Grayson Allen and his wife, Morgan Reid, connected over their sports careers.
The Phoenix Suns shooting guard met his wife while attending Duke University, where they both played on the school’s championship-winning sports teams — Allen on the Duke Blue Devils basketball team and Reid on the soccer team.
While growing up in Cary, N.C., Reid spent her childhood rooting for the school, as she said in a 2014 Duke athletics interview. She also shared that her favorite sport to watch other than soccer was basketball. Coincidentally, just a few months later, she met breakout basketball star Allen — though the two didn’t begin dating until their senior year of college.
After their graduation in 2018, Allen was recruited to play in the NBA for the Utah Jazz (before he was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies, Milwaukee Bucks and then the Phoenix Suns) and Reid was recruited to the North Carolina Courage National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) team, before moving to the Orlando Pride. Reid said being long-distance was difficult at first.
“We started dating in college, and that’s simple because you’re at the same place. And you take it for granted how close you are to your significant other,” Reid said in a Phoenix Suns interview in February 2024, adding that they spent the off-seasons together in their respective cities. After a career-ending surgery for Reid in 2020, the couple were able to spend more time together. “There’s always silver linings,” she said.
Allen and Reid married in 2022 and welcomed their first child — daughter Emslie — in October 2024.
So, who is Grayson Allen’s wife? Here’s everything to know about former soccer star Morgan Reid and her relationship with the NBA player.
They met at Duke University

Allen and Reid met while attending Duke University in 2014. The two became friends during their freshman year, but didn’t start dating until a few years later.
“We were best friends since freshman year, and I had this feeling that you might have liked me,” Reid said to Allen in an interview with Whistle Sports in 2022, adding that their first kiss was in her apartment during their senior year.
At Duke, Reid studied evolutionary anthropology and anatomy while playing soccer, and Allen studied psychology while playing basketball, per Duke’s website.
Upon their graduation in 2018, Allen and Reid were both drafted into their respective sports professionally — Allen to the Utah Jazz and Reid to the North Carolina Courage NWSL team.

Similar to Allen’s basketball prowess, Reid is an impressive athlete in her own right.
After leading her region and district in high school soccer, Reid was recruited to Duke, according to a 2014 interview with the college athletics department. During her time at Duke, her success only continued — starting in a total of 18 games as a freshman, according to Sports Illustrated, and 26 games as a senior, per her Duke roster page.
When she graduated in 2018, she was drafted to the NWSL for the North Carolina Courage. After a year with the team, she was traded to the Orlando Pride, where she later missed the 2020 season as a result of an injury that snowballed into her eventual retirement.
In 2022, she shared a post on her blog about why she had to leave the NWSL after a serious labral tear that was eventually treated with surgery.
“I am filled with hope that my body will get close to feeling like itself again,” Reid wrote. “And that I will be able to do most of the things I love and that bring me joy, pain free.”
They got engaged in 2022

Allen and Reid got engaged in February 2022, and both shared photos of the beachside proposal on Instagram.
“My forever person ❤️🥰💍,” they both captioned their respective social media posts about the engagement, which included photos of Allen down on one knee and the couple kissing at sunset.
A few months later, they also shared snaps of a formal photoshoot on the beach — along with their dog, Teddy, a mini Bernese mountain dog that they adopted in 2019.

Less than six months after their engagement, Allen and Reid married on July 23, 2022.
The couple tied the knot at Nestldown, an event venue in Los Gatos, Calif., according to Instagram posts from the couple.
Allen and Reid held their ceremony outdoors — which included their dog, Teddy, as ring-bearer — amongst the property’s giant Redwood trees, followed by a reception in a barn-like event space.
They welcomed their daughter in October 2024

Allen and Reid welcomed their first child together — their daughter, Emslie May — on Oct. 26, 2024, per the Arizona Republic.
The two announced their pregnancy on social media in July, with an Instagram slideshow of them on vacation. “We can’t wait to meet you in a few months girlie,” Allen and Reid captioned the shared post.
In October, Allen missed a Phoenix Suns game against the Los Angeles Lakers to be present for his daughter’s birth, according to the Arizona Republic. “I was in go mode, counting down the time of getting there when I can be with [my wife],” he told the outlet.
Allen also shared about their joy over becoming parents. “We’re very happy and excited to have our first kid here,” Allen told the Arizona Republic. “It’s not much you can say to describe it, but I’m really happy.”
On Jan. 1, 2025, Allen and Reid shared the first photo of Emslie on Instagram.

