Anthony Edwards has quietly married Shannon Jackson in a secret ceremony, according to official court documents. The Minnesota Timberwolves star, 24, and Jackson officially wed on July 16 in Hennepin County, Minnesota, according to the Minnesota Official Marriage System.
Speculation about the pair’s relationship status grew after fans spotted Edwards wearing a black band on his ring finger during an appearance at Fanatics Fest in New York. The couple first went public in 2020, shortly after Edwards was selected first overall, and share a two-year-old daughter, Aislynn, born in March 2024.
The wedding followed a legal victory for Edwards in a child support dispute with ex-girlfriend Ayesha Howard over their one-year-old daughter, Aubri. A Georgia judge ruled in his favor, establishing Georgia as the proper jurisdiction and ordering him to pay $3,222 per month in child support, rejecting Howard’s attempts to litigate for a larger sum in California.
Court documents obtained by TMZ revealed Howard failed to appear for trial or present evidence to support her claims. Edwards had already voluntarily paid $110,000 in support since January 2025 prior to the ruling.
The four-time All-Star averaged 28.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game last season. Minnesota recently acquired LaMelo Ball from the Charlotte Hornets in a trade that sent Naz Reid and a collection of draft picks to Charlotte.
