Alejandra Nash

It’s not enough for a starting five, but would certainly be fine for a three-on-three tournament.

Two-time National Basketball Association MVP Steve Nash of Victoria, point guard for the Phoenix Suns, added a son to his family yesterday.



Nash’s wife, Alejandra, gave birth to Matteo Joel Nash, weighing seven pounds and seven ounces. After the birth, the St. Michaels University School grad Nash played in the Suns’ home game against the Sacramento Kings.

Steve and Alejandra Nash also have five-year-old twin daughters, Bella and Lola.

The family is trans-national with all three children born in the United States. Nash, the former Canadian Olympic team hoops captain, was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and raised in Victoria, while Alejandra is from Paraguay. The Nashes reside in Phoenix during the season and New York during the off-season.
