After years of disappointment and despair, rays of hope and optimism are finally surrounding the New York Knicks organization. This season has been a thrilling ride for Knicks fans, with their team making it all the way to the Eastern Conference Semifinals. It’s a rare feat, something they’ve only accomplished once in the past decade. One of the primary reasons behind the Knicks resurgence is 29-year-old Josh Hart.

Josh Hart has become one of the most important players for the Knicks under the leadership of veteran HC, Tom Thibodeau. His suffocating 1v1 defense, coupled with impressive rebounding prowess, make him one of the mainstays of a resurgent Knicks team. However, despite being a star of the Big Apple, not a lot is known about Josh Hart’s personal life. Knicks fans have become even more inquisitive about the same, following Hart’s recent comments about his wife. During a post-match interview, Hart was asked what wears him out, to which he replied, “My wife arguing with me. That makes me extremely tired.”

In an interview with Southern Bride, Josh Hart also revealed that JJ Redick and his wife had a big role in his proposal story. He said, “Shannon and Chelsea (JJ Redick’s wife) were going back and forth–you know, doing the girl thing with jewelry–and Shannon looked at me jokingly but half-serious and said, ‘You should talk to Chelsea about rings when you want to do it.’ So a day or two later, I started texting Chelsea about rings and ended up FaceTiming her at the jeweler’s.”

The two tied the knot at an intimate ceremony on 26th August, 2021, in Miami. The couple welcomed twin boys, Haze Dana Hart and Hendrix Aaron Hart, to the world in May 2023.
