MATT BARNES AND GLORIA GOVAN CALL OFF WEDDING, DOING SEASON 2 OF BASKETBALL WIVES AFTER ALL...

So, in a recent interview with Vibe, a few things about the controversial reality show couple came to light. After all the ish-talking about their disappointment in how they "were represented" in the Basketball Wives reality show and proclaiming they were not signing up for another go around, they've, despite this, officially signed up for Season 2Boooo!  Personally, we feel the show would be better off without them but who are we??? Anywhoo, along with that, they have also canceled their August 21st wedding so they can "work on their family". We read this on another blog a few weeks ago but didn't bother to report it 'cause, well, frankly we don't give a damn. But now since they're coming back on the show, it's our duty to keep ya'll up things. Gloria says in the interview that they don't want to rush into anything with regards to getting married. Hmmm. Mind you, they have 2 kids and live together, so it may be a little to late for that, ya think? Pop the Trunk for more & to read the interview for yourself...
Let them tell it, because of the success of Season 1 of Basketball Wives, and more so since they're moving to L.A. (Matt is a Laker now... Booo!) they both have many opportunities on deck. We're just waiting to see  this canceled wedding will rear its ugly head as a VH1 show. Nothing like having a network pay-for and air your wedding. Why not keep your dollars tucked away? It's a win, win! All we know is Matt better not let all this Tom-Foolery distract him from his Laker-duties. (3-Peat!!!) "That's what's up!"

Gloria on Why They Decided To Cancel The Wedding
Matt and I feel like marriage is something that shouldn’t be rushed into. It wasn’t any outside party. We’re committed and dedicated to working on our relationship and we’re still together but again, we felt like this wasn’t something that was in our hearts at the time. Marriage is something that is definitely our goal but again, we’re not rushing into something that we just feel like isn’t right for us at the time so we’re just taking the time to work on our family.

Gloria on the rumors surrounding the wedding

I think because we postponed the wedding, people just took it and ran with that and started challenging each other to see who can come up with the most ridiculous story. I think that’s how it started. I know Matt had let his groomsmen know as I had let a lot of my family members know that we were postponing the wedding, via text message and I think that also sparked a lot of our—one of Matt’s old teammate’s wedding that we were also suppose to be attending [but didn’t]—I think that also sparked a lot of the rumors that got out.
Matt on deciding to return for Season 2
I just think there was a lot of negative but a lot of positive came from it too. Gloria and I sat down and talked and we decided we gotta use the show the way they’re trying to use us. A lot of doors have opened up for her in opportunities that she would like to pursue for a career and a few things have opened up for me as well and with us moving back to LA even more doors are gonna be opened. So we feel that we can use the show the way they’re going to try to use us to get into our lives and our family.
Gloria on what she would like for people to take away from the Second Season
I just want people to know our relationship is never nor will it ever be perfect and that’s ok. I don’t think relationships should be rushed to what outside society wants. When you allow letting people in that’s when it starts to get messy and it becomes more stressful than it has to be. Relationships are tough and you have to work at them. You don’t have to submit yourself to what other people think and how they feel you should be doing in a relationship.
Haahahahaaaha! Are you serious? Okay, wait we'll see how this one plays out.

Go to Vibe for the entire interview...
