They dated for the next two years until they got engaged, and they got married in 2012. When Jessica accompanied Nowitzki at the red carpet event, the world caught a glimpse of Jessica in public for the first time. Nowitzki begged her for a kiss after accepting the award, and she made the headlines again.
Dirk Nowitzki is a very popular sports figure in Dallas and one of the most popular players on the Dallas Mavericks. Soon after the two began dating, most locals in Dallas knew about Jessica and her relationship with the German basketball star. She also often appeared in Dallas Mavericks games to support her husband.
The two tied the knot on July 20, 2012. They got married at the Nowitzki home in Preston Hollow, Texas. Before the ceremony, the two also participated in a traditional Kenyan wedding. Dirk was asked to find a wife among five masked women to show his love. He successfully found Jessica among the masked women. The couple then went to the Caribbean for their honeymoon.

During the NBA offseason, you can see a family traveling around the world.
