Johnny Knoxville, the daredevil known for pushing boundaries, recently found a different kind of thrill: marriage. He and costume designer Emily Ting exchanged vows in a surprisingly intimate ceremony, a moment made even more unique by the man who officiated it.
The wedding wasn’t presided over by a traditional cleric, but by the delightfully subversive filmmaker John Waters, famed for his cult classic *Hairspray*. This choice wasn’t random; Knoxville and Waters share a creative history, having collaborated on the provocatively titled film, *A Dirty Shame*.
Knoxville, 54, shared the joyous news with a heartfelt post, accompanied by photos from the outdoor celebration. He declared himself “the luckiest and happiest fella in the universe,” and noted even their dog, Bucket, seemed to share in the excitement.
Images from the event reveal a simple yet charming setting, adorned with flowers. One photo captures Ting holding Bucket’s leash, while another showcases the beaming couple alongside a smiling John Waters, a testament to their shared connection.
“It was a small ceremony with family, friends, and THE best minister ever,” Knoxville wrote, expressing his gratitude to Waters. He then playfully announced his departure from social media to enjoy his wedding night, extending his love to all.
This marks Knoxville’s third trip down the aisle. His first marriage, to Melanie Lynn Clapp in 1995, ended in divorce in 2009, and they share a daughter, Madison, now 29.
A second marriage to Naomi Nelson in 2010 produced two sons, Rocko and Arlo, but ultimately concluded with a divorce filing in 2022. Through it all, Knoxville has continued to entertain audiences with his fearless antics.
Knoxville and Ting’s relationship blossomed through their professional collaborations, working together on projects like *Jackass Forever* and *Jackass 4.5*. Ting’s creative talents extend beyond *Jackass*, with credits including *I Think You Should Leave* and *Comedy Bang Bang*.
