“I do have a huge responsibility, but I’m excited to embark on this new journey knowing that I have a good partner in life such as Belle,” said Parks Jr. in the video titled #ZEINABfoundherRAYt1. “I wouldn’t be the man that I am today without her.”

“I know LDR [long-distance relationship] is hard, but not having you in my life is harder,” said Harake. “I will not hinder you but inspire you and encourage you as the head of our household.”
Parks Jr. proposed to Harake in July last year, while Harake also popped the question to the former TNT swingman during their vacation in Japan last September.
His return to Japan remained “up in the air” when he was asked for updates on his renewal during the B.League Final Week Manila last month.
