Knicks Star Karl-Anthony Towns Weds Jordyn Woods in Star-Studded Malibu Ceremony
New York Knicks player Karl-Anthony Towns married model and entrepreneur Jordyn Woods on August 15th in a black-tie ceremony in Malibu, California. The couple, who have been dating for six years since meeting through mutual friends, exchanged vows in an outdoor setting overlooking the Pacific Ocean with approximately 150 guests. The wedding featured A-list attendees including Kylie Jenner, Timothée Chalamet, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Ben Stiller, and Michael B. Jordan, as well as several of Towns' Knicks teammates including Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and OG Anunoby. Towns, 30, proposed to the 28-year-old Woods on Christmas Eve 2025 at a rooftop bar in Manhattan. The timing comes just months after the Knicks' historic NBA championship victory—the team's first title in 53 years—where Woods became a courtside fixture known for her game-day fashion. Woods wore a white strapless gown with lace embroidery, while Towns wore a classic black tuxedo.