William Shatner to undergo surgery following terrifying horse accident

He’s about to go where many men have gone before – the operating room.
William Shatner revealed that he shattered his right shoulder after falling off one of his horses late last year and must undergo surgery to repair the debilitating injury.
The “Star Trek” alum, who turns 95 later this month, opened up about the scary incident during the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films’ 53rd annual Saturn Awards in Burbank, Calif., on Sunday.
The original James T. Kirk explained his hospital drama and how he was scheduled to undergo surgery on March 11 after he accepted the Hall of Fame award on behalf of the “Star Trek” franchise.
After asking for a chair to speak with select media, Shatner shared that he was feeling “old, tired and kind of hurt.”
“I ride the horses that can compete in equine skills, which is fast down and ends on a sliding stop,” he explained. “And the horse that I owned, I came off.”
Shatner continued, “And she had a habit of going too far, like six inches to the side. And I’m riding it. And I’m ready. And she goes [too fast and sent him flying].”
Although the “Boston Legal” alum utilized his experience as a stuntman to lessen the impact, he still got seriously injured during the incident.
“I’m not a young stuntman anymore. I started to roll, but hit the dirt with my shoulder. So I wrecked my shoulder.”
Shatner said he was scheduled to undergo a “new type of shoulder operation called a reverse something or other” on Wednesday.
“You put the ball in the socket and the socket in the thing, and you come out 10 hours later, and you’re pain-free,” he said in an attempt to describe the surgery. “So that’s what I am meandering towards.”
This wouldn’t be the first time the Hollywood legend has suffered a health scare in recent months.
Back in September, it was reported that Shatner suffered a mysterious medical emergency at his Los Angeles home.
Although the “Practice” star didn’t explain what happened, TMZ reported that it was an issue regarding his blood sugar.
“I over indulged. I thank you all for caring but I’m perfectly fine,” Shatner tweeted alongside a meme about his “greatly exaggerated … demise” at the time.
Meanwhile, Shatner received a standing ovation from the star-studded audience at the Saturn Awards Sunday.
In his speech, Shatner detailed how the original “Star Trek” series succeeded because “good or great science fiction is about human beings.”
The “T.J. Hooker” actor also explained why making non-human characters display key human traits appeals to audiences.
“You know what everyone tried to do, including myself, was to make the character human with all frailties and ambitions and fears,” he told the audience.
“At the same time, in a leadership role, you can’t show that, or if you show it, it has to be done in a particular way,” Shatner continued. “So that you’re a leader trying to lead people into battle or into danger, and you have to motivate people in some way.”
Meanwhile, Shatner also shared that he still hasn’t watched all of the original “Star Trek” episodes he appeared in.
“I haven’t seen all my 79 episodes. I just don’t have the time,” he said. “I’d like to see it, but I don’t have the time.”
Elsewhere during the Saturn Awards, “Avatar” creator James Cameron noted how genres like sci-fi, fantasy and horror are often overlooked by awards ceremonies – including the Oscars.
“They dismiss us, and yet consistently, over time, of the top 20 movies in history, or the top 20 films of the past 10 years, they are our films,” the “Titanic” filmmaker charged. “Sci-fi, fantasy, horror. We make the films that put people in the theaters and keep the theaters open.”
Cameron, 71, won this year’s Saturn Awards for best science fiction film, best film direction and best film screenwriting for “Avatar: Fire and Ash.”
Tom Cruise, who was also at the ceremony, won the Saturn Award for best actor in a film for “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.”
Cruise, 63, celebrated Shatner’s contribution to the sci-fi genre in his acceptance speech.

‘Lost’ star Matthew Fox reveals why he walked away from Hollywood at height of his stardom

