Corinne Gobert

Meet Corinne Gobert; she is the beautiful and loving mother of NBA player Rudy Gobert. Her son is the French center player for the Utah Jazz. Prior to the NBA, Gobert played with the Bakersfield Jam, Chloe Basket.

Corinne Gobert welcomed her son Rudy with her ex-husband Rudy Bourgarel. Mr. Bourgarel was born on August 27, 1965, in Guadeloupe, France. In addition to playing with France National team, he played with French Stadium in 1984, Racing CF from 1988 to 1990; joined Saint Quentin in 1990 and ended his career with Toulouse ASPTT in 1994.

Corinne Gobert was born in Saint-Quentin, Champagne-Ardenne, France; where she still lives. Mrs. Gobert a retired cosmetologist was a single mother of two when she met Rudy Bourgaret.

They welcomed their son on  June 26, 1992, but by the time her son was three, Corinne and Rudy split up.

 He moved back to his hometown in Guadeloupe and she stayed in Saint-Quentin with her three children.

Mrs. Gobert raised and supported her son especially when he got himself in trouble in school.

Rudy wasn’t always so sure of himself, she says. He was an excellent student but would get into fights at school, I tried to help him channel his aggression into sports: track and field, boxing, karate, even Ping-Pong.

Eventually, he found basketball, the sport that dragged him out of the apartment he lived with his mom until the age of 15.

So, Corinne is for sure Rudy’s #1 girl, but perhaps you are wondering if there is #2 Girl in Gobert’s heart? We haven’t found her thus far. Some people believe he dated or is still dating Bianca Fairchild, however, there isn’t anything to support that claim.

Lorraine McGrath

Lorraine McGrath is the long time wife of basketball hall of fame sportscaster, Dick Vitale, also known as ‘Dickie V.’ Her hubby is widely known as a college basketball broadcaster for ESPN.

Lorraine’s hubby is a New Jersey native whose career began as a head coach in the college and professional ranks. Known for his enthusiastic and colorful remarks, Vitale has also graced the screen appearing in a number of movies. He is also the author of several books.

Born Richard John Vitale on June 9, 1939, the Passaic, New Jersey native graduated from Seton Hall University with a bachelor of science degree in business administration. He also earned a master’s degree in education from William Paterson College.

Beginning in 1959, he coached basketball at the elementary and high school levels.

As a commentator he developed a reputation for his buzz words such as ‘Diaper Dandy’ and ‘PTPer.’ He joined ESPN during the 1979-80 season, just after the network’s September 1979 launch.

In 2008 he was selected as an inductee into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. With him all these years, his wife Lorraine has been his biggest fan.

He and wife Lorraine McGrath have been married for decades. Meet her below.

Lorraine McGrath is actually Dick’s second wife. He was previously married to Joanne.

He and Lorraine McGrath have been married since 1970.

Lorraine and her husband are the proud parents of two adult children. Lorraine McGrath is the mother of daughters, Sherri and Terri Vitale. Both of the couple’s daughters attended Notre Dame on tennis scholarships. Sherri and Terri both hold MBAs from Notre Dame.

Daughter Terri is married to former Notre Dame lacrosse player Christopher Sforzo, who is now a doctor. Sherri to football quarterback Thomas Krug, who is now a judge.

Lorraine and Dick are the proud grandparents to Terri’s son and daughter; and also to Sherri’s twin sons and daughter.

In 2015, Lorraine and her husband donated $1 million to the University of Notre Dame to provide financial assistance to undergraduate students with demonstrated need.

Being married for over four decades, Lorraine McGrath is certainly not shy when it comes to talking about her sexual life with her iconic basketball analyst husband.

During an interview a few years ago, she candidly revealed Vitale got more sexual during March madness. She told reporter at the time, her hubby uses certain erotic techniques only during March Madness, including the dipsy-doo dunkaroo; the super scintillating sensational slam-jam bam bam; the backdoor, baby; and the trifecta, which Lorraine would not describe in detail, but said involves the use of Mr. Vitale’s index, thumb, and forefinger.

The long time wife and mother of two added

Every woman deserves to experience, just once, the type of arousal I feel when my husband and I join together in the slap-a-lapp-anapper.”

According to The Onion, the couple’s odd and oftentimes graphic lascivious behavior began in March 1983. During that time, the two spontaneously made love on Testudo, an oversized bronze statue of a diamondback terrapin turtle that sits outside the University of Maryland library.

Marcus Smart

Marcus Smart, the 23-year-old Texas native and NBA player is one of the hottest players with the Boston Celtics.

Smart, born March 6, 1994 attended Edward S. Marcus High School in Flower Mound, Texas –where he began making headlines after leading the school to 2 State 5A championships and also by compiling a record of 115-6 during his three seasons there.

Smart who went onto play college basketball for the University of Oklahoma –also helped lead the USA to gold at the 2013 FIBA World U19 Championship.

During his two years of college basketball he was named Big 12 Player of the Year and USBWA National Freshman of the Year in 2013.

The 6 ft 4 in, point guard was then selected 6th overall in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics.

It appears Marcus Smart is a single dude, he is clearly currently focused on his career. The only special lady for the moment might only be his lovely mother Camellia Smat, pictured below. His father, Billy Frank is also in the picture.

Marcus lucky stars changed drastically during his teenaged years. You wouldn’t believe the NBA star used to throw rocks at people and could have ended up death or in jail, according to his own words.

Before becoming one of the nation’s most respected college basketball players, he suffered the loss of an older brother who died of cancer. Growing up in a neighborhood on the south of Dallas he called a war zone amid duplexes –didn’t help either. He once recounted how he was followed and shot by a member of the Bloods street gang and managed to scape the nearly deadly encounter.

He said about the troubling younger years:

“Thank God I had both parents and older brothers. My mom and brothers are my heroes … If I didn’t change what I was doing, I would be dead or in jail.”

But just as he was able to turn his luck around, will he be able to find a special woman? We think is juts a matter of time.

In the early 80’s he worked at the NBA’s league offices where from 1982 to 1999 he became the executive vice president, chief marketing officer and president of NBA Properties.

Welts currently serves as a board member of San Francisco Travel, the Bay Area Council and the Warriors Community Foundation. He is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame’s Direct Elect Committee and the NBA’s Team Advisory Committee.

But just as he rose through the ranks of corporate NBA his private life was a big mystery and even bigger secret. The secret ended in 2011 when he came out as gay during an interview with the New York Times.

He revealed his previous relationships had been required on his part, to be hidden from the public eye. But all that changed in 2011 when he revealed his sexual preference and even resigned his job as the Phoenix Suns’ president to relocate to northern California, in order to live with new and current boyfriend, Todd Gage.

Todd Gage and Rick Welts met in 2011. He is the father of two children and is a long time flight attendant. When they first met, Todd Gage worked in Oakland and has dual custody of then 7- and 10-year-old children from a previous marriage in Sacramento.

Gage has always kept a close relationship with his kids. He even served as their soccer coach. During an interview Welts described him a a ‘great father and absolute soccer nut.’

Nowadays, Welts commutes between the Bay Area and Carmichael, where he shares a home with his companion Todd Gage.

After Todd’s notorious partner left the Sun’s team he soon landed his current job as the Warriors president and since then has been hailed as a key part of the team’s rapid rise.
