Micky Arison’s wife Madeleine Arison is living it up with her billionaire husband, but there’s no shortage of charitable involvement in her life. Honestly, it’s a lot of work to keep up with a bunch of charities if you’re actually involved with their organizing and events. If you’ve got gaggles of money, you can just cut a check, but Madeleine seems to take a more hands-on approach. Micky and Madeleine are known to chill out…
Joe Johnson’s girlfriend Candise Zepherin is the mother of Justice Johnson, one of Joe’s kids. His other child is named Gavin. Gavin’s mom is a lady named Shannon whom Joe had to go through a lengthy lawsuit with in order to establish a stable relationship with Gavin. That mostly had to do with getting Shannon to move closer to Joe and giving her child support. Sometimes, that’s just how it goes in the NBA. Candise is 25 years…
Pat Riley’s wife Chris Rodstrom Riley has been with Mr. Riley for a very, very long time. To give you proper perspective: Wilt Chamberlain was still playing and would continue to play for three more years after Pat and Chris said their vows. The couple have both a son and daughter who are fully grown by now. I read a Los Angeles Times article from 1985 profiling Pat and Chris back in the Lakers years. It was…
Justise Winslow’s girlfriend Abby Avery is his high school sweetheart from the city of Houston. The two attended St. John’s High School there, and she was dating him when he made his announcement that he’d be attending Duke back in 2013. Justise did not spend much time there before announcing that he’s ready to roll in the NBA. That’s sort of become the norm for quality pro prospects now. Abby is now playing with Justise’s…
Hassan Whiteside’s girlfriend Alexis Deviyan is a fitness lady who keeps her body looking like she could survive in a post-apocalyptic desert with nothing but a canteen. Yes, this is the whole point of staying fit and trim, people. It’s about being ready for challenges in the wasteland, not for feeling healthy and lively. Okay, so that’s a clear reference to a popular video game, but it does align quite nicely with the level of…
The volatile world of NBA dating. You gotta love it. Rashard Lewis’s wife Giovanni Fortes tied the knot with Lewis after a long, long period of time. Reports vary but it was something like 10 years. In the real world, that’s perfectly fine, but in the NBA it’s unusual. Hey, a man gets older, sitting atop his pile of questionably-deserved cash, and he thinks to himself, “you know, the best things in life may well…
Chris “Birdman” Andersen may have hit rock bottom after his last nasty break-up, but he sure is back on top now. And Chris Andersen’s girlfriend Tina Wiseman (now his fiancé actually) has everything to do with it. The Miami Heat power forward/center came from rough beginnings. After his mom took off and his dad started traveling all over the world to sell his art, Chris Anderson was forced to choose between military school and a…
