Donald Sterling's girlfriend V. Stiviano has reportedly adopted two African American boys. According to Radar Online, the adoption was finalized last Friday and Sterling has been spending time with them despite his recent trouble with racist comments he made towards black people.
"V fostered two, young African American boys for several years," a source reportedly told Radar. "She had met the boys during her work in the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. The adoption was finalized on Friday amidst all of the chaos. In fact, the social worker came by V's house for a final inspection before she left to do the interview with Barbara Walters."
According to the site, the boys are 12 and 13-years-old and are Cambodian, African American and Asian descent.
"V is over the moon that the adoption is final and legal. It was a long and arduous process, but it was worth it," the source added. "Donald has spent a lot of time with V and the boys in the past. He got along with the boys, and was very sweet to them."
The 80-year-old owner of the Los Angeles Clippers was recently banned for life from the NBA by Commissioner Adam Silver after a racist conversation leaked online. According to Radar, the conversation was recorded with Sterling's permission by his girlfriend.
Reportedly Sterling was upset with Stiviano for posting a photo to her Instagram account of herself and Magic Johnson. During the conversation, Sterling told the model not to bring "black people" to Clippers games and said that he would prefer is she only hung out with black people in private.
"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. Do you have to?" Sterling asked at one point in the audio.
"You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that... and not to bring them to my games," he said.
Besides being banned from the NBA, Sterling was fined $2.5 million and is also being urged to sell the Clippers. During an interview with Barbara Walters, Stiviano said that she does not think the Clippers' owner is a racist.
"[He] can't even believe or understand sometimes the thing he says, and I think he's hurt by it," Stiviano told Walters. "He's hurting right now."
