Who is Charles Barkley’s wife Maureen Blumhardt?

The couple has been married for over 30 decades. Charles joked that the one “secret” to his long, successful marriage is that he’s gone all the time.

“Well, No. 1 I’m gone a lot. That always helps,” he quipped in a 2021 Sports Illustrated interview, before adding, “I think the main reason is she accepts my flaws and all. She doesn’t judge me, accepts me how I am, she’s a great mother.”
