Popular National Basketball Association (NBA) journalist and TNT broadcaster Taylor Rooks surprised fans on July 23, 2025, by sharing beautiful photos from her wedding day. The intimate ceremony was held privately with no prior public hints about her relationship status. Rooks looked radiant in a strapless wedding gown featuring a sweetheart neckline and a dramatic layered skirt, while her groom, known only as Shane, appeared sharp in a classic pinstriped dark suit with satin lapels. Her simple yet heartfelt Instagram caption read, “What a night. This is love.”
A Surprise Wedding Announcement
The wedding brought together a star-studded guest list, including NBA and NFL stars such as Kevin Durant, Donovan Mitchell and his fiancée Coco Jones, Saquon Barkley, Draymond Green, and rapper Jack Harlow. Despite the high-profile attendance, the event remained extremely private, with no media invited. Taylor shared intimate moments with family and friends and even posted a photo of the evening’s menu, where the name “Shane” appeared. However, she has not officially revealed her husband’s full identity. Online speculation suggests his name may be Shane Fowler and that he works in tech or media, but Taylor has neither confirmed nor denied these reports.
