New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns and model-entrepreneur Jordyn Woods were married Saturday in a black-tie ceremony overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, California, capping off a whirlwind 2026 for the couple. Guests included Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, OG Anunoby, Miles McBride, and Jose Alvarado from Towns’ championship Knicks roster, alongside Kylie Jenner, Timothée Chalamet, Justin and Hailey Bieber, and other A-list friends.
Towns proposed on Christmas Eve 2025 at Overstory in New York City after five years together, and the couple had plenty to celebrate walking into the wedding: the Knicks’ first NBA title since 1973, clinched over the San Antonio Spurs in five games this past spring, with a title parade through the city that followed.
The “Married in 5” Detail
Guests reportedly received black hoodies reading “Married in 5” — a direct nod to the Knicks closing out the Finals in five games. It’s a small, clever touch that fits the broader story of the past year: Woods was a fixture at courtside throughout the championship run, and her orange handbag from her own fashion label became an unofficial good-luck charm among Knicks fans.
From Tabloid Fodder to Power Couple
It’s worth noting how differently Woods is discussed today compared to a few years ago, when her name was largely defined by a single, heavily covered 2019 falling-out with the Kardashian-Jenner family. Watching Jenner among the guests at her wedding is a reminder of how quickly public narratives shift once someone builds a visible, independent success of their own — in this case, a fashion label and a very public role in one of the biggest sports stories of the year.
What do you think? Does a championship run and a high-profile wedding like this one change how the public perceives a celebrity relationship, or does the coverage say more about our culture’s fixation on athlete branding? Let us know your thoughts in the comments on BeezLoop.com!
