Jessica Olsson And Dirk Nowitzki Photo Confirm Wedding

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Jessica Olsson and Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki may prove their union took place with what could be a wedding photo. It was previously believed that the basketball star and his girlfriend did not wed in a traditional African ceremony in Kenya nearly two weeks ago.

According to popular gossip site MediaTakeout,

“According to a ROCK SOLID SOURCE Dirk and Jessica (whose mother is from Kenya) decided that they wanted to have TWO wedding ceremonies. One for HER MOMS family in Africa . . . and a second in Germany, where Dirk’s family could attend.”

Another source even described the wedding,

“It was beautiful, Dirk delivered the dowry in cattle wearing traditional garb.”

Dalls Mavericks, however, is refusing to confirm its star player is now a married man.

It wouldn’t be far fetched for the German Nowitzki and his girlfriend born of a Swedish father and Kenyan mother to have two weddings. Earlier this year the basketball player couldn’t stop gushing over his girlfriend,

“Jessica is probably the best thing that happened to me this year. After the incidents in 2009, I never thought that I was so quickly on what can engage new. She is a great woman, smart and intelligent. Now let’s see just how that develops over time with us. It feels great in any case; we wait for what will come of it,” Nowitzki said of his new wife in an interview with ballerswives.com last year.

So was there a wedding? Aside from the photo another clue is Nowitzki’s twitter timeline. The tweets are consistent with only a day or two gap but there are no tweets between July 4th and July 16th – looks like plenty of time for a wedding – or a relaxing vacation with your fiance – LOL

Either way, congrats!

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
