WNBA star Maya Moore has just married Jonathan Irons the man she spent years fighting to free from a unjust conviction.

The story of Minnesota Lynx star Maya Moore and Jonathan Irons, who had been in jail since he was 16 and served 23 years for a murder he did not commit, already had a happy ending.

Moore took a two-year sabbatical from the WNBA to help Irons overturn his conviction, which culminated in July with his release from prison.
