Reply-to:Cooling off period is different for all people. It could happen I go from a bad relationship to finding the love of my life in weeks and months. Nothing is really a rule when it comes to love.

That's certainly true, but it's the exception to the rule.  In general, if you don't find some emotional space in between relationships, then you're just trying to avoid dealing with the pain of the break up.

To the person speaking about this site calling Dirk a womanizer & now JO a gold digging "wh*re", none of these details are new.  There's always been a lot of discussion about Dirk (faithful or not) especially after Crystal said he was always sexing someone & that she knew about him cheating on her. As far as JO's reputation, well, if you've ever spent even a little time on the "social scene" in Dallas, then you'd already know about her.

Of course Dirk's not expecting a virgin, but that's not the same as saying that you want to be with a woman who, when you go into a room, she's slept with 3 out over ten men. The circles that very wealthy people travel in are small, if you haven't kept yourself to yourself...then your next man is going to be going where many of his contemporaries have been before.

I agree with earlier poster, I think Dirk is settling b/c he's older and ready for a family. Really quite a shame. She won't love his kids (if she can have them) and they's divorce sooner rather than later.

Missed an "o," but I think we all should know what it means.

Reply-to:Its nothing wrong with being a serial mongamist. If Dirk is like that, it would be commendable.


What is a "mongamist"?   lol

Oh to Sally when one gets out of a serious relationship (im mean he was going to marry her!!) and within a matter of months jumps into another serious relationship 9 out of 10 times its a rebound relationship. One needs to have some type of cooling off period just to be alone, but Dirks hates to be alone so........

Sallie (with an ie) here.  Just letting you know that I'm not the one who posted that message, although I agree with the cooling off part before getting involved with someone else.  I'd take being alone anytime over being in a bad relationship.  Not to say that's the case with Dirk though. 

Peace out 

Reply-to:Everything is not in an article sweetie. Some people actually know more than u think!

Or they just make it up.

Reply-to:How much younger is Jessica than Dirk?

I think about three years younger.  Noone seems to know her exact birthday but Bild said last year she was 30 and now they say she is 31.  Since Bild reporters have met her maybe they asked her or maybe they asked Dirk.

Reply-to:Its nothing wrong with being a serial mongamist. If Dirk is like that, it would be commendable.

I agree.  And being a monogamist doesn't mean you haven't lived or are naive and unable to make your own decisions.

Reply-to:I was about to say the same thing. Date 100 people or go 10 years without never getting into a serious relationship.  dont most women have a few boyfriends in their past. No, Ive never heard anything about her being with a whole lot of guys. It seems like people are just writing anything on this board, factual or not.

That is what many do on this site, just make stuff up and see if someone will believe them. Dirk has always protected his private life but more so after the whole Crystal situation.  And for some weird reason people try to fill in the blanks on their own.  

Reply-to:Yes, you are in fact very rude and obviously pathetic

Reply-to:Your lack of intelligence is pretty offensive.  Anyways, my original response to you was not rude in anyway, so I am not sure why you took it like that.  I was simply correcting the misinformation you posted.


Yes, you are in fact very rude and obviously pathetic. 

Reply-to:Besides Dirk who else has she been linked to? Ive only heard speculation from this site and we know how reliable that is......

I have only read speculation about Jessica on this site as well.  Nothing substantial just random people posting.  Nobody really knows much about her private life since she is not a public figure. 

Reply-to:If you are offended my dear, then that is your problem

Reply-to:I think this is Crystal posting all this crap about J.O. She would probably make up a fake twitter account just to make her look bad.

Reply-to:So much false info being spread around in an attempt to make scandalous story by the same person every-time.I would so like to know how did Steve introduce her to Dirk when Steve hasnt played in Dallas since 04 and she didnt come into town until 06-07?He specifically said in the Bild interview that he met her at a party around Oct/Nov 09. He is also said she moved into house in the spring of 2011.

No effort is required to make this relationship "scandalous", as you put it.  Crystal was arrested in May of 2009, so if JO moved in w/ him spring of 2011, that's almost 2yrs exactly(a little less considering spring begins in April, LOL).  Steve may have stopped playing for Dallas in '04, but their friendship continued, so easy enough for him to introduce JO at a later time. 

And many of you are assuming that Steve introduced JO to Dirk as girlfriend material, as opposed to "Hey, here's a jumpoff that lots of us have tried, want some?" Kind of like an appetizer at a restaurant.  Not saying that people don't change, but JO's "ex" is showing her recent texts & twitter dm's to him. Not mad at her, he's hot. On the other hand, where's the self-respect? He didn't think enough of you to marry you, so why would you humiliate the man who does?

Whatever. I guess.

Reply-to:I think it is fair to say that men recover differently than women do after relationships.  To me it looks like Dirk has always had his sideline girls along the way.  And maybe still does.  Jessica seems to be one of them.  So the stories of him cheating on his other women seem to be true.  Once a cheat, always a cheat.   What can you expect really, he is an athlete.  Most are allowed to get away with whatever they want, because they are rich.  Everything changes after retirement and when there is less money.I just have to say, this site is hilarious.  All of this time Jessica was made out to look so perfect and innocent, and now it is finally coming out that she was nothing more than the other woman.  Or one of them anyways. LMAO!  This looks like a match made in heaven.   Whatever you do, hold on to your receipts for the wedding gifts.

LOL! Why hold onto the receipts? You know that the bride isn't going to give any of them back, right?

Reply-to:Thank you!!!  People keep using that old Nash quote and acting like Dirk doesnt leave his house.  I think Dirk has plenty of life experiences, he just doesnt air his business publicly.  Also, he does not need a long list of known girlfriends as proof that he has lived a little.Also, it has been like three years since Crystals arrest but I agree with you, and have said on here before, Dirk probably dated other people after Crystal and before he met Jessica.

No, he didn't. In several German interviews he specifically said that he started seeing JO after Crystal & that JO "pulled him through a long and dark period". I'm not saying Dirk is a "monk" or "inexperienced", but I am saying that he's a serial monogamist, and that he did go from Crystal to JO (with no interruption). Not that you can't fall in love with the next person immediately after a bad relationship, just saying Dirk's track record isn't all that great, and that maybe he's not really looking at the situation as a whole but rather more focusing on having a wife so that he can have a family (a very different issue).

Reply-to:What?!?!?  It has only been reported Nash introduced them on this website.  So that might not even be true.  And Martin, not Marcus, gave that interview and he never said that Dirk and Jessica had been dating for years.  He said in a June 2010 interview that they had been dating for a while.  Everyone is free to interpret that how they want but dont change his words.

Reply-to:It depends on what type of relationship your getting out of especially if it was tramatic like Dirks and what type of dating your doing. If your taking it slow and having a few dates slowly getting in to it, but jumping back into a relationship so fast is not healthy especially down the road.I hope I helped you!!

Her brother chose his words carefully because its true Dirk has known Jessica for a while he dated her when his on and off relationship with Cristal were off, but she was not the only woman he kept in contact with.He kept coming back to Cristal though she was very eager to be with him *but we now know why Oh to Sally when one gets out of a serious relationship (im mean he was going to marry her!!)  and within a matter of months jumps into another serious relationship 9 out of 10 times its a rebound relationship.

Reply-to:In 2009 is when he broke up with his last fiance. It was all over the news. So it has been less than 5 years. Other than that, Dirk met Jessica through their mutual friend, Steve Nash. The met prior to the break up and reportedly began seeing each other. According to Jessica's brother Marcus, they had been dating for several years based on an interview that he gave in the summer of 2010, when Dirk went to Sweden to meet the family.

Reply-to:When Steve said that he wished Dirk lived some more. Wasnt that about a decade ago? Also, I dont see how people think that Jessica is the rebound relationship. His relationship with Cristal was over 5 years ago. You dont think Dirk dated anyone in between? Hes been with Jessica for about 2 years. Thats 3 years to get that out of his system. Whos to say you cant fall deeply in love with the next person you start to date after a bad relationship.

Sorry but i think you got the dates wrong Dirk and Cristal broke up when she got arrested in his home in May 2009 thats exactly three years ago. Dirk met Jessica at a party after he came home from vacation with his family. They got together quickly and where living together by early 2010. So was it a rebound relationship? I think yes even Dirk himself said he hates being alone I think he is settling, but it's his life. As someone who actually met Jessica at a dallas event in Feb. 2010 she seems nice until someone brushed me about her past , but people change so ........

Reply-to:Im not calling him a fool. Clearly he has some feelings for her. But he is the type of man that adheres to a take charge, assertive woman, even if its not what he wants. He is too nice for his own good. Who else would have been conned and persuaded into an engagement with a woman whom he wasnt even attracted to like cristal. This is not normal behavior. He needs to get out and experience a little more. Even Nash commented before that he wished he would live a little more.

What's normal? LOL. I agree that Dirk would be better served to "live a little". I have plenty of friends who are in the public eye, & 1 thing they all say is that they eventually hook-up with whoever is around b/c it's easier/safer than trying to meet other people. It's just odd to me that Dirk is marrying the rebound girl.

