Bob Valvano is a seasoned sportscaster affiliated with ESPN2, ESPN Plus, and ESPNU, primarily covering college basketball. He is also a familiar voice on radio, known for his insightful commentary on basketball and sports culture. Prior to his broadcasting career, Valvano spent over 15 years in coaching roles, a period that helped shape his analytical approach to the game. In his early years, he was active in sports himself, having played basketball, soccer, and golf.
Valvano was previously married to Darlene, with whom he has two sons. Reportedly, the couple got married a year after he proposed, and they shared many years together. When asked about the longevity of their relationship during their 26th year of marriage, Valvano humorously noted that Darlene could still fit into her wedding dress and that he still acted like an eighteen-year-old. However, over time, speculation about the couple's separation began to surface, though these rumors remained unverified and lacked any formal confirmation from Valvano himself.
Though unconfirmed, Valvano once shared that he gave up his coaching career in part for Darlene, indicating priorities centered around family. Despite widespread rumors regarding their separation, no official documentation of divorce, alimony, or child custody arrangements has ever been made public. Darlene has consistently maintained a private life, rarely appearing in the media, and has not addressed any of the rumors publicly.
