Gregg Popovich, the San Antonio Spurs’ longtime head coach, marries Mary Barth Budenholzer. Reports say the wedding takes place in Texas, and that Popovich is married to Mary Barth Budenholzer, who is described as the ex-wife of his former longtime Spurs assistant coach Mike Budenholzer.
All outlets link the relationship to Popovich’s history with Budenholzer. Popovich and Budenholzer coached together in San Antonio for nearly two decades, a period that includes four NBA championships. Fox News and CBS Sports emphasize the connection through that shared coaching tenure, while The Oregonian characterizes the marriage as relatively low-profile.
Beyond the basic facts of the marriage and the identity of the spouse, the coverage varies mainly in tone and framing—Fox uses “shocks” language, while other outlets describe the event more plainly—rather than contesting the details. No sources cited provide further context about when the couple began dating or about the wedding ceremony beyond its location.
