FORMER WNBA STAR TY YOUNG JOINS THE ROSTER ALONG WITH NEW CAST MEMBERS CHANTEL CHRISTIE-JEFFRIES AND MING LEE

NEW YORK, NY - March 25, 2025 - VH1's fan-favorite reality series "Basketball Wives" is back and bolder than ever! Season 12 premieres on Monday, May 5th at 8/7C, promising a season packed with personal breakthroughs, growth, spiritual awakenings and even new marriages -- bringing hope and fresh energy to this season. But as the stakes rise and loyalties are tested, not everyone will make it through unscathed.

Returning this season are franchise icons Evelyn Lozada, Jackie Christie, Jennifer Williams, Brandi Maxiell and Brittany Renner, with a special guest appearance from executive producer Shaunie Henderson. They're joined by an exciting mix of fresh faces ready to shake up the dynamic: beauty mogul Ming Lee, Chantel Christie-Jeffries (Jackie Christie's daughter), and former WNBA star Ty Young, who's bringing her own unique journey and perspective to the show.

With Chantel Christie stepping into the spotlight, the "Basketball Wives" lifestyle takes on a new, multi-generational twist. As old alliances are tested and new relationships emerge, the true meaning of loyalty and sisterhood will be put to the ultimate test.

Among the season's major storylines, Jennifer Williams' newlywed bliss is threatened by her husband's ongoing legal battles, while her strained relationship with Evelyn Lozada reaches a boiling point, forcing them to confront years of unresolved tension. Jackie is eager to mentor her daughter Chantel in the Basketball Wives lifestyle, but Chantel is determined to forge her own path. Meanwhile, Brittany Renner embarks on a transformative spiritual journey, supported by longtime friend and fellow NBA ex Denise Garcia, as they both work to build legacies outside the league's shadow.

Brandi Maxiell, after over two decades as a devoted wife, is stepping into independence and rediscovering herself beyond marriage. Ty Young's move to LA with Ming Lee, once a dream, has turned into a complicated breakup, forcing both to navigate their next steps in life and love under the public eye.

With fast breaks and buzzer-beaters, "Basketball Wives" proves that in the game of life; loyalty, resilience, and love will continue to be tested. But, true sisterhood will always prevail.

Don't miss the highly anticipated season premiere of Basketball Wives on Monday, May 5th, only on VH1.
