Larry Bird And Dinah Mattingly – 34 YEARS

Larry Bird, the legendary basketball player and coach, has been married to his wife, Dinah Mattingly, since 1989. The couple met in Indiana and started dating in 1984. They have two adopted children together, Conner and Mariah. Throughout their marriage, Bird and Mattingly have faced several challenges, including Bird’s health issues and the tragic loss of their adopted son, Connor, in 1992.

However, they have remained strong and supportive of each other. In an interview, Bird once said, “We’re a team. We work together, and we do everything together. That’s the way we like it.” Mattingly has also been a source of inspiration for Bird. She has been instrumental in his life, helping him overcome his drinking problem and supporting him through his coaching career. Today, they continue to live a happy and quiet life in Indiana, away from the spotlight. Their enduring marriage is a testament to their love and commitment to each other.
