Actress Jennette McCurdy has been going through a tough time lately. The star of Nickelodeon's iCarly and it's spin-off, Sam and Cat, recently lost her mother to cancer. The tragic loss has undoubtedly taken a great toll on the young actress. Luckily, the star has some small comfort in the love and support of her friends. McCurdy also has her new boyfriend, NBA Star Andre Drummond, by her side.
There can only be a few things in this world as painful as a child losing his or her parents. Words cannot express the emptiness that one must feel after suffering such a loss, especially for someone as young as Jennette McCurdy. However, the 21-year-old is not alone through these tough times, as her new boyfriend Andre Drummond recently expressed via Twitter:
"Thru tough times here I stand, ill always have your back @jennettemccurdy"
Its nice to see that something good can grow out of tragedy. This young couple getting closer is but a small solace given the circumstances.
McCurdy's recently started dating the NBA star after he reached out to her via Twitter a few months back. McCurdy wrote an essay in The Wall Street Journal last month detailing their unusual connection:
"A month and a half ago, I logged onto Twitter and saw my timeline clogged with people asking me to follow some account called “@DRE_DRUMMOND_.” Five tweets are easy to ignore; hundreds are not. Impressed by the amount of energy centered on this account, I of course had to click on it. I first read the bio attached: Official Twitter of Andre Drummond. Former UCONN HUSKY F, Now a Detroit Piston. Live by GOD, #T.A.G.O.D. Curious and admittedly ignorant in the sports arena, I took to Google for some research. I read the guy’s Wikipedia page… confronted by statistics and a bunch of basketball jargon, I gathered that he was gifted at basketball… and super, super tall. Not yet satisfied with my knowledge of this guy’s deal, I backtracked on his Twitter page a few months and checked out his Instagram… he appeared personable, youthful, and fun. And judging by the amount of me-related posts he had shared, it seemed he had been expressing his crush on me for quite some time. I found it sweet, gutsy, and flattering. It’s hard not to be impressed by a boy who will express his feelings for you in front of hundreds of thousands of people. I followed him back on Twitter and sent him a public message. We had a brief banter and then he sent me a private message with his phone number. Inevitably, I utilized it."
We here at Classicalite wish Jennette all the best during this period, and are happy that she still has some bright spots helping her through the dark.
