‌ Barkley has never backed away from voicing his opinion, but in 2015 he delved into something a bit more personal than usual when discussing NFL player Josh Gordon. She’s teamed up with the Fresh Start Women’s Foundation in the past, which works to provide women with “education, resources and support to positively transform their lives.” Maureen was also spotted with her daughter at the Fresh Start Fashion Gala in 2016, an event which raised more than $1.5 million for the Foundation. And while she hasn’t ever been quite as vocal as her husband, Maureen does do a considerable amount of charity work. In fact, she’s a regular on Twitter, providing updates and insights into her life. Maureen has, mostly, stayed under the radar throughout her marriage, but she’s maintained a strong social media presence. They tied the knot in 1989 while Barkley was playing for the Philadelphia 76ers, but settled in Scottsdale, Arizona when basketball took them across the country. The pair reportedly first crossed paths while Maureen was working as a model and legal aid and it didn’t take long for the two to hit it off.
