Gregg Popovich Marries Mary Barth Budenholzer

A Bexar County marriage filing shows the move links Popovich’s private life to long‑standing ties from the Spurs dynasty and signals a new personal chapter as he serves as team president.

Overview

  • Public records filed in Bexar County, Texas, show Gregg Popovich and Mary Barth Budenholzer were married on September 16, according to multiple media reports.
  • The bride, Mary Barth, is the ex‑wife of Mike Budenholzer, who worked on Popovich’s Spurs staff for nearly two decades before becoming an NBA head coach and winning the 2021 title with the Milwaukee Bucks.
  • Popovich stepped away from coaching in May 2025 for health reasons and now serves as San Antonio’s team president, a role he has continued while keeping his private life out of official club channels.
