Shannon Hart is the MVP in Josh Hart’s life.
The couple first met in high school before walking down the aisle in 2021. The New York Knicks shooting guard and nurse then welcomed twin boys, Hendrix Aaron and Haze Dana, in 2023.
Prior to scoring their fairytale ending, Josh was a little worried he might have fumbled the ball.
Ahead of Game 4 of the Knicks vs. Spurs NBA Finals on June 10, old tweets from 2011 resurfaced on X, with the athlete pining for his other half.
“Want her to text me,” the first message from June 2011 read.
“I miss her…. wish she would text me,” Josh wrote in July of that year, before ending with a tweet that said, “What’s wrong with her…?”
But just nine years later, it was a slam dunk for Josh when Shannon said yes to his 2020 proposal.

However, nerves almost got the best of him leading up to the big moment.
“I knew what I was going to say when I got to the gazebo, but what I didn’t think of was that 15-20 second walk to get there. I almost slipped up saying, ‘Your mom and brother are coming here’ and I’m like, ‘I’m an idiot,’ ” Josh recounted.
He became “really nervous” and “grabbed the ring” and “started rambling” while walking to the gazebo.
