Sometimes, the situation in a relationship is not as we expect and we have to prepare for the worst. The same case was with Eddy Curry's married life with his second wife Patrice Curry.
By the time, Patrice was engaged to Eddy, she was the stepmother of Eddy's son Eddy III. In 2010, when she was pregnant with her 2nd child, she was a legal guardian to her teenage sister Brandi and was depressed due to lots of pressure as per an old blog:
I’m on my 2nd child out of wedlock and inside I’m not so happy about it. I mean she nor her brother were accidents since their father and I planned my pregnancies but reality can set in and hit you like a ton of bricks.
And following 4 years of Patrice's marriage to Eddy, Eddy's ex-girlfriend was murdered and his son Noah was added to the family. In June 2009, Curry's Chicago home was in foreclosure with $220,000 in mortgage payments.
The case worsened when Eddy's career was over in 2013.
She said:
I’m married and raising my husband’s 4-year-old son which is so stressful on us but I guess you do things for love.
Later, Patrice joined the cast of Basketball Wives: LA in season four along with Shaunie O'Neal and slowly the family came in balance. But even now, Eddy Curry's current professional career is not disclosed.
Huge applause to the brave and hardworking lady Patrice.
