Anthony Edwards gets married ahead of seventh season with Timberwolves

Summary by The Minneapolis Editorial Desk · Based on reporting from Star Tribune · July 23, 2026 · 1 min read

Minnesota marriage records show the Wolves star wed Shannon Jackson, his longtime partner and the mother of their daughter, Aislynn, earlier this month.

Why this matters in The Minneapolis

The marriage of Anthony Edwards to his longtime partner Shannon Jackson is a notable development for Timberwolves fans, who have watched the young star grow both on and off the court. As Edwards prepares for his seventh season with the team, his personal life is also becoming more settled. With a family to root for him, Edwards' commitment to the Minneapolis community may deepen, potentially leading to increased involvement in local charitable initiatives or youth basketball programs. The fact that Edwards has chosen to build a life in Minneapolis, rather than relocating to another city, speaks to the appeal of the Twin Cities area for professional athletes. As the new season approaches, fans will be watching to see how Edwards' personal milestones translate to his performance on the court, and how his growing family influences his role as a leader in the community.
