Wiggins met his wife Angela when they were in junior high school, and they both graduated from John Muir High School. The "Los Angeles Times" reported that Wiggins had experienced marital strife, but that he would not entertain the thought of divorce; he wanted to ensure that his children did not grow up in a single-parent household as he had. Two of Wiggins' three children became professional basketball players. Candice, an All-American at Stanford University, joined the Minnesota Lynx as the third overall pick in the 2008 WNBA draft. She has served as a spokesperson for the Greater Than AIDS campaign. Alan Jr. played at the University of San Francisco and professionally in several countries. His oldest daughter, Cassandra, played college basketball at New York University.
