Coming into the 2012-13, there were lofty expectations placed on Kevin Martin. With OKC deciding they couldn't (or didn't want to) give James Harden a new max contract, they traded him to Houston. Martin was shipped to the Thunder in that deal and essentially had to try and replicate Harden's offensive output from the bench. While not as explosive, Martin did his best impression as the Thunder marched their way to the 1 seed in the West.
Martin started his career in Sacramento, which is a far cry from his hometown of Zanesville, OH. This is relevant because its also the hometown of Kevin Martin's wife Jill Martin. When Kevin started his NBA career, the couple has just started getting serious. Jill recalls taking many flights back and forth to visit on the weekends when the Kings were playing at home.
Kevin and Jill were married on July 15, 2011. The couple actually met in high school but did not begin dating until college. Both are self-described as shy, so the relationship took quite some time to get off the ground. They spent about 4 years together before finally tying the knot. We don't usually make note of wedding details, but this is one we just had to point out - Kevin and Jill had an Oreo bar for their guests. There's no way that didn't live up to expectations.

After the disaster that was 2012, it’s no surprise that there are plenty of new faces in the Red Sox clubhouse. One of the higher priorities for the new was obtaining a new closer, which they did by way of Pittsburgh with Joel Hanrahan. After a rough spring, it seems like Hanrahan might still be adjusting to his new environment. Joel Hanrahan and his wife Kim Hanrahan also are doing some adjusting at home having just had their first child.
Joel and Kim were only recently became husband and wife, with their wedding a little over a year ago in January 2012. They welcomed son Ryan on March 11, 2013. Boston was an ideal new destination for the Hanrahan’s, as Kim still has family in the area. Prior to motherhood, Kim (nee Donovan) was known for her charitable work with Joel’s prior teams, specifically the Shadyside Family House and a domestic violence shelter in the Pittsburgh area.
Joel Hanrahan was actually first brought up as a starter for the Washington Nationals. Somewhat out of necessity, he was moved to the closer role where he flourished. He was traded the Pirates in 2011 and is coming to Boston having made the last two NL All Star rosters.

Listen to a 2013 Red Sox fan long enough, and you're sure to get into a heated discussion over the best baseball players of all time; and in their mind, the discussion is pretty much down to Ted Williams, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and Jackie Bradley Jr. The Red Sox prospect (who most expected to be another year away from making the show) managed to grab a 2013 starting spot and has raised expectations and hopes across New England for a fanbase pretty down on their team's chances.
Before JBJ became a widely known acronym in New England, there was one person to know all about him - Jackie Bradley Jr.'s girlfriend Erin Helring. Bradley and Helring are both from Virginia laying claim to hometowns about 15 miles apart. While Jackie starred in the College World Series for South Carolina, Helring was going to Liberty University where she got a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology.
We hate to disappoint the majority of single girls in Boston, but this is more than just a passing girlfriend. While it's not exactly clear how long the couple has been together, Bradley popped the question over New Year's and the couple is now engaged. No wedding date has been announced
