Doris Burke is one of the acclaimed American sports analysts and announcers. She is the sports analyst for NBA on ESPN, NBA on ABC, and college basketball on ABC and ESPN games. In the past, Burke served as a commentator for WNBA games on MSG and worked on New York Knicks games.
The first female reporter to call a New York Knicks game on screen and radio, Doris Burke, is a mother to two talented kids. Here, meet one of Doris Burke’s children, Matthew Burke, and indulge yourself in some of his unknown facts.
Doris Burke’s Second Child
The former college basketball player, Doris Burke, was once in a marital relationship with Gregg Burke. Doris married the head golf coach at the University of Rhode Island, Gregg Burke, in 1989. However, the former lovebirds could not continue their marriage for long and eventually divorced, citing irreconcilable differences.
While Doris and her ex-husband were together, they welcomed their son, Matthew Burke, some time in 1994. According to various sources, after the Burke couple’s separation, Matthew lived with his father, Gregg.
Besides Matthew, Doris Burke has another child, a daughter named Sarah Burke, born in 1992. The older sister of Matthew is currently serving as the Judicial Law Clerk to the Honorable Gary S. Glazer since September 2018.
Furthermore, the details regarding Doris Burke’s son, Matthew’s early childhood days, and his educational endeavors are not available. We hope Matthew will be quite open to media shortly so that his well-wishers can know him a bit better.
A Golf-player
Matthew Burke’s parents are famous sports personalities in the United States. Aforementioned, Matthew’s mom, Doris, is an active sports commentator and a television personality. Moreover, she was also a college basketball player in the past. Similarly, his father, Gregg, was a Deputy Director of Athletics at the University of Rhode Island from September 2004 to September 2014. Currently, he is the head golf coach at the same University.
As Matthew’s father and mother are both sportspeople, the sports genes flow in Matthew’s bloodstream too. Matthew grew up seeing his dad, Gregg playing and coaching golf. He inherited the same skill from his father, and now he is a polished golf player.
Matthew used to play golf since his childhood. Being the son of the head golf coach, it became easier for Matthew to learn the techniques of golf. Currently, Matthew has established himself as a professional golf player.
His Mother’s Playful Relationship With Rapper Drake
Back in 2016, news concerning Doris and Drake‘s playful relationship swirled in the media headlines. Wondering what was going on, Doris Burke’s son, Matthew, asked her about it, and in reply, Doris said that she had absolutely no idea.
It all began in 2016’s Eastern Conference Finals when the rapper made a heart sign at Doris during a timeout. Then, later in another season’s night game, he wore a tee with Doris’ face on it and asked her out for dinner.
Moreover, Matthew’s mother responded to Drake’s proposal for dinner via her Twitter playfully, saying ‘dinner is on’ with a heart emoji. Later, when Doris’ colleagues asked whether the dinner date ever happened, she said it did not. However, Burke thanked for adding extra fun to her life.
Doris and her diehard fan, Drake, met at a Raptors game of the same year’s April. The rapper went to Doris’ booth and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Life Away From The Limelight
Doris Burke’s son, Matthew, is a very secretive person. He does not appear much in the spotlight with his celebrity mom and dad. Moreover, Matthew’s parents rarely speak about him in public. It seems like Doris Burke and her estranged husband, Gregg, want their son to live a normal life away from the press’s prying eyes.
Moreover, Matthew does not have any of the social networking handles registered on his name. He probably does not want unnecessary attention from the media being linked with his parents’ popularity. As for now, Matthew is living a healthy life far from the media reach.
