Anthony Edwards is starting\u00a0the NBA season as a husband.<\/p>\n

During the Fanatics Fest last week, the Minnesota Timberwolves star sported a black band on his ring finger, which at first was assumed to be a fashion choice. Now, legal documents\u00a0confirm that Edwards and his longtime girlfriend, Shannon Jackson, are now married.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0Minnesota Official Marriage System’s website, per Minnesota Sports Fan<\/a>, there is a certificate listed for Edwards and Jackson. The couple got married on July 16, 2026, in Hennepin County, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

According to Yahoo Sports<\/a>, he reportedly shares daughter Aris, born in 2023, with\u00a0Daja Carlyle and son Amir, also born the same year, with Alexandria Desroches.<\/p>\n

Edwards will be entering\u00a0his seventh season with the Timberwolves, and not only will this season be different because he is now married, but he will be playing alongside LaMelo Ball.
