Okay, so I was just doing my usual browsing online, and a question popped up in my mind: Who is Larry Bird married to? You know, the basketball legend. I got curious and decided to find out.
I started with a simple search. I just typed in “Who is Larry Bird married to?” on my browser. The first few results gave me the answer straight away: Dinah Mattingly. Apparently, she’s a retired high school teacher. That’s cool, but I wanted to know more about their story.
I dug a bit deeper. It turns out they’ve been married for a really long time, like 36 years! That’s some serious commitment. They met way back at Indiana State University in the late 1970s. It was a time when Larry was really trying to make it big in basketball, and they started as friends.
- They met at Indiana State University.
- They started as friends and their relationship grew from there.
Their friendship eventually turned into something more, and they tied the knot on October 31, 1989. From what I read, it was a pretty private wedding. I mean, who needs a big show when you’ve got real love, right?
I also found out that Larry was married once before, to a woman named Janet Condra. They were high school sweethearts and got married in 1975, but it didn’t last. It’s always sad when things don’t work out, but it happens. It seems like Larry found his true match with Dinah, though.
They have two adopted kids, Conner and Mariah. It looks like they’ve built a wonderful life together. They’ve lived in some pretty nice places, like a suburb of Boston when Larry was playing for the Celtics, and even in Chicago.
I discovered that during the marriage, they adopted two children, whose names are Connor and Mariah.
