Andre Drummond is now playing his 12th season in the league. The Chicago Bulls center has been a key player for the team since signing with the franchise in 2022. Although the big man does not earn as much as the other stars on the roster, he has surely earned the approval from the Bulls fanbase.
Now a fan favorite, Drummond once made headlines for reasons aside from basketball when he dated Jennette McCurdy, the former “iCarly” actress. Their relationship aroused curiosity and conjecture, especially after McCurdy openly criticized Drummond’s kissing.

Jennette McCurdy, a former ‘iCarly’ star, opened up about her brief romance with NBA player Andre Drummond on Pete Holmes’ ‘You Made It Weird’ podcast.
In the podcast, McCurdy discussed her reservations about dating Drummond, which eventually led to a lack of chemistry. She defined their first kiss, which occurred following a game of laser tag, as less than ideal, citing a lack of sparks and discomfort.

Despite Drummond’s wooing efforts, which included presents and a formal plea for a relationship over dinner, McCurdy broke their brief engagement soon after, emphasizing the lack of a genuine connection.
Who is Andre Drummond’s ex-girlfriend Jennette McCurdy?
Jennette McCurdy rose to prominence as Sam Puckett on Nickelodeon’s ‘iCarly,’ and she dabbled in music, theatre, and writing. As much as a talented actress she is, the 31-year-old has been equally gifted when it comes to writing screenplay. She is originally from California and spent her early childhood in Garden Grove.
Andre Drummond and Jennette McCurdy briefly dated in 2013, attracting attention after their online acquaintance. Even before their first meeting, Drummond professed his affection for McCurdy on social media. While the NBA has seen power couples like LeBron James and Savannah James, Drummond-McCurdy’s romance was short-lived.

Drummond’s public demonstrations of adoration drew attention to the relationship, which did not go on for long. Despite their initial elation, McCurdy later expressed her displeasure with their romantic chemistry. In an interview with Nerdist, she described a disappointing first kiss that lacked sparks as “less than satisfying.”
Fans did not hold back on trolling the NBA professional either and her interview has been making rounds over the internet. Regardless, Drummond will be focusing on his on-court performances for the Chicago Bulls as they advance deeper into the regular season.
