. Named one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30, her determination in combination with her age have granted her much respect from her industry. And, her love for sports is one of the many interests that she shares with her significant other, who is also a part of the ESPN family. Here’s what we know about the reporter and Dave McMenamin, Malika Andrews’ husband.
Who Is Malika Andrews?
Debuting as the youngest sideline reporter for a broadcast, in 2020, Malika Andrews is a driven sports reporter who credits her family’s support with sustaining her in the sports industry. It also helped her to overcome mental health struggles in her adolescence. As a teen, it was the decision of her parents, Mike Andrews, a personal trainer, and Caren Andrews, an artist, to send her away to programs/institutions geared towards self-sufficiency and healing. Malika reports that she is still on her healing journey, according to a tell-all interview with People and is proud to share her story, especially if it can help someone else. The reporter’s strength continues to play a role in her personal and professional life.
Malika Andrews’ Husband-To-Be Is ESPN Reporter Dave McMenamin
Though much of this can be seen in her career-related endeavors, Malika has managed to keep the dealings of her romantic relationship pretty private. Her fiancé, who does not appear in her social media feed, is reported to be ESPN sports writer and reporter, Dave McMenamin. The entrepreneur is also known as a social media influencer and co-author, whose book ‘Return of the King: LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Greatest Comeback in NBA History,’ was a New York Times Bestseller.
A sports buff in his own right, the multihyphenate and his fiancée have been spotted together attending several industry events together since 2022. He’s spent the last almost 20 years building a connection not only with the athletes that he covers, but fans of the sports teams that he’s covered.
Where The Couple Is Now
It’s been documented that the two sports reporters began dating in 2022 and lived together in New York prior to Malika’s move to her current home in Los Angeles. The move was no indication of turmoil in the relationship, as Malika was seen wearing an engagement ring during broadcasts shortly thereafter. No other signs of being linked have been released by the couple, and neither of them have spoken to their relationship. Outside of being spotted at industry events, it’s unknown when and how they spend their time. In maintaining the privacy of their relationship, they have shifted the focus to their careers. We wish them both joy and success in their personal and professional dealings!
