May Andersen was
Jason Kidd’s girlfriend for a couple months this summer, but like most of Jason Kidd’s relationships, this one ended with more than a little drama.
Their relationship came as a surprise to some, as Kidd had only recently announced that he was having a baby with Hope Dworaczyk.
Anyway, Kidd was getting ready to kick some ass in Japan as part of the USA Basketball squad when May, who told him she was staying in for the night was photographed partying it up (and planting her lips on) Lindsay Lohan. The pictures ran in Page Six the next day and that was the end of that.
May Andersen is a Danish model best known for the fine work she’s done for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and Victoria’s Secret.
Hope Dworaczyk is Jason Kidd’s girlfriend. Hope is also rumored to be a model, but I can’t find much evidence of it.
She does sound like a pretty cool girl, though. From her Myspace page:
“I always give homeless people money. My friends always yell at me, “he’s only going to buy more alcohol and cigarettes!” and I’m thinking, Really? Like I wasn’t”
Now, I understand that a woman might think that dating a professional athlete would be pretty cool. Especially someone that everyone will recognize when you drag him to the mall. I get that, and Kidd’s resume is impressive enough that even the most casual sports fan could pick him out of a lineup. He’s a hands down Hall of Famer.
But damnit, use some common sense here.
Kidd has been divorced since January, 2007. That’s not a dealbreaker on its own — lots of good people get divorced. But the guy once had an alcohol problem, plead guilty to domestic abuse charges, had numerous affairs, and was later accused of breaking his wife’s rib and smashing her head into the console of a car.
Hope Dworaczyk presumably knew all this, and still thought it would a good idea to date the dude.
Oh yeah, and now she’s pregnant with his kid.

Mark Cuban once told a reporter that he would “slice [his] f—ing nuts off” if he published the name of his fiancee. Here’s hoping that he’s gotten over it by now…
Tiffany Stewart (gulp) is now Mark Cuban’s wife. She married the dot com billionaire in September of 2002.
Cuban is one of those rare guys who manages to earn the respect of nerds and jocks alike. A dot com billionaire (he sold broadcast.com to the now fledgling Yahoo! for over $5 billion in 1999), Mark is now the outspoken owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks.
While racking up over $1 million in fines (he matches all fines with charitable donations), Mark Cuban has made himself more accessible than the typical fat cat sports owner. He keeps a blog and encourages fans to email him with questions or ideas.
