Patrick Ewing’s Personal Life:

After a brief affair, NBA legend Patrick Ewing married his girlfriend Rita Williams. Their wedding took place in the early 1990s. The couple met at Howard University, where Rita was pursuing her Bachelor of Science in nursing.

Patrick Ewing Jr., Randi Ewing, and Corey Ewing are the couple’s three children.

Heather Errico ran into Patrick at various away games, despite the fact that dancers don’t usually accompany the team out of town.

Patrick has a daughter, Alexis, with his current girlfriend, Cheryl Weaver. Weaver, his lady, is a former indoor volleyball player who has competed on the AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour.

Ewing made a brief appearance in the film Senseless. Prior to that, he appeared in the film Space Jam alongside some well-known basketball players such as Larry Johnson, Muggsy Bogues, Charles Barkley, and Shawn Bradley.
