Larry Bird & Dinah Mattingly
Larry Bird was a professional basketball player who retired to become a coach. He lives up to his reputation as one of the best basketball players of all time. His NBA career began in 1989, and he led the Boston Celtics to three NBA championships. Bird and Dinah Mattingly have been married since 1989. The two met at Indiana State University, where Bird attended for a short time before dropping out. They married at a friend’s house in Indiana, with barely five people in attendance. When you’re in the spotlight, privacy appears to be the key to marital longevity.

Jessica Olsson & Dirk Nowitzki
Dirk Nowitzki comes to mind when people claim basketball is an all-American sport. Nowitzki, regarded as one of the best power forwards in NBA history, has found love in the arms of the stunning and exotic Jessica Olsson, a Swedish-Kenyan art gallery employee and the sister of professional Swedish soccer players Martin and Marcus Olsson. The two lovebirds met in 2010 and married two years later. Meanwhile, they’ve welcomed three children into the world: a daughter in 2013, and two sons in 2015 and 2016.
