Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns tie the knot in star-studded Malibu wedding

The longtime couple wed six years into their relationship, surrounded by famous friends, family and Towns’ Knicks teammates.
Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns closed out a remarkable year the only way left available to them: at the altar.
The entrepreneur and the New York Knicks star wed Saturday, Aug. 15, in a black-tie ceremony at an outdoor Malibu venue overlooking the Pacific, according to photos reported by E! News and other outlets. The wedding arrived roughly eight months after their December engagement and six years into their relationship.
The guest list reflected the couple’s reach across entertainment and sports. Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet attended, as did Justin and Hailey Bieber, Michael B. Jordan, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor, and “Love Island USA” alums Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen.
Towns’ teammates turned out in force just months removed from the franchise’s championship run, with Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and OG Anunoby among those in attendance.
Woods, 28, wore a white strapless corseted gown with a full lace-embellished skirt and a lace-trimmed scarf, finishing the look with a sleek bun and a long chiffon veil. Towns opted for a classic black tuxedo. Photographs captured the two sharing a kiss at the altar, including one moment where he dipped his bride.
The relationship’s foundation predates the romance by years. The two were close friends well before dating in 2020, a dynamic Woods reflected on during her Instagram series in 2021, describing the appeal of building with someone who already knew her on good days and bad.
Towns has pointed to the pandemic as the turning point that forced a decision. The circumstances, he said, pushed them to determine whether the relationship would stay platonic or become something more, and they chose the latter.
For Woods, whose public life has been heavily scrutinized since her teens, the wedding marked a moment defined entirely on her own terms, surrounded by people who showed up for her rather than commentary about her.
