'Basketball Wives' Gloria Govan Marries NBA Star Matt Barnes
There's a new wife on VH1's "Basketball Wives."
Star Gloria Govan and her Los Angeles Clippers star fiancé Matt Barnes recently tied the knot in a secretive Las Vegas wedding ceremony, according to reports.
The wedding took place at the Little Church of the West in front of family and friends on Sunday. The coupe already have two twin boys together.
The Las Vegas Review Journal reported that the pair celebrated the birthday of Govan's sister the night before the wedding.
The 32-year-old NBA player, who was recently traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Clippers, invited a few of his new teammates to the ceremony. His best man was NBA star DeAndre Jordan and other players such as Chris Paul and Blake Griffin attended the event.
The couple was reportedly seen at the marriage bureau on Monday to apply for their marriage license.
The two called off their initial engagement two years ago just a few days before their wedding was scheduled to take place. The "Basketball Wives" insisted that they had called off the wedding because they needed more time. Govan's co-stars dismissed the explanation saying there actually were underlying issues in her and Barnes' relationship.
Barnes admitted that the hit Vh1 reality show did cause problems in his relationship and said he wouldn't continue to appear on the show.
"I'm not on this season. We already opened up our relationship enough and we went through our drama last summer so you know I fell back and let her do her thing and we're going to keep our situation a lot tighter this time around," Barnes said in a radio interview.
Govan had recently hinted at a possible wedding in an interview with JoyDailyTV:
"Marriage isn't necessarily a huge priority for me. Matt and I are working on our relationship in terms of being parents first and foremost, being friends secondly and like I said, we had so much growth, we have to get to know each other. I know it's in the future, it's just not tomorrow. I think when it happens; everyone will be surprised because I don't think we will make a big deal out of it."
