The Story
- Time Together: Yao Ming married Ye Li on August 6, 2007 at the Shangri-La Hotel in Shanghai China. The ceremony was attended by approximately 70 friends and family, while throngs of media were kept closed outside.
They have one daughter together, Amy, born May 21, 2010. Amy will be a U.S. citizen, as she was born in Houston.
- Fast Facts: Fortunately, the 7'6" Yao was able to find a tall girl, even if she still is 16 inches shorter than him. Ye stands at a less-than-diminutive 6'2". Her size clearly helped her play a role, as she was once the starting center for the Chiinese National basketball team.

The Story
- UPDATE: When the Grizzlies traded for Shane Battier at the trading deadline last February, Shane was forced to leave wife Heidi Battier, who was seven months pregnant, along with their son Zeke, back in Houston. Fast forward to April 17th - Battier not only hit the game-winning 3 pointer to lift the 8th seeded Grizzlies over the top-seed Spurs, but Battier's wife Heidi gave birth to their child. Quite the day for the Battier family.
- Time Together: The two got together in high school and were married in 2004. They had their first child together, Zeke Edward Battier, in 2008.
- Maiden Name: Heidi Ufer
- Resume: Shane and Heidi formed the Battier Family Foundation, which is designed to "encourage and inspire leadership qualities in young people." Heidi also currently serves on the board of the Houston Boys and Girls club.
- Fun Facts: Shane and Heidi danced to Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On," at their wedding. That's a fun fact right?
OK, well if that's not fun, try this one on: Heidi goes to bed at 10:30 and Shane plays video games after she goes to bed(this is seriously all we can find about these two).
Maybe these aren't fun facts, but it's nice to know that even a professional athlete has to wait until his better half goes to bed before he can break out the XBox controller.
