Suns’ Deandre Ayton seen in video with porn star
Phoenix Kiss #PhoenixKiss
Deandre Ayton has NBA cyberspace going off the rails about his apparent girlfriend.
The 25-year-old Phoenix Suns center was seen with Katt Leya, who’s been described as a social media model and adult film star, in a video she shared recently on Snapchat.
Ayton brushed her hair while the pair laughed in the clip, which has since made it ways around social media.
Leya addressed the buzz around the video in a message on her Instagram Story, which read: “Wow now my man can’t brush my hair! You guys are stressed out, let me live.”
The blonde, who has nearly one million followers on Instagram, shared a photo of the couple toasting red wine during a dinner date.
“Sunday home cooked meals,” Leya wrote in the caption, although it is unclear where they dined.

Another photo showed the pair sharing a kiss at the table.
In a separate post on her Instagram Story, Leya shut down comparisons to Pelicans star Zion Williamson, who was entangled in a saga involving former adult film actress Moriah Mills in July.
Leya shared a photo with Ayton at a dinner table in Portland, which was dated Dec. 29, 2019, and wrote: “2019…. So stop the Zion comparison.”

Ayton has not yet confirmed a romance with Leya.
The five-year veteran, who was the No. 1 pick overall in the 2018 NBA Draft, has a two-year-old son, Deandre Ayton Jr., from a previous relationship.

As for Williamson?
Mills threatened to release what she said were sex tapes with the NBA star and also shared screenshots of an apparent Snapchat exchange with Williamson — one of which implied an offer to fund her move to New Orleans.
Mills’ allegations came after Williamson’s apparent girlfriend, Ahkeema, announced they’re expecting a baby girl together.
Williamson has not yet confirmed the pregnancy — nor has he addressed the situation with Mills.

Meanwhile, on the basketball court.
Ayton — who signed a four-year, $133 million maximum contract extension with the Suns in July 2022 — was at the center of trade rumors this summer after being benched in the 2023 playoffs.
The Suns ultimately decided to keep Ayton to play alongside Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and newly acquired guard Bradley Beal, according to a June report from Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes.
Williamson did not play after January due to a hamstring injury.
He signed a five-year, $193 million rookie max contract last summer with escalators up to $231 million, which begins in the 2023-24 season.
