Basketball Wives LA Season 2 Star Gloria Govan Tied The Knot WIth NBA Player
"Basketball Wives LA" star Gloria Govan and her boyfriend, NBA player Matt Barnes secretly tied the knot in Las Vegas, according to reports.
The reality star married Barnes on Sunday, Sept. 23, at Las Vegas' famed wedding chapel, The Little Church of West, before a few close friends and family.
The couple was in town to celebrate Govan's sister Laura's birthday the day before but decided to stay in town to get hitched.
The couple was seen the day after the nuptials at the local marriage bureau to obtain their marriage license.
A copy of the license, dated Sept. 23 was leaked and has gone viral in many reports.
According to the Christian Post, fellow NBA players DeAndre Jordan Chris Paul and Blake Griffin were in attendance. Jordan was named the best man by Barnes for the intimate ceremony.
The nuptials occurred two years after the couple called off their wedding at the last minute.
In the first season of "Basketball Wives LA," Govan described their relationship as "perfect." Before the season ended, the aspiring actress severed ties with the 32-year-old to decide if she wanted to continue the relationship.
The couple has announced in several recent interviews prior to the ceremony that Barnes will not appear on "BBWLA".
"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 reportedly said in a radio interview.
Govan hinted at an impending surprise wedding in an interview with Joy Daily. "I think when it happens, everyone will be surprised because I don't think we will make a big deal out of it," she said.
Barnes was recently traded to the Los Angeles Clippers from the Los Angeles Lakers. The couple have two children.
"Basketball Wives LA" Season 2 airs on Mondays on VH1 at 8/7 c.
