But while the photos gave a glimpse into the celebration, one detail remained a mystery: who exactly is her new husband?
Though Rooks has kept things very discreet, her husband’s name, Shane, appears on the evening’s wedding menu, shared in one of the Instagram snapshots. That’s led some internet sleuths to speculate his full name might be Shane Fowler, but Rooks hasn’t confirmed.
Notably, Rooks' guest list included Donovan Mitchell and fiancée Coco Jones, Saquon Barkley, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and even Jack Harlow.
Notably, she bid emotional farewell to Turner Sports last week, where she has been a household name and developed her career while reporting NBA games and various other delightful sports.
“Just look at all the fun we had. The questions. The viral clips. The moments that meant something. I loved looking back at all the conversations we created. The best times of my career,” Rooks expressed, looking back at the seven years spent at TNT Sports and Bleacher Report.
What's next for Taylor Rooks?
Rooks is now all set to join Amazon’s NBA coverage this fall. With Prime Video officially stepping in as a league partner, she will take on hosting duties for Amazon’s flagship NBA studio show.
Though Rooks is no stranger to the Amazon team, over the past few seasons, she’s been hosting Thursday Night Football, delivering exclusive interviews with players and reporting from the sidelines.
