Love Conquers Race: Married In Front Of Judge, Children?
Maureen got married to Charles, a legendary figure of NBA history, in 1989. She met Charles while working as a part-time model in the Bucks County. They accidentally caught each other’s eye at a City Avenue restaurant. However, they weren't confident enough to talk to each other due to their different racial backgrounds. Later, the pair started dating after getting to know each other.
Her nuptials with Charles in the late 80's and 90's created public controversies. The pair married in front of a judge just to abate people's criticism of racial marriages. Just a year before their wedding in 1998 in Philadelphia, a famous African-American basketball player was bashed for his relationship with a white woman.
