Overview
- A representative told People that retired NBA star Blake Griffin and swimwear designer Francesca Aiello are married, though the couple has not released information about the wedding itself.
- Photographs and appearances showed Griffin wearing a gold wedding band at recent promotional events and on the red carpet, which preceded the formal confirmation.
- Griffin and Aiello first dated in 2018, split in 2020, rekindled their relationship in 2023, and reports say Griffin proposed around the 2024 holidays with Aiello briefly showing an engagement ring online in early 2025.
- Reports linked a September gathering in Porto Ercole, Italy to pre-wedding celebrations with attendees reported to include Kendall Jenner, but organizers and the couple did not confirm the event’s purpose.
- The announcement coincides with Griffin’s move into media as host of The Stepback, a weekly late‑night sports comedy show, which has intensified public attention on his private life and parenting of two children.
