Ali is the second-youngest of Muhammad Ali's nine children. Ali married Johnny "Yahya" McClain on August 27, 2000. She met McClain through her sister Hana at her father's 57th birthday party. McClain became Ali's manager and helped guide her career. In 2002 she wrote (with co-author David Ritz) the book Reach! Finding Strength, Spirit, and Personal Power, meant to motivate and inspire young women. In late 2005 Ali and McClain divorced and McClain quit managing Ali. After the divorce, tabloids reported that Ali divorced McClain because she was a lesbian and having an affair with Queen Latifah. Ali denied the rumors, saying she didn't even know Latifah. On July 23, 2007, Ali married former NFL player Curtis Conway in Los Angeles. Lalia has three stepchildren with Conway, 12 year old twin sons Cameron and Kelton and 8 year old Leilani.
