Okay, so I got curious the other day about Penny Hardaway. Great player back in the day, now coaching. And I thought, who’s his wife? Simple question, right? So, I started poking around online.
First thing I found pretty easily was about his high school girlfriend, a woman named Latarsha McCray. It seems they were together for a long time, way back. The info mentioned they had kids together. Found mentions of an older daughter, LaTanfernee, born around 1992, which makes sense given his timeline. Then saw something about a younger daughter born much later, maybe 2005.
- Found info on Latarsha McCray.
- Confirmed they had daughters together.
- Saw birth years mentioned for them.
Seemed straightforward enough. But then I kept digging, looking for more current stuff. And that’s where it got a little confusing. I stumbled across some bits talking about a wife named Yolanda, living up in Michigan, and mentions of kids named Tim Jr., Nia, and Nina.
Hold Up a Second…
Wait, Tim Jr.? Michigan? That didn’t quite sound like Penny Hardaway’s story. Sounded a lot more like Tim Hardaway, the other famous NBA point guard from that era. You know, Run TMC Tim Hardaway. It felt like maybe some websites or sources were mixing the two Hardaways up. It happens, I guess. Both famous, both played basketball.
So, I had to kinda reset my search. Okay, ignore the Yolanda/Michigan stuff, that’s probably Tim’s family. Back to Penny. Anfernee Hardaway.
Trying to find solid, current info on whether Penny is married now and to whom… well, it wasn’t as simple as I thought it’d be. You see pictures, you see him at events, sometimes with women, but finding a definitive “This is Penny Hardaway’s current wife, named X” wasn’t plastered everywhere.
It seems like he keeps his more recent personal life, especially marriage details, pretty private compared to his playing career or even his coaching stuff now. You might see a name pop up here and there linked to him in articles or photos, but consistent, confirmed information was harder to nail down than I expected.
So, what did I figure out?
Well, I definitely confirmed the history with Latarsha McCray and their daughters. That seems well-documented. I also learned to be careful because information about him sometimes gets mixed up with Tim Hardaway. As for his current marital status? It seems he keeps that part of his life more private these days. Took a bit of digging just to figure that out!
