Okay, so, I’ve been seeing this name, Zach Edey, popping up everywhere lately, especially after he just got drafted into the NBA. Naturally, I got curious. Who is this guy? And then, of course, the next question that popped into my head was about his parents. Are they still together? You know how it is with athletes and celebrities – their personal lives often become public fodder.
So, I started digging. First, I hit up the usual spots – the sports news sites and Wikipedia, obviously. Found out some cool stuff about Zach himself. Apparently, this guy is HUGE, like 7 foot 4, making him the tallest player in Big Ten history. No wonder he’s such a big deal in basketball! Also, he has a 4-year $26.2 million contract with the Grizzlies. He also has some tattoos, some about his hometown and others are three yin-yang tattoos.
Then I moved on to the parent hunt. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. There’s not a ton of information about them out there, which is kind of refreshing, honestly. But, from what I could gather, it looks like his parents, Glen and Julia, are still married. That’s sweet, right?
I found a few articles mentioning that they’re both super supportive of Zach’s career. His mom, Julia, even spends part of the year near Purdue so she can be at his games. That’s some serious dedication! And she is a Canadian. As for his dad, Glen, all I could find was that he’s also Canadian and used to work at a gas station when he was younger. Nothing juicy there, just a regular, supportive dad, it seems.
So, yeah, that’s the gist of what I found out. No big drama, no scandalous headlines, just a seemingly normal family supporting their son’s basketball dreams. It’s actually kind of nice to see, in a world where celebrity families are often in the news for all the wrong reasons.
- Zach Edey’s parents, Glen and Julia, appear to be still married.
- They are both Canadian.
- Julia is a very supportive mom, even relocating part-time to be closer to Zach during the basketball season.
- Glen is also supportive and seems like a regular guy.
What I Learned:
It took some time, but it was a fun little investigation. It’s always interesting to get a glimpse into the lives of these athletes and their families. It makes them seem more relatable, you know?
