Johnny Knoxville gets married to longtime girlfriend in intimate ceremony: ‘Luckiest and happiest fella in the universe’

“Jackass” star Johnny Knoxville tied the knot to his longtime girlfriend and costume designer Emily Ting over the weekend in an intimate ceremony with close family and friends.

“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,” the 54-year-old MTV icon announced on Instagram Sunday.

Knoxville sported a denim-blue velvet tuxedo while his bride wore a baby-blue minidress for their big day.

The “Fear Factor” host also gave a special shoutout to the minister for their big day — filmmaker and actor, John Waters.

“It was a small ceremony with family, friends, and THE best minister ever. Thank you John Waters we love you so,” he added.

“Ok I’m getting off Instagram now because it’s our wedding night😉, but I wanted everyone to know. Love to everybody, wahoooo!!!”

The announcement garnered some exciting reactions from fellow stars and fans of Knoxville’s — most seemingly stunned by the news that the two got hitched.

“Oh whaaaat?! Congrats!!!!! ❤️❤️” Guitarist and songwriter Billy Strings commented.

“Congratulations!!❤️❤️❤️,” actor Benjamin Pajak commented.

“What a sight to brighten my feed! Congrats 🤩,” one fan wrote.

“Congrats!!!! dream wedding minister wow,” wrote another.

Ting is a Los Angeles-based costume designer who worked on Knoxville’s 2022 film “Jackass Forever,” as photos posted on her Instagram revealed.

While it’s unclear when Ting and Knoxville first started their romantic relationship, the couple made their first public appearance together that same year.

The “Jackass” co-creator has three kids — daughter Madison, 28, whom he had with his first wife, Melanie Lynn Clapp, whom he divorced in 2007, and sons Rocko, 14, and Arlo, 12, with his second wife, Naomi Nelson.

Knoxville finalized his divorce from Nelson in 2022 after 13 years of marriage.

Aside from the decades of success as the face of the “Jackass” franchise, Knoxville has appeared in movies like “The Dukes of Hazzard,” “The Ringer,” and “Men in Black II.”

Ting — born in Taipei, Taiwan, and later immigrating to Los Angeles with her family — is an NYU graduate and award-winning writer, director, and producer, according to her IMDb page.

She won the Best Short Film award at the 2013 Omaha Film Festival for “The Distance Between,” and later earned Outstanding Achievement in Filmmaking at the Seattle International Film Festival for her 2019 dramedy “Go Back to China.”