  It makes it kind of hard to take their love "seriously", but it's his wedding bed, so I guess he'll lay in whatever he makes. Not saying anything negative about his intended (although there's plenty of dirt on her) because he's the one making this decision. Pity.

lol It's funny the way people talk on here as if they personally KNOW both Jess and Dirk,  it's one thing to have an opinion on whether they make a good couple or not but some start taking it too seriously acting like they know him talking about "he's gullible..." , "he just got out of a bad relationship" "it's probably a rebound relationship from the pain he suffered from being with Crystal..." (almost as if they were there with him to witness the "pain" and as if they saw him crying and almost as if they let him cry on their shoulders...lol) I don't even get why there is a comparision with Crystal. The whole point of a relationship is to judge each person as THEIR OWN since each person IS THEIR OWN person. If people judged each relationship on every "bad" past relationship they had then trust me almost NO ONE would be dating...lol

Then one thing I find funny is people talk about their body langauge and that they don't touch, their "lack of affection". YET the minute he takes a picture with another female people start making all types of speculations. Like that tennis player he took a pic with. It was a simple pic just like players take with fans and all of a sudden people thought they looked like a "better" couple then Dirk and Jessica. LMAO.

 Or like a time when someone posted pics on Jason Terry's dad and back stage pass to the Heat vs Mavs playoff game from last year and based off simple pics of Jason's dad and the the pass people again started speculating.

It's like someone taking pics of Jason's dad and the tickets or just him simply taking pics with fans or talking to another female makes people believe Dirk in a relationship with that person, but that fact that he even takes Jessica places he goes still makes them question how "into" each other they are. It's so funny I have to laugh. I'm NOT even trying to be mean.

Reply-to:Before they got engaged, so many in the media were reporting they were engage last year. I do think the media took a wait and see approach to see if Dirk and Jessica would confirm they were really engaged this time. Once they did that then it got reported by the media. But I dont think either one of them goes out of their way for publicity. Their relationship seems very genuine.

The funny thing is noone would have heard about the engagement if it was not for that guy from FSSW that tweeted about it.  His tweet led to the message boards picking it up and then the German papers, like Bild, quoted the tweet.  Every German paper picked it up so the Dallas papers had to ask him about it.

Anyways, I agree when you say that neither of them go out of the way to publicize their life.

Reply-to:I dont see where Jessica is all about photos and getting her name in the press. She seems pretty laid back. I think the person is right that said some people are just jealous of their relationship.

I agree. The photos we have seen of Jessica have been from events for her job or charity events.  I don't see the big deal in that.

Ok, that's funny. It's like everybody else in the world has never been in a bad relationship and duped by someone they were involved with. Then, to add to the hilarity, to say he was going to marry Cristal, but wasn't attracted to her. She might've not been the right woman for him. But these kind of statements are just foolish.

Reply-to:That special birthday party that JO threw, for one. And yes, people do grow apart, but Steve it to all of the Playoff games...so thats a point against the idea of them growing apart. At least from natural causes.

Steve did not go to all the playoff games. He went to gm 1& 2 of the Finals. He was vacationing in Miami at the time. Steve is running his charity events, is co-owner of a soccer team and was named the GM of Team Canada Olympics basketball team. He is too busy to be hanging on to Dirk's nuts unlike you.

Reply-to:lol I get this is a relationship forum but some people take this stuff too seriously as if their talking about their child or friend being in a relationship...lol. Some of the things people say as if they are reltionship experts is so funny (no offense)

Reply-to:Goes to show that all most of u women do is speculate bc u dont know dirk or any personal details. First of all, it was NOT a bachelor party. They always take a boys trip after the season.... U do remember the tmz Miami photos 2 yrs ago!! Usually Vegas or Miami. Secondly, whoever reported the details of his engagement to psycho Cristal clearly knows what theyre talking about because it is accurate. I doubt that it was ever in an article but trust me, thats the way it happened!! Doubt very seriously there will be a wedding this summer, if ever! Dirk is very private and shy when around people so clearly the publicly engagement was not him being himself or else it wouldve been private. On one account, u all want to say Europeans are private and unaffectionate, (response to them rarely touching in public), but on the other account u think this public engagement was appropriate. Valentines Day, at a public restaurant. That sounds like exactly what ms socialite would dream of. Something for the media, although no media outlets reported it!! Too funny! Dirk is naive, mild mannered, and easy to persuade. Anyone who knows him, knows that!! Lets see if it lasts!!

