Alright, so I got curious about Kyrie Irving’s wife the other day. You hear about Kyrie, his game, sometimes his off-court stuff, but I realized I didn’t know much about his partner. So, I decided to do a little digging, just my usual process when something pops into my head.

First thing I did was just open up a search bar. Typed in the obvious: ‘Kyrie Irving wife’. Pretty straightforward. Right away, the name Marlene Wilkerson started showing up everywhere. Okay, got a name. That’s step one.
Then I thought, okay, what’s her background? Like, her ethnicity? So I searched for ‘Marlene Wilkerson ethnicity’. This is where things got a bit less clear. Lots of stuff came up about her being an influencer, you know, social media stuff. Saw she’s into fashion, designs her own clothes apparently. Also saw mentions that they have two sons together. Some reports said they’re married, but it seems they haven’t really announced it big time.
Trying Different Angles
But the ethnicity part? It wasn’t jumping out at me. I kept seeing articles mentioning Kyrie’s background, which is interesting too. Like, how he was born in Australia ’cause his dad was playing ball there. And his mom, Elizabeth Larson. Found out she had Native American roots, specifically Standing Rock Sioux. It seems really important to Kyrie, that connection. He’s apparently quite active with the tribe. That’s cool, learned something new there.
But still, that was about his mom. Not about Marlene. I tried variations you know, ‘Marlene Wilkerson heritage’, ‘Marlene Wilkerson background’. Still mostly got the influencer, fashion, mom stuff. It’s like her specific ethnic background isn’t widely published or maybe just not something she puts out there much.
- Found her name: Marlene Wilkerson.
- Learned she’s an influencer and entrepreneur.
- Confirmed they have kids.
- Found info on Kyrie’s mother’s heritage (Standing Rock Sioux).
- Couldn’t find specific info on Marlene Wilkerson’s ethnicity.
So yeah, that was my little research journey on this one. Started trying to find one specific thing, ended up learning a few other details, but didn’t quite nail the original question. Sometimes it’s like that, the info just isn’t readily available or kept private. Fair enough I guess.
