Amber Rose was photographed leaving the Beverly Hills outpost of Matsuhisa on the night of November 3 alongside former NBA forward Christian Wood, marking the first public sighting of the pair together.
The images, obtained by BACKGRID and published by Page Six, show the 43-year-old model and television personality walking out of the restaurant in a white tank top, jeans, and a bright red handbag. Wood, 31, walked beside her in a black hoodie and black pants. The photos do not capture any overt displays of affection, but the shared exit was enough for Page Six to identify Wood as Rose’s new boyfriend. Neither party has confirmed the relationship or offered details on how long they have been seeing each other.
The sighting arrives at a relatively quiet stretch for both. Wood has not appeared in an NBA game since the 2023-24 season, when he averaged 6.9 points and 5.1 rebounds in 50 games for the Los Angeles Lakers. An undrafted free agent out of UNLV in 2015, he built a productive career that included a 21.0-point, 9.6-rebound season with the Houston Rockets in 2020-21 and a subsequent stint with the Dallas Mavericks. After signing a two-year minimum deal with the Lakers in 2023, he was waived in February 2025 following a left-knee injury and subsequent arthroscopic surgery. He remains an unrestricted free agent.
Rose, born Amber Rose Levonchuck in Philadelphia on October 21, 1983, has maintained a high public profile across modeling, television, and social media for nearly two decades. Her early visibility came through music videos and a relationship with Kanye West that began in 2008. She later married Wiz Khalifa in 2013; the couple divorced in 2016 and share a son, Sebastian. Subsequent public relationships have included Machine Gun Kelly, 21 Savage, and NBA players Terrence Ross and Monte Morris, as well as Alexander “AE” Edwards, with whom she has a second son, Slash.
In recent years Rose has spoken openly about preferring to remain single. On the “Sofia With an F” podcast in 2023 she said she was not interested in sharing her home or daily schedule with a partner. By May 2026 she was still discussing modern dating expectations on the Ball family podcast, making the Wood sighting a notable shift if the reports are accurate.
The 12-year age difference between the two has drawn particular attention online, as has Wood’s status outside the league. Rose’s own history with high-profile athletes and musicians has long been part of her public narrative, from her early years in the hip-hop and fashion orbit to her appearance at the 2024 Republican National Convention. Wood, by contrast, has kept a lower profile since his waiver.
As of November 5, neither Rose nor Wood has addressed the photos on social media. The documented facts remain limited to the images taken outside Matsuhisa, their respective ages, and Wood’s current free-agent status. Any further details about the relationship remain unconfirmed.
