The couple met each other through mutual friends and started dating in 2020. Their relationship got serious soon after. Oubre proposed to Shylynnitaa in December 2020. In July 2021, she gave birth to their first child, a baby girl, and named her Malibu.

Kelly Oubre Jr. believes marriage was the right step in his relationship with Shylynnitaa
Kelly Oubre Jr. reflected on his marriage to Shylynnitaa during an interview with "People". He said he believed it was the right step in their relationship.
The Charlotte Hornets star said:
"We wanted to take the next steps and give our love to God, for his seal of approval.
"We know that it's a rarity in our generation for relationships to get that far, and we also made a pact to break a curse that has been in both of our families for lifetimes, we just were ready to be together forever and what better way to do that than to tie the knot."
Oubre and his partner have taken strong steps in their relationship since they started dating only two years ago. One can tell that the couple seem extremely happy together and share a strong bond.
Oubre will be hoping a settled personal life gets him into a positive mindset ahead of his eighth season in the NBA. He is one of the best role players around but is yet to achieve significant individual or collective success.
