Shannon Hart has long been a central part of Josh Hart’s life, supporting the New York Knicks guard from their high school days to his rise in the NBA, marriage, and fatherhood. The couple first met in 10th grade and later built a relationship that Shannon has described as spanning nearly half their lives. In social media posts celebrating Josh’s birthday and career milestones, she has reflected on their shared journey through high school, college, his NBA draft, and adulthood, saying she would not change their path together.
Before their relationship became public as a love story, Josh’s early social media posts revealed a teenage crush marked by uncertainty and longing. Old tweets from 2011 resurfaced in June 2026, showing him asking whether Shannon would text him back and expressing that he missed her. The messages drew attention because they contrasted sharply with the pair’s later reunion and commitment.
Shannon is a registered nurse. She attended the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where she played women’s soccer, and later graduated from the University of Maryland School of Nursing. Josh publicly congratulated her on completing nursing school in 2019, praising her academic achievements and looking ahead to her professional future. She began working as a nurse in 2020 and has occasionally shared moments from that chapter of her life on social media.
The couple became engaged in December 2020, with Shannon announcing the news online and later saying she barely remembered the proposal because she was overwhelmed. Josh has said that although he felt composed at first, he became nervous during the walk to the proposal site and nearly revealed the surprise too early. The engagement marked a major turning point in their long relationship.
Shannon and Josh married on August 28, 2021, in an intimate ceremony at 1 Hotel South Beach in Miami, Florida. After the wedding, they honeymooned in Italy, Greece, and London, and Shannon later shared her excitement about spending her life with him. Their family grew again in 2023 when twin sons, Hendrix Aaron and Haze Dana, were born on May 12. Josh celebrated the twins on Instagram, writing that he and Shannon loved them more each day and were excited to watch them grow.
As Josh’s NBA career has taken him to the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Pelicans, Portland Trail Blazers, and Knicks, Shannon has remained a steady presence courtside. She has attended games throughout his career and has also brought their sons to watch their father play. In one post, she described their children’s first game as a special family milestone. By June 2026, Shannon spoke publicly about the couple’s relationship, saying they continue to support each other and make one another feel important. Days later, she was seen at the NBA Finals with their twins as Josh advanced to the championship stage.
