For Trey Jemison, the last year has packed in a lot more than basketball.
The New York Knicks big man helped deliver the franchise its first NBA championship in more than five decades, then marked another major milestone in his personal life with a wedding celebration in Franklin, Tennessee. On Friday, Aug. 21, Jemison and his wife, sports broadcaster Alex Jean Glover, hosted about 100 friends and family members at Southall Meadows for a Western-themed party, according to People.
The surprise was that they were already married.
Jemison and Glover secretly eloped in Antigua on Aug. 3, 2025, one day after they got engaged. More than a year later, they finally brought their loved ones together to share the news in person.
“We knew that we wanted everyone to be in one place to break the news and then party the night away after,” Jemison told People.
Instead of a second ceremony, they revealed the marriage with a video during the reception.
The timing of the celebration made the planning a little tricky. Glover handled much of the early work while Jemison was in the middle of New York’s title run, and the Knicks capped that historic season by beating the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals. That win ended a championship drought that had lasted since 1973.
Once the season was over, the couple could focus fully on the party.
Glover said she met with wedding planner Susanna of Lumi Accents during the postseason, and after New York’s championship parade, they settled on the look for the event. The palette centered on green, brown and cream, and Glover said a mechanical bull was a must.
They committed to the theme all the way through. Jemison wore a bespoke Custom Men suit with cowboy boots, while Glover wore a lace gown from Vow'd Nashville before changing into a custom robe and sparkly minidress. Instead of a traditional cake, the celebration featured mini cakes and an ice cream cart.
Their relationship moved fast from the start. Jemison first noticed Glover in the summer of 2024 after seeing one of her sports broadcasting videos on social media. They started dating that December and kept things going long distance while balancing their careers.
Then came August 2025. Jemison proposed on Aug. 2, and the next day the couple eloped in Antigua.
They kept that marriage private for more than a year before sharing it with friends and family at the Tennessee celebration.
“Distance never stood in the way,” Jemison told People. “Instead, it strengthened our commitment as we’ve made equal sacrifices, prioritized one another, and chosen to show up every time, no matter where life or work takes us.”
Now the secret is out, the celebration is done, and Jemison has added one more unforgettable moment to a year already full of them.
“We just want to enjoy life and live in God’s will,” Glover said.

Knicks Built The Easts New Blueprint Before Winning Anything
The Knicks reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2025 and still came up short of ending the franchises long championship drought, falling to the Pacers after a spring that had already made them one of the leagues most talked-about teams. Their run included a win over the Celtics in the previous round, a series shaped in part by Jayson Tatums injury, but it also reflected something bigger than one playoff bracket: a roster built around size, switchability and wings who could survive the modern East.
New Yorks front office spent years leaning into that template by adding versatile pieces such as Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby, and the league has taken notice. The Knicks may not have won the conference, but the approach has already started to spread, with teams like the Cavaliers looking at similar roster construction as the path to better matchup options against Boston and the Easts top tier.

Jalen Brunson Debate Just Got More Frustrating For Knicks Fans
The latest round of player-ranking chatter has put Jalen Brunson right back in the middle of the kind of debate Knicks fans know all too well. In a social media video, NBA analyst Michelle Beadle worked through a list of stars and made some choices that will feel familiar to anyone who has watched the league try to sort out where Brunson belongs among the games best guards and wings.
Beadle had Brunson above Luka Doncic, Anthony Edwards, Donovan Mitchell and Devin Booker, which is enough to keep the argument lively on its own. But she also slid other names ahead of him in a way that will irritate New York supporters, especially after Brunson just finished leading the Knicks to an NBA championship and backing it up with elite production in both the regular season and postseason.

Knicks Keep A Bench Piece They Could Not Afford To Lose
Landry Shamet gave the Knicks exactly the kind of bench help contenders spend all year trying to find, and now the club has decided it could not afford to let that lane disappear. The veteran guard supplied reliable shooting, helped stretch the floor and gave New York another offensive option behind the starters, all while fitting neatly into a rotation that increasingly values spacing and calm shot-making.
His regular season fit was strong enough to make the decision easy, with 9.3 points per game and 39.2% shooting from deep underscoring why the front office wanted him back. For a Knicks team built around depth and versatility, keeping a proven catch-and-shoot presence matters, especially when the margins tighten and every stable bench piece starts to look more important than the box score suggests.
