In light of the recent twitter war between Stephon Marbury and Michael Jordan, we thought it was high time we covered Stephon Marbury’s wife.
Stephon Marbury met his future wife (her maiden name was LaTasha Rochelle Frieson) while they both attended Georgia Tech. The couple eventually married on Sept. 14, 2002 while Stephon played for the Phoenix Suns. The couple has two children of their own, Xaviera and Stephon, II. Stephon also reportedly has a daughter named Stephaine Marbury from a previous relationship.
Stephon Marbury’s wife LaTasha Marbury remains in the good ‘ole US of A while Stephon balls in China with the Foshan Dralions of the Chinese Basketball Association. In January of this year, Tasha Marbury celebrated her 35th birthday in grand fashion, as you can see from some of the photos. One of the people that Tasha celebrated with was Tai Eisley, wife of former NBA point guard Howard Eisley, who must have met when their husbands played together on the Suns in 2004. LaTasha Marbury and Tai Eisley opened a business on July 22, 2006 called Pepper Noodle Couture in Rye, NY. The goal, according to an article written about them in The Rye Record in 2006, was to make the store the “edgiest boys and girls’ boutique, sizes 0 to 16, in all of Westchester”. Considering Westchester, that’s a pretty bold goal. Apparently too bold however, since the business has shuttered it’s doors. Also according to the article, LaTasha and Tai also own a real estate investment firm called Ryse. No word on whether that is still in business, but somehow, we doubt it.
