Larry Bird, Dinah Mattingly, 35 Years Together
Larry Bird, the basketball legend known as “Larry Legend” and “the Hick from French Lick,” isn’t just an icon on the court; he’s conquered the NBA from every angle. Rookie of the Year, MVP, Finals MVP, All-Star MVP, Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year—he’s aced them all.
Off the hardwood, Dinah Mattingly stands tall as his wife. They’ve been going strong since 1989. But it’s not just Larry; Dinah embraced the role of stepmom to Corrie Bird, born from Larry’s first marriage to Janet Condra. And there’s more to their family story. Dinah and Larry welcomed Mariah and Connor into their lives through adoption.
