Lakers owner Jeanie Buss has married actor/comedian Jay Mohr in Malibu
Jeanie Buss, the controlling owner and president of the Lakers, just got hitched.
Jeanie Buss, the controlling owner and president of the Los Angeles Lakers, isn’t just the woman at the helm of the world’s most famous and storied basketball franchise — she’s also a high-profile one.
The Lakers have had a reputation of being a glitz-and-glamor Hollywood team — whether one wants to argue it’s accurate or not — which has allowed Buss to enter into some famous relationships.
Years ago, she dated Phil Jackson back when he was coaching the team for most of the decade of the 2000s. At one point, the two were reportedly engaged, but they broke off their relationship.
About a year ago, Buss acknowledged she had hooked up with comedian Jay Mohr, and in December 2022, the two became engaged. On Sunday, they married.

Reportedly, their wedding ceremony was small and intimate.
Via TMZ Sports:
“Sources with direct knowledge tell us the Lakers owner got hitched to comedian Jay Mohr Sunday during a small, intimate ceremony in Malibu — where about 20 close friends and family members in attendance … and the bride and groom looking happy as can be.”
Mohr, 53, has had a number of roles in film and television, including on “The Jeff Foxworthy Show,” “Saturday Night Live,” “Jerry Maguire” and “Last Comic Standing.” He was previously married to actress Nikki Cox.
The Lakers owner and the comedian have been dating for years.
Did you know that comedian Jay Mohr — known for so many things, from standup comedy to hosting Lip Service to Saturday Night Live and Jerry Maguire — and Los Angeles Lakers owner and president Jeanie Buss have been dating for a while?
I did not. But apparently, I’ve been living under a rock for a while, because Los Angeles Magazine reported there was talk of the two of them dating since 2017 after Buss and ex-Lakers coach Phil Jackson ended their long relationship.
I’ve also not followed them on Instagram, because they’ve posted some adorable photos and videos. Let’s run through them:
