Matt Barnes has a substantial bill he needs to pay to his ex-wife.
According to TMZ, a judge has ordered the former NBA player to pay his wife, former “Basketball Wives” star Gloria Govan, $133,976.54 in past-due child support payments.
Barnes and Govan married in 2013 but divorced two years later.
Back in 2018, Barnes had his monthly child support slashed from $20,000 to $7,500. They share two teenage sons together.
Gloria, who is married to Derek Fisher, went to court and claimed he has not been keeping up with his payments.
The two of them have been at odds ever since Barnes allegedly drove 95 miles in 2015 to beat up former teammate Derek Fisher, who was dating Barnes’ estranged wife and spending time with their then six-year-old twin sons.

Barnes set the record straight years later on what actually went down and said he and Fisher are cool now.
“Fast forward, we buried the hatchet, we spoke, because they’re still together,” Barnes said in 2021 on the “Charges With Rex Chapman” podcast.
“To me, it’s about raising these twins the best we possibly can, and co-parenting. So now he and I are cool. We’re on the same page. We communicate and see each other when we’re at events. They’ve been to my house for the twins’ birthday, I’ve been to their place.
“But obviously it’ll be something that’s kind of in infamy now because Kanye [West] rapped about it [in his “30 Hours” song], and everyone thinks he stole my chick — like, he started dating my ex-wife, that’s what it was. He didn’t steal s–t from me.
“What I’m tripping off is that you’re in my house that I pay for with my kids and you didn’t tell me, that’s what I told him.”
