Earlier this month, former NBA player and coach, Derek Fisher, got on one knee and asked his girlfriend, Gloria Govan, to marry him, to which she gave him a resounding yes.
According to TMZ, the proposal took place on April 7, during a family gathering at the couple’s home in Los Angeles. Govan was surrounded by her children and her nephew when Fisher popped the question.
The two have been in a relationship since 2015, and both are previously divorced. This has caused quite a bit of strife in their relationship, especially between Fisher and Govan’s former husband, Matt Barnes, a retired NBA who, last year, won a championship with the Golden State Warriors.
The beef between the two has been lengthy and bizarre. Some standout incidents include threats of a restraining order, passive aggressive Instagram comments, and Fisher crashing Barnes’ SUV during a DUI incident.
However, those of you who are expecting some new drama from Barnes may be disappointed, as he went to Instagram to post a totally healthy response to the engagement and with the couple congratulations.
In the post, Barnes writes, “I have two beautiful boys from my ex we are both focussing on co-parenting & providing the best atmosphere & childhood for them! They love him, so I love it.. Despite not seeing eye to eye initially w Derek he & i are on the same page & communicate weekly about isaiah & carter.. With that being said congrats on the engagement!”
It seems the beef has been totally squashed at this point. Congrats to Fisher and Govan on the engagement. Check out Barne’s response in full below:
