Alijah Arenas' mom, Laura Govan, stepped out on Thursday to support popular comedian and actor Cedric the Entertainer at the grand opening of his new restaurant, AC Barbeque. She wasn't the only familiar face at the celebration; actor and co-owner Anthony Anderson and American rapper MC Lyte were also in attendance.
Govan gave fans a quick glimpse of the event on her Instagram story, sharing a short video clip alongside a caption that read:
"So proud of my family. Doing big things and making major moves…"

In the video, Laura Govan, Cedric the Entertainer, and other celebrities posed for the camera inside the newly opened AC Barbeque restaurant.
In another Instagram Story post, Govan captured a candid moment of guests placing their orders as the co-owners, including Cedric the Entertainer and Anthony Anderson, stood behind the counter, smiling proudly. She captioned the picture:
"So proud."

Govan, a well-known TV personality, is also the proud mom of a talented basketball family. Her son, Alijah Arenas, is a five-star high school prospect committed to playing for the USC Trojans next season.
She's also the mother of Louisville Cardinals guard Izela Arenas, Notre Dame prospect Hamiley Arenas, and Aloni and Samaya Arenas, who are all from her previous relationship with former NBA star Gilbert Arenas.
Aside from her regular celebrity and media lifestyle, Govan uses her social media platforms to proudly support and celebrate her children as they pursue their basketball dreams. She shares and celebrates each milestone they achieve, casual family moments, and exciting game-day clips.
Govan and her family recently went through a difficult time after Alijah Arenas was involved in a serious car crash that put him in an induced coma. Thankfully, he's back home without major injuries, doing well, and on his way to full recovery.
