Rooks has remained tight-lipped with her husband's identity. But a photo of the wedding menu showed his name as Shane.

Despite the secrecy, the wedding was far from low-key. Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Saquon Barkley and Donovan Mitchell were all spotted in attendance. Mitchell even brought his fiancée and rising R&B star Coco Jones. Jack Harlow, Lala Anthony and Joy Taylor rounded out the A-list guest list.

What's next for Odell Beckham Jr.?

Odell Beckham Jr. is planning his next step, whether on or off the field. The 32-year-old wide receiver is rehabbing and reflecting, no longer sprinting toward headlines but contemplating what “next” really means.

After a decade in the NFL, a Rookie of the Year award, three Pro Bowl nods and one unforgettable one-handed catch, OBJ is slowing his life down.

“This is the period of my life where I deserve to relax and have fun,” OBJ said in an interview with Haute's Laura Schreffler on Wednesday.

His focus currently revolves around fatherhood, fashion and building a life beyond football.

“My son is everything,” he said. “There’s nothing more in my life that means more than him. He’s changed everything in me — my everyday thoughts, my everyday everything.”

With retirement potentially looming, OBJ isn’t chasing stats anymore -- he’s chasing peace.

Nick Saban is his favorite all-time coach, while Baker Mayfield and Caitlin Clark are his favorite players. Prasen considers Vince Young coming up clutch for the Texas Longhorns in the dying seconds of the 2017 national championship game against the USC Trojans as the most iconic moment of all time.

Per Prasen, College Sports is competitive and garners attention but it is just the beginning, where a student-athlete can show their skills and potential to make it to the big leagues. When he is not researching and writing, Prasen’s hobbies include pursuing higher studies and playing sports.
