So, today I wanted to talk about something a little different – Larry Bird’s kids. Yeah, you heard that right, the basketball legend, Larry Bird. I got curious about his family life, especially his children, and I went down a bit of a rabbit hole.
First off, I found out that Larry is married to this lady named Dinah Mattingly. They tied the knot back in 1989, seems like a solid, long-lasting marriage. They have two adopted kids, a son named Conner and a daughter named Mariah. I thought, “Okay, that’s interesting, adopted kids.” It made me wonder about their upbringing and how it might have been different from other celebrity kids.
I also did some digging and learned about another child. Her name is Corrie Bird, and she’s Larry’s eldest daughter from a previous relationship. So, Larry’s got a bit of a blended family situation going on, which I think is pretty common these days.
Details About the Kids
- Conner Bird: Conner is one of Larry’s adopted kids.
- Mariah Bird: Mariah is the other adopted child, a daughter. She and Conner are the kids Larry adopted with Dinah.
- Corrie Bird: Corrie is Larry’s eldest daughter, but from a previous relationship.
Now, about their lives. It seems like they’ve all taken different paths. I mean, it’s not like they all followed in their dad’s footsteps and became basketball stars. That’s something that kinda struck me as I was reading about them. Each one seems to have their own thing going on, their own talents and interests, which I think is pretty cool.
From what I gathered, Larry and Dinah have a pretty nice place in Naples, Florida. It’s a big, fancy house with a movie theater, an infinity pool, and even a boat dock. I guess that’s where Conner and Mariah grew up, at least for some part of their lives. It sounds like a pretty luxurious lifestyle, but I’m sure they had their share of normal family stuff too.
In the end, I realized that even though Larry Bird is this huge basketball icon, he’s also just a dad. He’s got kids who have their own lives, their own stories, and that’s something we can all relate to, whether we’re famous or not.
