On a recent live stream, NBA star made a staggering assertion regarding the state of players’ marriages throughout the league, asserting that the overwhelming majority of them fail.
The star 33, is married to Marlene Wilkerson, and the couple has two sons with each other.
However, during a recent live broadcast with Tristan Jass, Mavericks star Irving disclosed that an astonishing 86% of marriages in the NBA fail.
Irving informed a bewildered Jass that he endeavors to “concentrate on the other 14 percent” before elucidating his approach to his marriage.
‘I have informed my wife of that statistic, and she is cognizant of my honesty,’ Irving stated.
Therefore, I have consistently endeavored to ensure that I am providing her with context and perspective.
Provide her with as many details as possible to ensure that she is fully informed. “Trust is established in this manner.”
Nine times Irving, an All-Star, and Wilkerson have been associated since 2018.
In 2021, they welcomed their first son, Kaire, before she and the basketball icon welcomed a second son in 2022 while he was playing for the Nets.
The precise date of their wedding remains uncertain. Irving also has a daughter, Azurie Elizabeth, from a previous relationship with a woman named Andrea Wilson.
Irving had previously disclosed to streamer Kai Cenat the process by which he came to the realization that Wilkerson was “the one” for him. Irving stated, “I knew she was the one for me when you know, I dropped those tears.” He continued, “You drop those tears over the girl you’re in love with, man, it changes your life forever.”
Irving is expected to miss most if not all of the next NBA season after suffering a torn ACL in March.
Prior to getting hurt, he was having an effective year in his 14th NBA season, averaging 24.7 points in 50 contests for Dallas.
The Mavs will be eagerly awaiting his return from injury so he can team up with Anthony Davis and rookie Cooper Flagg
