WNBA Star Maya Moore Marries Wrongfully Convicted Man She Helped Free from Prison
Jonathan added he previously proposed to her while he was incarcerated but told her not to respond, because he didn't want to hold her back. "I wanted to marry her but at the same time protect her because being in a relationship with a man in prison, it's extremely difficult and painful," he explained. "And I didn't want her to feel trapped and I wanted her to feel open and have the ability any time if this is too much for you, go and find somebody. Live your life.
However, his release from prison gave him the opportunity to make things official and take the next step in their romance. He said that he popped the question to Maya on the same day he walked out of prison. He shared, "When I got out we were in the hotel room we had some friends in the room, it was winding down and we were extremely tired, but we were still gassed up on excitement...
Additionally, Maya said she will reevaluate her future in the WNBA in the spring, explaining, "Right now I am trying to really just breathe from this long, long battle and enjoy and rest. There's a lot of unknowns for a lot of us right now so I'm still in that camp."
