Not much is known about Johanna Leia’s birth father or if he is even still alive. Several sources claim, though, that he is a Sudanese national.

Amari Bailey’s mom has been in a number of relationships, including her relationship with his birth father Aaron Bailey. Aaron Bailey was a former NFL football player who played for the Indiana Colts from 1994-1998. It was during his playing days that he and Johanna began dating. In spite of the fact that they dated for several years, they never got married, and the reason for their split has not been made public yet.

The relationship between Amari Bailey’s mom and his father lasted long enough for Amari and his sister to be born. Amari was born on February 17, 2004, while his sister, Savvy, was reportedly born 10 years later. After her breakup with Amari’s father, he went on to marry a woman named Jennifer and had seven children with her, while Johanna became saddled with the responsibility of raising her children as a single parent.

Other than genetically passing down his athletic abilities to Amari, Aaron Bailey has not been actively involved in parenting Amira and his sister. Johanna, on the other hand, has been visibly supportive of her son’s blossoming career as a potential NBA great. She has been pictured at several of his high school games, and she doesn’t shy away from any responsibility that will bring out the best in her children.

She Was Once Drake’s Girlfriend

In July 2021, Johanna Leia and the popular award-winning rapper Drake were pictured together at a Dodgers game, and this led to numerous speculations that the two were in a relationship. These speculations turned out to be true as the former couple had met through Leia’s son Amari, to who Drake had taken a shine and had given advice on how to handle the fame that came with being a person in demand as Amari was at the time.

The relationship between Johanna and Drake lasted for a very short time and ended in October 2021. Leia herself had next to nothing to say about the relationship or the relatively short length of time that it had lasted.
