The two met in March 2020 through mutual friends. The professional athlete leaned on Jordyn after the passing of his mom.<\/p>\n

“It just so happened, the COVID came and kind of brought its challenges and it kind of forced us to either pick where our relationship was going to go as friends or something more,” Karl explained on Jordyn’s Instagram series Regular-ish in 2021. “And we chose the latter.”<\/p>\n

While the two have yet to set a date for their wedding, Jordyn is routinely seen cheering on her fianc\u00e9 from the sidelines.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Josh asked Shannon to marry him and detailed his proposal to Southern Bride<\/a>, explaining: “I knew what I was going to say when I got to the gazebo, but what I didn’t think of was that 15-20 second walk to get there. I almost slipped up saying, ‘Your mom and brother are coming here’ and I’m like, ‘I’m an idiot.'”<\/p>\n

The couple tied the knot in 2021 and welcomed twin boys two years later on May 12, 2023. The boys, HendrixAaron and HazeDana, are often at their dad’s games, joining him on the court after to celebrate wins.<\/p>\n