Matthew Fox was at the top of Hollywood — and then he walked away.
The “Lost” star, now 59, stepped back from acting for more than a decade despite starring in one of TV’s biggest hits, as Dr. Jack Shepard.
Fox, who is returning to the spotlight with a role in “Yellowstone” spinoff “The Madison”, opened up about his decision to take an acting hiatus while attending the New York premiere of his new show on Monday.
“I felt like it was time to engage really intensely with my family,” he told Variety.
Fox admitted his demanding schedule during the height of “Lost” meant he missed parts of his children’s younger years.
“I had missed some of their childhood because I was on set all the time with “Lost” and doing films and promoting everything,” he said. “It was the right moment for me to step back and take a moment and engage with the people that I love and care about the most in the world.”
After more than a decade away from regular TV work, Fox said he eventually began to miss the craft.
Fox returned to television in 2022 with the series “Last Light,” marking his first TV role since “Lost” ended in 2010. He later appeared in the comedy series “C*A*U*G*H*T” before landing his latest role.
“I kind of missed storytelling,” he explained, adding that he quickly said yes when producer Taylor Sheridan approached him about joining “The Madison.”
In “The Madison,” Fox plays Paul, a rugged bachelor who thrives outdoors.
The series centers on a New York City family who relocates to Montana’s Madison River Valley after a devastating plane crash kills two relatives. Michelle Pfeiffer stars as wealthy matriarch Stacy Clyburn, who uproots her family from Manhattan following the tragedy.
Though his career has long been tied to Hollywood, Fox has previously spoken about his desire to live somewhere quieter.
In 2008, the actor said he and his family had considered moving to Oregon, where his relatives lived and outdoor life was plentiful.
“I enjoy fishing, hiking and skiing,” Fox told People. “The mountains and fresh air and all these things are available pretty easily in Oregon without having to drive a long distance.”
Fox first rose to fame playing Charlie Salinger on the hit drama “Party of Five,” which ran from 1994 to 2000.
He later became a household name as Jack Shephard on “Lost,” the ABC sci-fi phenomenon that aired for six seasons from 2004 to 2010.
Along the way, he also appeared in films including “Smokin’ Aces,” “We Are Marshall,” “Vantage Point,” “Speed Racer,” “World War Z” and the 2015 Western “Bone Tomahawk.”
Fox largely stepped away from acting between 2014 and 2021. In a 2022 interview, he said that after “Bone Tomahawk,” he felt he had checked off many of the career goals he had set for himself.
“’I kind of had a bucket list in my mind of things that I wanted to accomplish in the business,” he told Variety. “I wanted to do a Western. It’s a very odd Western, but it’s a Western. And so that sort of completed the bucket list.”
At the same time, his two sons — Kyle, now 28, and Byron, 25 — were growing up.
“I felt like it was time to be home,” Fox said, adding that his wife of more than 30 years, Margherita Ronchi, had been “beautifully” holding down the fort while he worked.
“I really felt like I was retiring from the business, and working on other creative elements that are really personal to me – some music and writing.”
For now, though, the actor appears ready to step back into the public eye.

Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright finally reach custody agreement 2 years post-split

Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright have finally settled custody of their son, Cruz, nearly two years after separating.
The “Vanderpump Rules” stars reached an agreement Monday, according to documents obtained by Page Six.
Instead of paying each other child support, the Bravolebrities are responsible for the expenses accrued when the 4-year-old is in their individual care.
Taylor, 46, has custody of Cruz Wednesday nights and every other weekend. Cartwright, for her part, claims the rest of the time.
The agreement outlined an alternating holiday schedule for the pair, with Cartwright, 37, getting Christmas every year.
She previously told Page Six this holiday is a non-negotiable, explaining, “Cruz has got all of his cousins and family and so much love [in Kentucky]. … I don’t ever want him to miss that. And I don’t want to miss it either.”
While the former couple have agreed to share joint legal custody of their little one, Cartwright has tie-breaking authority over medical decisions.
The “Valley” stars, notably, have agreed to not be under the influence of alcohol, marijuana or any other form of illegal drug while caring for Cruz.
They may not introduce their child to new romantic partners for at least six months.
TMZ was first to report the news of the exes’ custody arrangement.
Taylor and Cartwright called it quits on their four-year marriage in January 2024 and have yet to finalize their divorce.
“Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health,” Cartwright told “When Reality Hits” podcast listeners at the time.
She filed for divorce in August 2024.
Although Taylor filed court documents the following month giving his ex full legal and physical custody of Cruz, his rep later told Page Six that the former Sur bartender had “made errors” that would be “amended without delay.”
The spokesperson added, “Jax and Brittany have already long resolved all matters related to custody of Cruz, and will continue to work together privately for the best interest of their son, which remains their overriding concern.”
Cartwright and Taylor’s love story began in 2015, with the latter popping the question three years later.
After the duo wed in Kentucky in June 2019, they welcomed Cruz in April 2021.
