Marita Stavrou married Reggie Miller in 1992

They met when they were introduced to each other by the Los Angeles  Lakers icon Magic Johnson and shortly after, they got married in August of 1992.

In 2000, what seemed like a perfect marriage to onlookers came crashing down as Marita’s husband filed for divorce just days before signing a $36 million contract with the Indiana Pacers.

While the whole reason for their divorce is not entirely revealed, her husband claimed that his wife got bored with him and it was evident on their Paris’ first night together. She found living his kind of life rather hard, but later adjusted to it.

Their $3 million mansions in Indianapolis got burnt down before they even moved in and after some investigations by the police department. It was rumored that Marita supposedly had a hand in it because she was against the family moving there, as she wanted to move to California and work on her career, though there was no proof and no charges were brought against her.

The couple finally separated in 2000 before their divorce came a year later, following series of court dramas.
