Gloria Govan and Laura Govan are waving bye to Basketball Wives LA and are getting a show of their own. Gloria is married to LA Clippers player Matt Barnes and Laura is the wife of former NBA player Gilbert Arenas. Together the sisters, their husbands and barrage of children are coming to a TV near you. Read more after the jump.
In a press release from the JasmineBRAND, Gloria confirms that a show is in the work for her, husband Matt (with whom she just had a second wedding with cameras present–she walked down the aisle to Tupac’s “All Eyes On Me” by the way), sister Gloria, Gloria’s husband Gilbert Arenas and their brood of children.
Gloria tells the site, “We’re working on a family show – me and my sister, Gilbert, Matt, all of our kids – you know, my sister has got like 18 kids. So the show would be just the Govans. I mean the Govan sisters and their husbands and their families. You know Gilbert Arenas is one of the greatest players that has played. Matt is obviously, he just came off from one of his best seasons in his entire career so we’re really excited about what that one brings.”
Touting the show as portraying what it’s really like to be a basketball wife, Gloria adds, “Really, we just want to show people that the real, true grind of the basketball wives and just being what it looks like to be in that life. Mainly I think it’d really just show us and our families and how much stuff we really have going on.”
