Charles Barkley is the man. He speaks his mind, and he’s not afraid to talk about things that many shy away from. Charles Barkley’s wife Maureen Blumhardt married him almost 30 years ago. At the time, Barkley was playing for Philadelphia. Apparently the marriage was unpopular in some areas of Philly because it was a mixed-race marriage. Maureen and Charles never had a moment’s doubt about that though. It’s really incredible people ever cared about that. And maybe more incredible that anyone still does. Sigh.
Maureen is a funny woman. Maureen’s recollection of his emotional state during the birth of their first daughter is different than his memory. A reporter asked him if he was nervous. And of course Chuck said not at all. However, Charles Barkley’s wife set the record straight. “Charles was white if that’s any indication”.
Charles and Maureen tried to keep their wedding a secret. Their fear of a media circus led them to a very private wedding in front of a judge. I mean is that even a wedding? Can you actually call it that? But I like that they didn’t do the whole song and dance– it seems way overrated in America.
Charles Barkley’s wife changed the round mound of sound for the better. And Barkley admits as much himself. Barkley mused to the Philly Inquirer about how marriage changes a guy’s life. He explained how he would hang out with friends and play golf more often when he was single. Vacuuming and household chores replaced fighting out of a sand trap once the nuptials took place. According to Maureen, Charles is actually a neat freak. Maureen told the Inquirer:
“Last week, Charles got up in the middle of the night and started vacuuming. I told him he was going a little overboard”.
Barkley a neat freak? Who’d have thunk it?

Love and happyness is what counts.
sell out
Give Charles credit, most Black men are very unstable. He is attempting to leave the plantation where 90%+ Blacks would like to remain. They are afraid to compete with Europeans and Asians so they sit back and act helpless. Blacks blame everyone else because they are embarrassed that they are moving backwards. The huge IQ differential is due to evolution, but laziness and crime are personal choices.
Bi….tch always been an Oreo…phat phuck… wife was swallowing his teammates
PUnk azz B..it..ch was been an OREO… wife swallowing all his teammates
Shirley I guess I’ll send my PhD back.
How did this brief insight into Barkley’s life end up being about race? WTF people?
Shirley Adams – you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
And for the Anonymous commenter, only eunuchs post stupid comments…anonymously.
Charles Barkley is the very reason that they think black people are stupid, slow, and can only run after a ball. This whole article is BS. She married him because she was pregnant. He better keep his money because that is what has kept her there for 25 years. He is an idiot! She is the only one that will tolerate that smug dumb-talking SOB
Congrats M and C for 25 years of marriage…Grace and Peace.
God Bless you both…;~}
Some sad, ignorant, hateful comments in here. 26 years together is a great accomplishment – it takes work! Congrats Charles and Maureen. Best wishes!
Alll of you miserable people, eat your heart out.Congrats to Charles and his wife.
He looks like the love of my life Robbie hes also the one who got away. Theres something just down right sexy about Chuck then find out he does house work?????
Charles Barkley looks like the kind of man who would date a woman like that.
Barkley is the real deal. Some education, a successful pro athlete, a successful sports analyst, money in his pocket, only one marriage and with a nice daughter, is his own man, now and in the past, speaks his mind, and speaks the truth as he sees it, with no apologies. Not only that, but he has a keen sense of humor and good insight into the American society. Hang in there Sir Charles, for the naysayers and haters only are jealous.
Lol!!!!! He forks it over for a white girl hook line and sinker after allllll the nonsense that speuws out of that uneducated mouth. Couldn’t pass a high school Algebra test without cheating and thinks he has a point to make after forking over MILLIONS to a white woman who wouldn’t touch him any other way. Does anyone even disagree? Call it whatever you want, make sure the cash ? doesn’t hit empty or else. ????
I really dislike bigots, black or white! Treat people as individuals not their race. Speak out against or for individuals not whether they are black or white. All Americans black, brown or black should view each other as though they are wearing sun glasses. This is America so assimilate!
You go Charles and good luck to you and your lovely lady, the rest of you racist knuckles headed bigots can drop dead. Congrats to the Barkley for a successful marriage..
Prejudice people suck!! There is a place where all racists can go where everybody looks the same……..HELL!!……where all of u can burn to a dark crisp..
It’s great to see a happy couple. Congratulations to you both and your lovely family. All the best!
Maureen, I always watched “Rocket Basketball Game” when I was a young. I went to the summit with my ex-dating. I sat and, watched players were so amazing. Your husband, Charles Barkley is so lovely, and sweet. I can tell, he is kinda shy. I loved his former couch, Rudy. He was amazing. I already met him once. Btw, I am deaf. You both look fantastic couples. Hey Charles, you’d better STICK with your gorgeous / blessed wife forever til. You better treat her like a queen. Ha ha lol. I am teasing. I love seeing people laughing so hard.
I saw youuuuuuuu, Charles Barkley on TV. It called “Shark Tank”. Yay! You behave! I think, Daymond John is amazing. I watch his behaviors. Whoa… lol
God blessed
