Skylar Diggins rose to fame after being selected as the third overall pick in the 2013 WNBA Draft. As she continues to excel in women’s basketball, many are curious about her husband, Daniel Smith.
Daniel, born in South Bend, Indiana on July 16, 1991, is the son of Vicky and Robert Smith. His father was a businessman and his mother worked at a broadcasting station.
After attending Clay High School, he went on to the University of Notre Dame, where he played football until an ankle fracture forced him to focus on his passion for art.
Daniel began selling his artwork online and later designed logos for clothing brands. He now owns Doperman Studios in Dallas, Texas, and has showcased his work at the Life is Beautiful music and art festival. His successful art career has earned him a net worth of $400 thousand dollars.
Daniel and Skylar have been together since 2014 and got married in April 2019 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. The couple, who welcomed their son Seven in 2019, prefers to keep their children out of the public eye. Skylar has praised Daniel for his hands-on approach to parenting, allowing her to focus on her basketball career.
Skylar and Daniel recently welcomed a daughter, but have not disclosed her name to the public.
In an interview, Skylar expressed her desire for her children to see her pursue her dreams while balancing motherhood and a successful basketball career.
