Former WNBA Star Maya Moore, Husband Jonathan Welcome First Child

Former Lynx star Maya Moore and her husband, Jonathan Irons, announced the birth of their first child, Jonathan Hughston Irons Jr., the pair told Good Morning America on Tuesday.

The newest member of the Irons family was born in February. The announcement of his arrival comes four days after the two-year anniversary of Jonathan’s release from prison.

Moore stepped away from the WNBA after the 2018 season to help free her now husband from a Missouri prison after a wrongful conviction. According to The New York Times, Irons was convicted at the age of 18 of a burglary and shooting at the home of Stanley Stotler, who survived the crime after being shot in the right temple and right arm.
