Ladies, Matt Barnes is officially a single man.
After a year and 11 months of being married and one ugly break-up in 2014, Barnes and now ex-wife Gloria Govan are finally divorced — but it didn't come cheap.
According to a report by TMZ Sports, the Sacramento Kings forward was paying Govan $20,000 a month in spousal support the entire year of 2016 — totaling a near-quarter million dollars. After the end of the month, he's no longer required to pay her a dollar.
As far as the kids (they had twin boys back in 2008), his child support went from $5,000 per kid per month to $10,000 moving forward until his kids are 18.
A little simple math puts him at $2.4 million in total child support payments by the time the kids are of legal age.
The couple had to go to co-parenting counseling with hopes that they can move forward amicably.
Divorces are expensive and often messy, even more so when kids are involved and there's a media spotlight on the parents — but hey, happiness is priceless, right? Or so they say…
