NFL Relationships: Meet the Wives and Girlfriends of Some of Your Favorites

Bill Russell and Marilyn Nault

Bill Russell, an iconic figure in basketball history, met Marilyn Nault later in life after Russell’s substantial career with the Boston Celtics and multiple NBA championships had made him a legend. Marilyn, distinct from Russell’s towering public persona, maintained a more private existence. Their union, though marked by the contrasts of their public profiles, was a blend of love and companionship.

They did not have any children together. Their relationship was a testament to finding love at different stages in life, with Bill’s sports legacy complementing Marilyn’s quieter, yet equally significant presence. This partnership, until Marilyn’s untimely passing in 2009, was a harmonious blend of public acclaim and private devotion.
