AceShowbiz - Sterling Shepard is dating another model following his split from Chanel Iman. The NFL star has found himself a new girlfriend and he made his relationship with Shaniece Hairston Instagram official.

Making use of the photo-sharing app, the 29-year-old athlete went public with the model, who is also 29 years old, by sharing their intimate picture. In the photo, the pair packed on the PDA as she sat on his lap.

Sterling looked stylish in a black jacket and matching pants with a pair of black-and-white sneakers and dark shades. Shaniece also dressed to impress in a semi-sheer silver dress which left very little to the imagination, paired with silver heels.

"Perfect timing," he captioned it, with a black heart emoji. Shaniece, who is the daughter of "Basketball Wives" star Evelyn Lozada, posted the same image on her own page, gushing in the caption, "My babe" along with a white heart emoji.

It's unknown how long Sterling and Shaniece have been seeing each other, but the dating news didn't seem to come as a surprise to some of their friends. Victor Cruz commented on the wide receiver's post, "There he is!"

Their romance comes more than a year after he quietly filed for divorce from Iman. The New York Giants player reportedly filed the papers on June 7, 2021 to end their three-year marriage. He requests joint legal custody of their two children, daughters Cali and Cassie. He also asks his house to be his daughters' primary residence, while Chanel has "supervised parenting time" with the girls.

Meanwhile, Chanel has moved on with another NFL star, Davon Godchaux, following her split from her husband. Back in April, she debuted her new man on Instagram by sharing a photo of her being wrapped in his arms from behind as he planted a kiss on her cheek.
