Layla’s Father
Penny Hardaway was born on July 18, 1971, in Memphis, Tennessee, U.S. His parents are Fae Hardaway and Eddie Golden.
Penny’s first love was football. No, it’s not basketball. His grandmother did not want him to get hurt just as how hurtful it is to play basketball.
But, look at him. Penny Hardaway became a professional basketball player. Furthermore, he is the head coach of the Memphis Tigers men’s basketball team.
Parent’s Love Story & Issues
Layla’s father was famous for being a former American basketball player and a college basketball coach. Penny Hardaway met Mary McDonnell in high school.
They fell deeply in love with each other. It’s said that Penny was head over heels for Mary. The couple lived together for a long time but never got married.
The couple was blessed with a baby girl which was Layla’s elder sister, LaTanfernee. When her sister turned eight, their parents broke up. Why could it be?
According to a source, Mary McDonnell filed a complaint against Penny Hardaway for intimidation and domestic violence. The case was settled when it reached the court because Penny agreed to pay the charges.
Layla and LaTanfernee were still young so they have no idea what was going on. But, it was an intensely emotional situation for their mother at that time. That was the reason why the Hardaway sisters grew up only with their mother around.
There was no agreement between them living with both parents during their childhood. There could still be a chance that they receive enough love and affection from both parents even though they’re apart.
Layla’s Half-Brothers
Layla has two half-brothers. They are Jayden Hardaway and Ashton Hardaway. They were born from their father’s past relationship with Nikki Ward which didn’t succeed.
Both brothers are involved in sports. Ashton Hardaway is a shooter at Duncanville High. In March 2022, he won the state championship.
Jayden Hardaway was the one who followed in his father’s footsteps. He plays in his dad’s team called Memphis Tigers.
