NBA great Allen Iverson reveals he and ex-wife Tawanna are back together as he celebrates six months of sobriety

Allen Iverson, the former NBA star known as 'The Answer,' has publicly announced that he is now sober and has reunited with his ex-wife, Tawanna, following a period of personal struggles since his retirement in 2013. In an interview with Stephen A. Smith on ESPN's First Take, Iverson discussed how his lowest point came when Tawanna divorced him that same year, which he described as a self-inflicted situation that prompted deep self-re-evaluation.

Iverson emotionally recounted the impact of seeing "Iverson vs. Iverson" on legal documents during the divorce proceedings, which brought him to tears and symbolized his rock bottom. He emphasized that despite trying various approaches to cope, nothing worked until he faced this moment, which he is now reflecting on in his memoir, "Misunderstood."

The couple, who are high school sweethearts from Virginia and married in 2001, share five children and have been together for over 35 years. Although they divorced in 2013 and had an on-and-off relationship since, Iverson confirmed they are now firmly back together, highlighting the longevity and significance of their bond.

Iverson's sobriety, which he has maintained for six months, played a pivotal role in their reunion. He shared that Tawanna prayed for him for the first time when he decided to stop drinking, marking a genuine change in his behavior that contributed to their renewed relationship, and he considers this one of the best decisions of his life.