 Well, I am the one that posted the details about Dirk's proposal to Crystal, but I honestly don't know either of them, and those details are something that I read. Probably right around the time that I saw the videos of him in the house with her. I just remember thinking how nice he was & that proposal was so thoughtful and loving--that he must really love her deeply.

Still, I don't like to think that he's only engaged to JO b/c he's easy to pursaude, b/c that's like saying he's a fool & can't make up his own mind. But if this engagement thing is a mistake (which it does seem like they are incompatible) then I hope that they don't go through with the marriage. They'll both be unhappy & that would be bad if they had babies. Just my opinion, of course.

I agree 100%.  That's why I never understood this relationship.  She's all about the publicity, getting her picture taken & posted in papers & magazines.

Reply-to:This is possible.  From interviews Dirk gave it did not seem like they had a wedding date planned but things appear to have changed since the Mavs got swept.  Anyways, his brother in law and childhood friends from Germany dont seem to be there either.What other important events did Steve Nash miss?

That "special birthday" party that JO threw, for one. And yes, people do grow apart, but Steve it to all of the Playoff games...so that's a point against the idea of them "growing apart". At least from natural causes.

Also at Surrender Nightclub that night, Dallas Mavericks owner and famed billionaire Mark Cuban, in town celebrating the bachelor party of his superstar player Dirk Nowitzki. Cuban was spotted chatting up Rooney, who was at the table next to him.

Cuban and Nowitzki and other members of Nowitzki’s bachelor party dined at Society Cafe on Friday night as well.

Reply-to:It was reported as Dirks bachelor party by the Toronto club they had it in and another blurb I saw about them in Vegas.

Thank you. I'm very happy for them if they're getting married soon.

Reply-to:The bachelor party mightve not been for Dirk. It couldve been for a friend of his. Well just have to wait and see. I wondered that too if Dirk and Jessica have dogs, cats, etc.

It was reported as Dirk's bachelor party by the Toronto club they had it in and another blurb I saw about them in Vegas.

Awwwww!! What a cute dog!!  I hope Dirk and jessica have pets!

Reply-to:Thats strange to me too. But maybe this was a spur of the moment thing?  B/c if not, this would be yet another major event that Steven couldnt make. Despite the fact that he dropped everything to make the playoffs.

Reply-to:He may be eligible to hold dual citizenship by German standards, but in the US this is only granted to a very few people.

I guess someone was trying to insult me, but if I said that a lot of people have seen Jessica recently and said that she doesn't look pregnant. The person said you can't tell for the first months. How would anyone know that she's pregnant? I'm sure that none of you're in her inner circle or work at her doctor's office. Jessica's dad is rich/well off, and it was Steve Nash that introduced Jessica and Dirk. I think they just found fell truly in love with one another.

ROFLMAO!! Go in the bathroom with her and watch her pee on a stick!!!

That is too funny!!!

Reply-to:she been playing the game of may be i am with him from the start.

It cannot be too much of a game. Because if Dirk really cared to be sure if she was pregnant or not, he'd simply tell her that he wanted a pregnancy test. Go into the bathroom with her and watch her pee on a stick.

Besides, if she' done that, jerked him around emotionally, why would he stay with her? It's been years, so obviously she wasn't ever pregnant. Therefore he must be with her for some other reason. Maybe it's love?

Reply-to:If Dirk was granted US citizenship he would most likely not relinquish his German citizenship. Therefore he would be a citizen of two nations and hold dual citizenship.So Dirk is actually eligible for dual citizenship.

Reply-to:Thats true, Dirk is not disqualified from becoming a US citizen.  But,  he would likely not be eligible for dual citizenship.  Those are two very different things.

If Dirk was granted US citizenship he would most likely not relinquish his German citizenship. Therefore he would be a citizen of two nations and hold dual citizenship.

So Dirk is actually eligible for dual citizenship.  

Reply-to:Dirk wouldnt be eligible for dual citizenship.  NBA players who werent born in the US play here using something called an O-1 visa, which is for people with extraordinary abilities that can be documented in some way.  Scientists, entertainers, athletes, etc. use this visa.

Dirk is probably in the US on that visa but that doesn't disqualify him from becoming a citizen. Many foreign athlete's who played in the US have become citizens. Tommy Haas a fellow German and tennis player recently became a citizen.

Reply-to:I wonder if either one of them has dual citizenship?

I remember when Dirk visited the White House he said he has been thinking about filing for American citizenship.  So based on that he does not have dual citizenship.

As far as Jessica, who knows she has been in the US for a while now so maybe she does.
