WORD!? Gloria Govan and Matt Barnes Call It Quits

"Matt Barnes and Gloria Govan"

I know Shaunie O’Neal is somewhere doing the tootsie roll in celebration of this news. It’s sad news, but we all know O’Neal had been questioning Gloria Govan and Matt Barnes’ relationship since the wedding that never happened. Well folks, it looks like that wedding really won’t be happening at all, because Matt Barnes (of all people) has spread the news that he and the “Basketball Wives” star are finished.

“I’d like to address the rumors surrounding mine and Gloria’s relationship. We have reached the difficult decision of ending our relationship and will be going our separate ways at this time. We will work together to raise our sons and wish each other only the best.”

According to the Los Angeles Times, Barnes put Govan on front street through Twitter just last week after one follower told him he should marry her, or someone else would. His response: “He can have her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Govan didn’t take that mess lying down, and responded to his statement by saying the following through the good ‘ol social media ish starter: “If someone is dumb enough to walk away, be smart enough to let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you.”

Dang…and they were just starting to look like they had their relationship on lock (remember when they went to dinner with the Christies, and Matt was all mushy-gooshy about Gloria?). But let’s be real, we all know reality TV has a way of putting relationships in the hole, especially when you have to fake being happy for the cameras continuously. It’s just sad to think that they can’t work things out for the benefit of those little twin boys (3-year-old Carter and Isiah), but they’ve obviously got some issues if they’re playing that mess out on Twitter. Hey, if they aren’t really happy, there’s no point in exposing the kids to drama. Ya feel me?

Did you see this coming?

    BAAAAASICALLLYYYYY! Child/ren should never be a couple’s ‘main’ reason to stay together. As a child of divorce and a mother of 2 school-aged children myself……TAKE MY WORD Y’ALL!

  • dee

    Regardless of the dumb comments she made on the orignal wives show… I'm not doing the ha ha dance; She's pretty and put her stuff out their so she'll find another baller that will marry her and put out with her stuff for a while. And Matt (who I do not find cute at all for some reason) will eat his heart out and move on as well.

    Twenty somethings can do that crap… it catches up in the thirties/forties! isn't life great!

  • Whocares

    Maybe they found out they were brother and sister. They sure as hell look like they could be.

  • Cora

    Is anybody really surprised? If he wanted her, he would have married her. Damn but those tweets are something else lol.

  • NEWHAIR5000

    well as funny as this is,i can honestly say that i feel sorry for her and i do wish the best for them and their children.but truth i, we all saw this coming. especially the way they treated each other in some of the episodes.

    Sad part is that they were together since they were 12 years old. They weren't just a NBA couple they were friends. I can't help but the think the kids were insurance though.

    • Brianna

      wrong gloria knew Matt since she was 12. He is very much older than her, when she was 12 he was 16 or 17 and I doubt they had any real type of friendship back then they just knew each other or more like knew of one another.

    Gotta be careful when you trot out your relationship to rub other folks in the mud. I felt a little funny about the whole thing when Gloria was still on the Miami cast. You can delay the wedding all you want, but if you're planning on getting married and kids come into the picture it's not hard to take your behind to the JOP to get that marriage started…for the sake of the kids if nothing else.

    I smell a publicity stunt with this – wouldn't be surprised if they reconcile again.
