Gloria Govan Thinks Rumors Of Matt Barnes And Eva Longoria Could Be True

Does Gloria Govan realize she’s becoming everything Jennifer and Evelyn warned her about during season 1 of Basketball Wives? Gloria gave an interview where she says she thinks rumors of Eva Longoria and her ex-fiance, Matt Barnes might be true. And why dating a celebrity or professional athlete are possibilities for her future.

On the Eva Longoria Rumors
“I’m not sure if I think they’re rumors. I think at this point having been with Matt, I don’t really put anything past him. He hasn’t directly said, ‘I’m doing this. I’m doing that.’ I’ve heard from some sources that it could be a definite possibility.”

“Dang. I haven’t even been out of the house for a month. Those are the things that float around that start to get to you in your relationship. I know he denied it, but I don’t really know too much about that situation to say it’s not true, but I don’t know enough to say that it is. It wouldn’t surprise me.”

On Dating Athletes, Not Basketball Players
“Someone who dates multiple players like in the same field is a groupie.”

“If you continue to date athletes, you’re going to be considered a groupie. At some point in time, you have to have respect for yourself and not dip into the same cookie jar. I’m attracted to athletes, but I have enough respect for Matt not to date one of his colleagues.”

“At some point in time when I am starting to look to seriously date, it could be a celebrity or another athlete from another sport.”

Like I said before, reality TV and the spotlight of L.A., that’s always going to be a rough road to navigate. You think Laura remembers this conversation?

So Matt didn’t want Evelyn and Jenn to “corrupt” Gloria because she was “young and impressionable.” Damn, now Gloria is speaking almost the exact same words. :shrug: Oh well.
