The second season of VH1’s Basketball Wives is already getting some early buzz. Chad Ochocinco confirmed to Ryan Seacrest today that he is engaged to Evelyn Lozada. But the real plot twist here is that Gloria Govan, the fiance of former Orlando Magic forward Matt Barnes, is coming back for another season and the two have set another wedding date.
You may recall that earlier this year, Matt Barnes and Gloria Govan each expressed their discontent with the show saying Shaunie O’Neal, the ex-wife of Shaquille O’Neal, mislead them. Apparently, the two made amends with Shaunie and the network because the couple’s public relations company sent out a release today notifying the public about an official “welcome to Los Angeles” party Govan is throwing for Matt Barnes
Despite saying she would not return for a second season earlier this spring, Govan’s public relations agency sent out a release today confirming the couple would return to the show and Govan was hosting a party in Los Angeles this weekend in honor of Matt Barnes signing with the Lakers.
From the release: “Make sure to tune into VH1 this season for ‘Basketball Wives’ and I can tell you that you will not be disappointed,” states the beauty siren, Gloria Govan.
Alrighty then.
The couple also announced their wedding is slated for the summer of 2012 and their colors are cobalt blue and lavendar.
Something tells me Otis Smith doesn’t regret cutting Matt Barnes and the surrounding circus.
