NBA star JR Smith is going through it right now. For the past month, there was a rumor going around social media that the NBA baller was dating Flash actress Candice Patton, 34.
Now that rumor caused JR to delete hundreds of Instagram posts — going back to 2017.
JR Smith is married to his beautiful wife Jewel, and the couple share two daughters together. But the rumor of a JR-Candice relationship, is clearly causing strain in their marriage.
The first sign of any type of connection between JR and Candice came last Halloween, when folks on social media noticed that both attended a costume party in Las Vegas.
The night of the party, Candice posted a pic, and in the caption explained that her “bae” is afraid of snakes. JR Smith responded in the comments, and that raised eyebrows.
Look:
It was this back-and-forth between JR and Candice that got some on social media to speculate that JR – who has had a history with women – may have been cheating on his wife.
The speculation continued for months, and yesterday – it exploded.
Yesterday JR posted a pic of himself walking Candice’s dog, and social media rumors went into overdrive.
Fans openly questioning the relationship between JR and Candice in the comments, and began combining through JR’s old posts – to try and see if they could find any connection w/ Candace.
Moments later, JR deleted hundreds of Instagram posts – all the way back to 2017.

And what’s going on with JR’s wife? Well Jewel Smith has been posting some very sad posts, about “fair” and “toxic relationships” lately.
