The Knicks’ Josh Hart Shares His Secret to a Strong Marriage

Josh Hart of the New York Knicks takes us beyond the court to his home. Mr. Hart and his wife, Shannon, open up about their relationship and love languages, and he shares with us a side of him you don’t see on game day.

: “We’ve known each other for about 15 years, basically half of our life. And we’ve always been that consistent person in each other’s life. We always were there for each other.” “It was like consistent communication.” “We push each other to be better. We both give each other tough love. It’s never what we want to hear. But it’s always what we need to hear. We never try to sugarcoat anything.” “My love language, I would say quality time and probably physical touch.” “Definitely physical touch. That’s her love language. Back scratches is her love language. For me, my love language, I probably would say words of affirmation.” “I’m not very lovey-dovey in my words of affirmation, but I think just through my support during the season and my tough love — He doesn’t see it as affirmation, but it is.” “Do I see it as affirmation? That’s a great question. You always appreciate someone for always being real with you. I’m the super laid back, calm one. When calmness is needed, it’s a hundred percent going to be me.” “Yeah, but sometimes he’s too calm. Which is also like, What’s wrong with you?” “On the court, it’s totally different. My role on the court is to be fiery, to play with my heart on my sleeve and show that passion and that competitiveness. But me as a person is super chill, super laid back, kind of just going with the flow. Whatever happens, I’m going to figure it out.” “I’ve got to win every argument, every conversation.” “She’s super competitive. Becoming parents probably changed our relationship, for sure, for the better.” “You always hear that kids can tear you guys apart or it’s so hard, this and that. But we’ve honestly gotten closer, so it’s helped us.”

Zendaya and Tom Holland are married … so claims her longtime stylist, Law Roach.

Here’s the deal … the celebrity stylist — who started styling Zendaya way back in 2011 — spoke to Access Hollywood on the Actors Awards red carpet where he sang out “The wedding has already happened, you missed it.”

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The AH reporter asks in shock if that’s true … and, Law responds by saying it’s “very true” before walking off.

This isn’t the first time Tom and Zendaya’s relationship status has made headlines on a red carpet … remember at the Golden Globes in 2025, Zendaya had a ring on that finger — and, the next day, we found out the two were engaged.

We’ve reached out to Tom and Zendaya’s teams … so far, no word back.

The rise of prediction markets means you can now bet on just about anything, right from your phone. Apps like Kalshi and Polymarket have grown exponentially in President Trump’s second term, as his administration has rolled back regulations designed to keep the industry in check. Billions of dollars have flooded in, and users are placing bets on everything from whether it will rain in Seattle today to whether the US will take over control of Greenland. Who’s winning big on these apps? And who is losing? NPR correspondent Bobby Allyn joins The Sunday Story to explain how these markets came to be and where they are going.

This episode was produced by Andrew Mambo. It was edited by Liana Simstrom and Brett Neely. Fact-checking by Barclay Walsh and Susie Cummings. It was engineered by Robert Rodriguez.
