Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards is officially a married man.
According to Minnesota marriage records, the four-time NBA All-Star tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Shannon Jackson, on July 16, marking a new chapter in the couple’s relationship after several years together. The couple has been publicly linked since 2020 and shares a 2-year-old daughter, Aislynn.
News of the wedding surfaced after fans noticed Edwards wearing a black wedding band during a recent appearance at Fanatics Fest in New York City, fueling speculation that the NBA star had quietly gotten married. Marriage records later confirmed the ceremony.
Edwards, 24, has become one of the NBA’s brightest young stars since being selected No. 1 overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2020 NBA Draft. The explosive guard has established himself as one of the league’s elite players, earning multiple All-Star selections while leading Minnesota into championship contention.
The wedding comes after a challenging year for Edwards off the court. In recent months, he was involved in a highly publicized legal dispute with ex-girlfriend Ayesha Howard regarding child support and custody of their daughter. Earlier this month, Edwards reportedly secured a favorable outcome in that court battle.
Despite the public scrutiny surrounding his personal life, Shannon Jackson remained by Edwards’ side throughout the legal proceedings. Their relationship has endured the ups and downs that accompanied Edwards’ rapid rise to NBA superstardom.
Now, the longtime couple has made their commitment official, celebrating their marriage as they continue raising their daughter together.
Congratulations have begun pouring in from fans across social media, with many wishing the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness as Edwards prepares for another NBA season with the Timberwolves.
