Taylor Rooks, the charismatic NBA and NFL broadcaster known for her insightful interviews and impeccable style, surprised the sports world with a dazzling, star-studded wedding this past week. The stunning 33‑year‑old tied the knot in a private New York City ceremony alongside close friends and elite guests.

In her caption, Rooks simply wrote: “What a night. This is love,” accompanied by a curated carousel showcasing her breathtaking wedding dress, her mystery groom, and unforgettable moments with celebrity attendees. Rooks wore an elegant yet modern strapless satin gown that featured a sweetheart neckline, a cinched waist, and an A-line skirt. The handsome groom, identified only as “Shane,” appeared in a sharp, dark pinstriped suit with satin lapels and a bow tie. The gorgeous broadcaster wore her hair swooped back into a classy ‘do that framed her face. Her soft, glam makeup and sleek hair added an effortless elegance, bringing the right touch of pizazz to her beautiful look.

True to her ethos of keeping personal life private, Rooks did not tag or formally introduce her husband. Instead, his first name was discreetly revealed via the wedding menu, a subtle nod to his identity remaining a mystery. Unverified reports suggest that his full name may be Shane Fowler and that he works in the tech or media industry.

The celebration boasted a luminous guest list, including NBA stars Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Donovan Mitchell (with Coco Jones), the NFL’s Saquon Barkley, rapper Jack Harlow, Lala Anthony, Joy Taylor (as a bridesmaid), and Fanatics CEO, Michael Rubin.

Taylor Rooks’ Chic Wedding Style Is No Surprise

When it comes to fashion, Taylor Rooks has never missed, and her wedding day was no exception. Known for serving bold yet polished looks on red carpets and sports broadcasts alike, Rooks brought that same signature style to her big day, proving once again why she’s a style favorite both on and off the screen. From courtside fits to couture bridal wear, Rooks continues to define what it means to be both powerful and poised.

Rooks’ wedding marks not only a fashion extravaganza and a personal milestone, but it also coincides with a major professional evolution. After departing TNT and Bleacher Report, she will helm Amazon Prime Video’s NBA studio show this fall alongside legends Blake Griffin and Dirk Nowitzki.

Congratulations on both the wedding and the career pivot, Taylor girl!
