A fresh rumor claiming Stephen A. Smith and First Take co-host Molly Qerim are dating has surfaced online and had fans going off as it was accompanied by a really spicy quote.
Speculation over a possible relationship between Smith and Molly, who used to be married to Jalen Rose, has been out there for over a year now. However, this week, a Twitter account going by the handle @TheNBACentel shared a new claim. The account is a parody of NBA Central, a reputable basketball news account with over 1.2 million followers, so it was able to slip under radars.
The tweet has already garnered north of half a million views and fans totally fell for the contents, which reads: “Stephen A. Smith and Molly Qerim are reportedly dating,” along with a quote now known to be fake.

Rose and Qerim got married in 2018 after going public with their relationship in 2016. Things appeared to be going great between the pair. But, in 2021, TMZ reported that Rose filed for divorce, which is what sparked the rumors of her sneaking around with Stephen A.
Rose confirmed the report on his Instagram account thereafter, revealing that he and Molly had already been separated for close to a year.
“After being separated for almost a year, Molly and I have officially decided to go our separate ways,” he wrote. “We both agree remaining friends and colleagues is the best course of action for our relationship moving forward. Please respect our privacy at this time.”
He has also addressed the claims involving Smith.
“I work with him [Smith], I got love for him, and that’s my brother. I got love for her, we were friends before we were married, we just didn’t work as a couple,” the former NBA star explained last year. “I just saw her today. We cool! But for me to see the speculation and for people to assume that was why, it bothered me.”
Rose was let go by ESPN late last month while Stephen A. and Molly remain with the company.

Social media might be down incredibly bad as Lucia from Grand Theft Auto is going insanely viral.
GTA 6’s trailer 2 officially broke a record after the upcoming second look at the game, which has continued to take forever to come out.
GTA 6 broke the record for the longest wait between a first and second trailer for a Rockstar Games title ever.
Rockstar has built a rich world of criminals, lunatics, and thieves spanning from Liberty City to San Andreas and beyond. With GTA 6 on the horizon, fans have become ecstatic after seeing a picture of Lucia.
For those unaware, she is a female criminal in the game. Grand Theft Auto states that she did her time at a prison complex in the State of Leonida in the mid-2020s for an unknown crime.
As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, a picture shows Lucia stripped down to a two-piece bikini.
