If you’ve kept up with Stephon Marbury’s basketball legacy, you’d know his story didn’t end with the NBA. In fact, it only got bigger when he took his talents to the Chinese Basketball Association. Over there, he didn’t just ball out—he became a national icon. But beyond the championships and statues, China seemed to hand him something more meaningful than fame. A video that recently went viral might just have dropped the biggest clue yet: love found him on the other side of the world.
Now, following his divorce in 2023, fans were already curious about Starbury’s next chapter off the court. That curiosity turned into full-blown speculation when a clip surfaced of Marbury and Chinese singer Wang Yuling. Sure, the convo wasn’t in English, but captions did the talking. As one post revealed, “Stephon Marbury had announced his marriage to Yuling in that very clip.” What really grabbed people’s attention, though, was the line floating across social media translations that the ex-Knicks star is now officially a “Chinese son-in-law.”
Moreover, things only heated up when reports claimed the pair actually tied the knot on April 7. But here’s the twist—Wikipedia lists the wedding as happening in Philadelphia. That bit doesn’t quite line up with how deeply rooted Marbury’s been in Chinese culture lately.
Still, while the internet works overtime trying to pin down the exact location, Wikipedia doubled down on the Philly mention. So, who exactly is Wang Yuling—the woman who just might have captured Starbury’s heart? Let’s find out.
Who really is Stephon Marbury’s wife?
She’s not just a pop culture face in China—Wang Yuling’s journey has its own impressive highlights. Born in Wuhan, Hubei, her early days were spent as a swimmer on the Hubei provincial team, according to China Minutes. But sports weren’t her only calling. Eventually, she swapped lanes from the pool to the runway, studying at the London College of Fashion and jumping headfirst into the world of entertainment.
Now, fast forward to today, and Yuling is far from a one-note talent. She was a contestant on the very first season of The Voice of China back in 2012, and her career’s only grown since. As China Minutes noted, she’s now juggling roles as a singer, musician, actress, and stylist—all while staying in the public eye and creative circles.
More importantly, her love story with Stephon Marbury sounds like something out of a movie script. It happened in 2023 at a pub in Beijing. He heard her sing while sipping a beer and was instantly moved. So much so, he told her, “your singing felt like a massage for my heart,” before asking for her WeChat. Now, while we wait for more insights from them, let’s rewind to Marbury’s past marriage.
Stephon Marbury’s ex-wife, Tasha
Now that we’ve met the woman he’s possibly married to, it’s only fair we talk about the one he used to be with. Tasha Marbury, his ex-wife, didn’t leave with bitterness—she left with clarity. In her own words, “We’re divorced, but it’s amicable. We’re happy, we are good where we are.” That sense of peace didn’t just come from time—it came from growth. As of 2025, Celebrity Net Worth lists her wealth at a staggering $45 million. Not bad for someone who built her world from the ground up.
But Tasha’s success wasn’t handed to her. Born and raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, she’s been based in Purchase, NY, since 1996. Raised by her mom and the eldest of three siblings, she stayed close to her roots while working hard on her academics. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Zoology from North Carolina State in 1998, followed by a nursing degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 2000.
Tasha and Stephon tied the knot in NYC on September 14, 1999. They had two children together—Xaviera and Stephon II. There is no publicly confirmed reason for Stephon Marbury and Tasha Marbury’s divorce. The couple finalized their separation on June 12, 2023, after nearly 24 years of marriage, but neither has publicly shared specific details about what led to the split.
So, while their paths have clearly gone in different directions, both have managed to turn the page with grace and no regrets.
