Replying his Tweet, Maya also posted a photo on her Instagram, have a look.
Then later the day of their meeting came as he made his way out with a unanimous eviction on February 19, 2018. Finally the day out of prison for Metta World Peace.
After that, in his interview with People, Metta revealed that he missed his wife, probably pointing out Maya Ford. But the couple is not married officially, so maybe they are married in secret or he calls out his love as his wife.
Currently, the couple is reported to be enjoying their life in each other's hugs. Really it is hard to live far from your love. Let's wish them best.
Well, Metta was married to Kimsha Artest Hatfield; the couple got married secretly in June 2003, while Metta was known by his former name Ron Artest.
Metta's ex-wife Kimsha, besides being known as the former wife of Metta, is also known as one of the main cast members of the show named Basketball Wives LA, along with Matt Barnes' former wife Gloria Govan, Doug Christie's wife Jackie Christie, Laura Govan, and NBA's Stephen Jackson's ex-fiancee Imani Showalter.
During his married relationship with Kimsha, the former couple shared 2 daughters namely Diamond Artest and Sadie and a son named Ron Artest III. But no further details of the children are out.
Time of tragedy came as Metta and Kimsha got divorced quietly in 2009 after 6 years of their marriage. However, the reason for their divorce is still a mystery, but the former couple reportedly is raising their children in their joint custody.
Have a look at Metta's daughter Diamond.
She is cute and really lucky to have a loving father like Metta.
But Metta is also a father to another child though.
Yeah, Metta's love story has included his high school too. Metta reportedly shares a son with his high school girlfriend, Jennifer Palma.
The former couple named their son, Jeron Artest and currently, Jeron lives with his biological father. Have a look at Metta's Instagram post sharing a video of Jeron, who plays basketball.
However, no information of Jennifer has surfaced on the internet after the couple's break-up. But past is past, as Metta is living happily with his love Maya Ford.
Really love never vanishes, just comes in a new form.
