Anthony Davis is gearing up for another championship run, but he’s also doing big things in his personal life. 

The Lakers superstar tied the knot with his longtime partner, Marlen P, and it was a high-powered celebrity gathering as people from across the entertainment spectrum came out to celebrate the event.

The who’s who of guests included Davis’ Lakers teammates LeBron James and Russell Westbrook, University of Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari and multiple Grammy award-winning singer Adele, just to name a few.

Davis, an NBA champion and the former first overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft, wore a traditional black tuxedo with a white button-down shirt during the ceremony, and his wife wore a tight, low-cut white wedding gown.

According to reports, Davis decided to change his outfit before the reception and returned from the “locker room” wearing a black dinner suit with a similar black button-down and gray slacks.

Kentucky coach John Calipari was like a father figure to Davis when the two combined forces to win the NCAA Championship in 2012. Calipari is never one to miss a photo op and nothing changed at AD’s wedding.

Davis, 27, embarking on a new episode in life. He’s finally settling down after nine years in the league and he’s very focused on returning to the top of the championship totem pole after falling short last year due to key injuries to his Lakers team.

The highlight of the evening had to be the groom singing Johnny Gill’s “My, My, My” to his bride. Who knew The Brow could hold a tune?

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
