WNBA's Maya Moore Marries Jonathan Irons, Man She Helped Free from Prison

Moore -- considered one of the greatest WNBA players EVER -- hadJonathan Irons40-year-old Irons was serving a 50-year prison sentence stemming from a 1998 burglary and assault conviction in Missouri, despite no real evidence proving his guilt. Irons was only 16 at the time of the conviction.

Moore explained the growth of their relationship ... saying,"Over the last 13 years we have just developed a friendship and just entered into this huge battle to get him home and just over time it was pretty clear what the Lord was doing in our hearts and now we're sitting here today, starting a whole new chapter together."

"I wanted to marry her but at the same time protect her because being in a relationship with a man in prison, it's extremely difficult and painful," Irons said.

What a good story with a happy ending!

excellent teachings...... serious

Was she not a lesbian a couple of years ago? Honest question? I am confused

Weird flex but ok

🤔 hmmmm

Was they in love before he went in ? Or he owes the favour that she just got a stranger out ?

You should have mentioned he was wrongfully convicted in the title.

love to see it, need more family formations, and more love, and forgiveness

A Queen 👑 I stan 💯

Of course

All I can say is wow.

Nice guys lose again!

I predict a follow up tmz domestic violence story

What's the WNBA?

I knew she was interested in marrying this man, that is why she had gone through that struggles to free him. Loves will find you anywhere you are.

She was very attractive to him 😂😂😂! I can't stop laughing.

I knew there was something else in the story I’f she just end up quitting basketball for this guy

Very funny

She stalked, helped n married a prisoner 😂😂! No prenuptial agreement 😂😂!

Aight MonicaDenise here's your sigh 😏

They actually met years ago in a youth ministry. I can't wait for the documentary.

This is an amazing story of a quest to recover a man’s character & fight the corrupt system that stole life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness from him. Our laws are sacred & those in power who have no honor or integrity must be held accountable for abusing our courts like this

I knew he was hitting it

This man hit the jackpot. That's crazy. He'll never win an argument tho. Lol

He looks 🌈 but let me move on

I saw this coming... Congrats!

Omg, this is classic 😂🤣😂

Eh, you can find love in the strangest ways or places

Tf

Wow. It’s a made for TV movie.

GOOD LUCK WIT DAT GEMINI.......... If you run into any problems, you reach out to zodiac...........

Ohhhh so that's what this is about now getting prison 🥒 hmmm so who Kim k gonna marry from prison hmmmmm let's stay tune and find out

Good thing she lives her life the way she wants, and not how others think she should live it. Good for her!!

He put that game down on her . better get vasoline thats along time behind bars

🤔You helped with his release. That doesn’t mean marry him. I get emotional can happen. This is inappropriate and it may come back to bite her. Yes,he was wrongfully convicted. He may have hidden emotional issues. Be careful and congratulations.

Whaaaaaaat⁉️

She Never let a good crisis go to waste.

It’ll never work!

LET THE RECORD SHOW MAYA MOORE MISSED WORK TO GET DICKED DOWN

Congratulations that is awesome love at first sight

Is it that difficult to find a man of equal yoke?! Damn!

Congrats to her and him

Good for her. Hope those two are happy.

I don’t why women love prison men, but if you’re happy then I’m happy

👀🏀

Well that is a another way to get a husband.

I knew she was freeing this man from prison to marry him there's nothing free I scratch your back you scratch mine. Anyway, at least he no longer behind physical bars but she's going to treats him as her prisoner, in this unnatural marriage.

Well at least she ain’t do it for clout like that reality chick did the Brooklyn 5 dude..

Awesome

Completely inappropriate. No better than a prison guard getting knocked up by a prisoner. Shameful.

RationalMale

So she MARRIED a got damn inmate? The blackwoman has absolute horrible man picking choices!!!!!

Wow

That was a feel good story. Awesome ending
