Charles Barkley is not a very private person.
The former NBA star turned broadcaster has lived his life in front of the camera, from his playing days to his post-retirement days.
However, while Barkley is a pretty public facing person, his longtime wife is not.
Barkley is married to his longtime wife, Maureen. The couple met during his playing days in Philadelphia.
Barkley has joked about why his marriage is successful.
“Well, No. 1 I’m gone a lot. That always helps,” the 11-time All-Star joked to Renee Paquette. “I think the main reason is she accepts my flaws and all. She doesn’t judge me, accepts me how I am, she’s a great mother.”
Charles and Maureen have one child together. They’ve spent some time with other NBA greats, too.

Cheatsheet had more on the relationship:
She met her future hubby in the late ’80s at a Pennsylvania restaurant called City Avenue. At the time she was working as a legal aid and model promoting Noblerex K-1, and Sir Charles was playing for the Philadelphia 76ers, the team that selected him with the fifth pick in the 1984 NBA Draft.
The pair tied the knot in 1989 and have been together ever since. Today, they reside in Scottsdale, Arizona, and have managed to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.
Hopefully Charles and Maureen are still going strong.
