Anthony Edwards (25, Minnesota Timberwolves), an elite guard who won gold with the U.S. national team at the 2024 Paris Olympics and plays in the NBA (National Basketball Association), has finally put an end to his glamorous single life and officially joined the ranks of married men.
According to local media outlets including TMZ and the New York Post, which reported on the 24th (Korean time), Edwards formally registered his marriage with his partner Shannon Jackson, whom he had been dating for six years, in Minnesota on the 16th, becoming a legal couple. The two already have a 2-year-old daughter named Aslin.
The reason this wedding attracted such attention lies in Edwards' extraordinary 'private life.' It is known that Edwards has fathered a total of four children, one with each of four different women, making him a player who drew immense public interest.
In particular, the birth dates of his children overlapped closely: eldest son Amir (born October 2023), daughter Aslin from Jackson, with whom he recently registered their marriage (born March 2024), and daughter Aubrey from former partner Aisha Howard (born 2024). This timing sparked explosive interest. In March 2024, he even made headlines by rushing out of the arena during halftime to witness the birth of his daughter Aslin.
Just as intense was the legal battle accompanying his flamboyant womanizing. Edwards, whose monthly income alone reaches $3.36 million (approximately 4.9 billion won), was revealed through court documents submitted during child support lawsuits with former partners that he is currently paying $5,000 (approximately 7.32 million won) per month in child support. In 2023, he also faced scandal and hardship after allegedly pressuring an Instagram model to have an abortion by handing her $100,000 (approximately 150 million won).
Edwards emerged as a star guard like a comet starting from the 2020-2021 season. He has already played six consecutive full seasons and has been selected to the All-Star Game four times. Notably, he received the MVP (Most Valuable Player) award at the 2026 All-Star Game held in February. In July 2024, he also represented the U.S. national team at the Paris Olympics held in Paris, France. At that time, the U.S. assembled a Dream Team lineup including captain LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and others.
Edwards, who rose to become one of the NBA's top stars after overcoming a painful family history of losing his mother and grandmother at an early age and being raised by his siblings, is now preparing for the new season alongside his new teammate Lamelo Ball (25), who recently moved to Minnesota. The two participated in joint training with Rudy Gobert (34) in France. With his complicated private life behind him, all eyes from basketball fans around the world are now focused on Edwards' next steps as a father heading into the upcoming season.
