Blake Griffin is officially off the market. The former NBA star’s rep confirmed to People on Monday, October 19, that he married Francesca Aiello, the founder of Frankies Bikinis. The biggest hint came a day earlier at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, where Griffin was seen wearing a gold wedding band, and it turned up at other events earlier in the week too.
The couple was first linked back in 2018, and Griffin popped the question around the holidays in late 2024, an engagement Us confirmed in January 2025. Since retiring from the NBA in April 2024 after 14 seasons, Griffin, 37, has stayed busy with his talk show The Stepback With Blake Griffin, not to mention life as a dad to Ford and Finley.
There’s something fun about a wedding that quietly plays out in public, a ring here, a runway appearance there, before anyone says a word. So the sports-and-fashion power couple is officially official. Are you Team Spill-The-Details or Team Keep-It-Private when it comes to celebrity weddings?
