Popovich, 76, married Mary Barth Budenholzer on September 16, eight years after the death of his first wife, Erin.
Gregg Popovich, the San Antonio Spurs' longtime head coach turned president of basketball operations, has remarried, tying the knot with Mary Barth Budenholzer on September 16 in Texas, according to a marriage license obtained by TMZ.
Budenholzer was previously married to Mike Budenholzer, who served as a Spurs assistant under Popovich from 1996 to 2013 before going on to a head-coaching career of his own; the two divorced in 2016. Popovich was married to his first wife, Erin, for 42 years before her death in 2018. He stepped down as Spurs head coach in May 2025 after 29 seasons.
