Meet Cristina Fernandez Rice, estranged wife of former NBA star Glen Rice. The two met at a party in Miami thrown by his teammate Matt Geiger. “I told the guys she was going to be my girlfriend,” Rice says. But he wasn’t nearly as bold around Fernandez. He was so shy that he had to send teammate Kevin Gamble over to ask, on his behalf, if Fernandez would like to dance. She agreed to dance, but she didn’t want anything else to do with Rice, who was separated from his wife and on his way to a divorce. But after several three- and four-hour phone conversations, Fernandez agreed to go out with him. On the day they were to have their first date, Rice scored a career-high 56 points against the Orlando Magic. “I had to do something to impress her,” he says.
Cristina and Glen married on September 5th, 1997. They have two kids together,Brianna and Giancarlo. Also, Glen has two kids, Glen Jr. and G’mitri, from his ex-wife Tracey Starwood.
Cristina, a high school special-education teacher, manages their clothing store in Miami, Florida.
On January 11, 2008, Glen was arrested in Miami, Florida on suspicion of felony battery. Police say Glen assaulted a man that he found hiding in his estranged wife cristina’s closet. It was alleged that Rice went to the home of Cristina and beat Alberto Perez after finding him in the closet. After the beating, Perez had a cut on his forehead that required nine stitches. Rice surrendered to police and was released after posting $5,000 bond. Charges were later dropped.
Glen Rice played 15 years in the NBA. He was selected #4 overall in the 1989 NBA Draft by the Miami Heat. Glen has played for several teams including: Miami Heat (1989–1995), Charlotte Hornets (1995–1998), Los Angeles Lakers (1999–2000), New York Knicks (2000–2001), Houston Rockets (2001–2003), Los Angeles Clippers (2003–2004).

OMG Cristina is so fake, not like a real cuban that I know. Glad Glenn did what he did to Perez I would have done that too if it was me. LOL, She tries to much to be on camra not natural. Get rid of her.
Just saw Cristina on Housewives. Very immature woman with no class and no education. Her house might be nice but pure Cuban trash!
