Johnny Knoxville has taken a significant step in his personal life, getting married to his longtime partner Emily Ting. The MTV star, best known for his role in “Jackass,” shared the joyful news with fans through a heartfelt Instagram post on November 16. The post featured a picture of the couple shining with happiness; Knoxville, 54, wore a stylish blue velvet suit and bow tie, while Ting graced the occasion in a light blue baby doll dress adorned with a vibrant butter-yellow bow.
The intimate ceremony, surrounded by family, friends, and their beloved dog Bucket, was beautifully set against a floral arch. Knoxville’s close friend, director and actor John Waters, officiated the wedding, capturing another precious moment with a photograph alongside the couple.
In his celebratory message, Knoxville expressed his pride and joy: “It seems I have had a lot of news lately but there is no news bigger than this… Today Emily and I got married and I’m the luckiest and happiest fella in the universe.” He added that Bucket was just as thrilled, further illustrating the joyous atmosphere of their special day.
Knoxville humorously noted that the ceremony was small but meaningful: “It was a small ceremony with family, friends, and THE best minister ever. Thank you John Waters; we love you so.” He ended his post with love and excitement for their new journey together.
This marks Knoxville’s third marriage. He was first married to Melanie Lynn Cates from 1995 until their separation in 2006 and subsequent divorce in 2009, with whom he shares a daughter. He later married Naomi Nelson in 2010, and they welcomed two children during their marriage, which lasted over a decade before concluding in 2024.
Emily Ting, a talented costume designer, has collaborated with Knoxville on various projects, including “Jackass Forever” and “Jackass 4.5.” Her impressive portfolio also features work on “The Eric Andrew Show” and “I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.”
This new chapter in Knoxville’s life is met with optimism and joy, reflecting the enduring nature of love and partnership, even amidst the challenges of life.
