Margot Brennan has just divorce his husband coach Margot Kerr

Steve Kerr is married to Margot Brennan Kerr and the couple has been together for over 30 years now. The Golden State Warriors head coach met his future wife on a blind date while they were both attending the University of Arizona and the couple has three kids. Margot Kerr is very supportive of her husband’s career.

Here’s what you need to know about Steve Kerr’s wife Margot Brennan Kerr:

Margot Kerr was born Margot Brennan in Tucson, Arizona, in 1967. Her mother, Karen, is an author, a poet and a professor, and Kerr grew up with three siblings. After graduating from high school, she met her future husband when they were both sophomores at the University of Arizona.

“Bruce Fraser, ‘Q’, was my best friend,” Kerr recalled on In My Court, “And he said, ‘Hey, you should meet this girl who’s a really good friend of the girl I’m going out with.” Kerr said he was interested in going on a double date with Fraser, who’s now Kerr’s assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors. Fraser admitted it was a bit of a “selfish” ask just to get his best friend to hang out with them, but that blind date turned into a deep, lasting relationship of over 35 years.

“I think [Fraser] thought, ‘These two are nerdy, they’ll get along,’” Margot Kerr joked while speaking to SF Gate about their first date.

Their relationship had several uncertainties in the early days because they weren’t sure where Kerr’s basketball career would take him. Since Kerr had a redshirt year before his senior season, Margot Kerr graduated a year before her then-boyfriend and was living in Los Angeles where she had a job with an advertising agency, she told SF Gate. Kerr then got drafted by the Phoenix Suns and she said they were both “shocked” by the news.

“It was such a long shot for him to make the NBA,” she told In My Court. The couple made their relationship work long-distance for a year before Margot Kerr left her job and decided to move to Phoenix. However, just before she made the jump, Kerr was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers so she moved to Ohio with him instead. The couple tied the knot just a couple of years into Kerr’s NBA career and have been married ever since.

The Kerrs have three kids who are all adults now: Nick Kerr, Madeleine “Maddy” Kerr, and Matthew Kerr. Their eldest, Nick Kerr, was just 3 weeks old when Kerr was traded to Orlando from Cleveland, Margot Kerr told In My Court. “We lived in a Marriott [hotel] for about three weeks in one room,” Kerr shared. “For a first-time mother of a 3-week-old child, that’s a lot. She just rolls with all that stuff,” he praised his wife.

After a year with the Magic, Kerr was traded to the Chicago Bulls for five years, where he would win three NBA championships. During that time, the Kerrs welcomed two more children, Maddy and Matthew. “We somehow hit the lottery with our kids, I can’t believe they turned out so well,” Margot Kerr laughed as she spoke to In My Court. Kerr called his wife an “incredible mother in terms of creating a really happy home.”

Nick Kerr graduated from the University of San Diego, where he played basketball, and is now an assistant coach with the Santa Cruz Warriors, according to his LinkedIn. While speaking with Mercury News, Nick Kerr said he’d always thought about becoming a basketball coach and he realized in college that he “wasn’t good enough to keep playing” professionally but he wanted to still be involved in the game and try to influence and improve players and teams.

Maddy Kerr, who was a volleyball star in college, is a lawyer who graduated from the University of California, Berkeley’s School of Law and was admitted to the State Bar of California in January 2023, according to public records. She now works as a corporate associate at Gunderson Dettmer, her LinkedIn shows. In an interview with Berkeley News, Maddy Kerr said she takes after her mother: “I’m feisty and outspoken like my mom. She’s tough.”

The youngest in the family, Matthew Kerr, isn’t into sports like the rest of the Kerrs but despite that, he’s still very much involved in the sporting world but in a completely different way. After attending USC film school and studying screenwriting and comedy TV writing, Matthew Kerr became a writing assistant on “Ted Lasso” for season 2.
