Alright, let’s talk about this Penny Hardaway fella. You wanna know if he’s married, huh? Well, the short answer is yes, he is married. But hold your horses, it ain’t that simple.
Now, this Penny, he’s got himself a wife named Mary McDonnell. Yep, Mary McDonnell. She’s his wife alright, and she’s also a stepma to all of Penny’s young’uns. Lordy, that’s a lot of kids! Seems like Penny’s been busy, that’s for sure.
- He’s got two sons, Jayden and Ashton.
- Jayden plays basketball for his daddy at Memphis.
- Ashton plays for Saint Mary’s Gaels. Fancy schools, them.
- Then he’s got two daughters, born way back in the 90s, with a gal he knew from high school.
So, you see, Mary’s got her hands full with all them young’uns. She’s a stepma to four kids! That’s a lot of mouths to feed, and a lot of laundry to do, I reckon. Good on her for takin’ that on.
This Penny guy, he got a funny nickname, “Penny”. You know how he got it? His grandma, she used to call him “Pretty” cause he was a good-lookin’ boy. But she had a thick country accent, you see, so folks thought she was sayin’ “Penny”. And wouldn’t you know it, the name stuck! He even wears the number 1 on his jersey to honor his grandma. That’s sweet, ain’t it? Shows he remembers where he comes from.
And get this, he’s got this key, a special key. It’s black and says “Believe” on it. Hangs on a little ball chain. He found it again not too long ago and decided it was time to start wearin’ it again. Maybe it brings him luck, who knows? Folks do have their superstitions.
Now, back to this wife of his. Mary, she’s more than just a wife, she’s a stepma, like I said. And it sounds like Penny has kids with different women. See, he had a sweetheart in high school, Latarsha McCray. She’s the one who had them two girls back in the 90s. Then he had them two boys with someone else I guess, though the story don’t say who. And now he’s married to Mary.
So, to sum it all up, Penny Hardaway? Yes, he’s married. He’s married to Mary McDonnell. She’s a stepma to his four kids, and they seem to be makin’ it work. He’s got his boys playin’ basketball, and he’s got that key he believes in. Life’s a funny thing, ain’t it? You just gotta keep on believin’ and keep on movin’, just like Penny and Mary.
And you know, family is important, that’s what it all comes down to. Penny might have a complicated family situation, with kids from different relationships and all, but he seems to be tryin’ to make it work. And that’s what matters, ain’t it?
So next time you hear someone talkin’ about Penny Hardaway, you can tell ’em, “Oh yeah, that fella, he’s married. Got a whole bunch of kids and a wife who takes care of ’em all.” And that’s the whole truth, as far as I can tell.
