Chauncey Billups, also known as ‘The Big Shot’, has seen the NBA from both ends- as a player and coach.

But while Chauncey has achieved plenty in the NBA, there’s no doubt his loving wife has always stuck around with him, through the highs and lows, from the beginning of his career as a player and now his stint as a head coach.

Who is Chauncey Billups married to? All about head coach’s wife, Piper

Although her husband has been in the spotlight forever, Piper prefers to keep her personal life pretty private, and because of this not a lot of information is available/known about her on the internet. However, through a few sources, we do know that Piper Billups, formerly known as Piper Riley, attended George Washington High School. She would then go on to pursue a degree in marketing from Metropolitan State College of Denver.

Based on her Instagram account, Piper currently is working as a realtor for Keller Williams Downtown LLC based out of Colorado. The power couple also opened a Saloon Plaza in Southfield, Michigan, in 2019.

When did Chauncey Billups and Piper Riley get married?

According to various sources, Chauncey Billups and Piper Riley first met during their high school days at George Washington High School. The couple tied the knot back in 2001. For more than the last 20 years, Piper has been beside her husband, and together, the two of them have closely supported each other through thick and thin in their respective fields of expertise.

From his differences with Celtics coach Rick Pitino to Boston trading him just halfway through his rookie season, Chauncey was quite a handful in his younger days. Piper, however, did mention having their first kid together, and the initial period after birth changed his perspective toward everything. “He’d been humbled. You’re the third pick and they trade you? But then he comes home and he’s still The Man. Everyone is still loving you like before. He’s in his comfort zone again. It put a strain on our relationship. He’d be chilling out during the day, going to clubs at night, going on guy trips. I might see him a little bit during the day, but just a little bit…”
