If you missed episode 6 of Basketball Wives, you missed a great one. Luckily, you can catch up right here by watching the episode in its entirety. The wives get charitable in this episode, with Jennifer Williams hosting a benefit and Royce Reed inviting the other ladies to volunteer at a soup kitchen. There's also a ton of gossipy gold as the ladies dissect the latest rumors and take shots at one another.
Gloria Govan
Gloria Govan is the fiancée of Matt Barnes and mother of his two children. They are rumored to be marrying in July 2010. 24-year-old Gloria is a mother of twin boys and the youngest of the basketball wives. She often clashes with the other wives due to her adamant stance that Matt is different from other NBA players and that their relationship is strong enough to weather the standard challenges of the professional basketball lifestyle. There is tension between her and Shaunie at points due to the scandal surrounding her older sister. Laura Govan, formerly Gilbert Arenas' fiancée, is said to have cheated on Gilbert with Shaquille while he was still married to Shaunie. Shaunie, however, tells Gloria that she doesn't hold it against her in the first episode.
