True Love Waits!!!

First Name Tom, Last Name Foolery… And I’m Everybody’s Uncle!    

Even this civil rights injustice fighter… Maya Moore.

Former WNBA star Maya Moore on Wednesday announced that she & Jonathan Irons, whose wrongful conviction she helped overturn, were married over the summer.

Moore & Irons appeared on "Good Morning America" to share the news.

“We want to announce today that we are super excited to continue the work that we’ve been doing together, but doing it as a married couple,” Moore said.

“We’re excited to share this new chapter of life together.”

Moore, 31, paused her playing career in February 2019 to help overturn Irons' wrongful conviction. Now 40, Irons was sentenced to 50 years in prison in 1998 after he was convicted of breaking into a Missouri home & twice shooting a homeowner. In March, a judge ruled that prosecutors had suppressed fingerprint evidence that would have strengthened Irons' defense. He was released from prison on July 1.

Moore won four WNBA championships as a member of the Minnesota Lynx & was the league MVP in 2014. She was the 2011 WNBA Rookie of the Year, a six-time All-Star & a five-time All-WNBA first-team honoree. She won two national championships at UConn.

When asked if she had plans to return to basketball, Moore said she had no next steps yet.

"I am trying to really just breathe from this long, long battle," Moore said.

"There's a lot of unknowns for a lot of us right now. So I'm still in that camp."
