Kate Abdo married her partner Malik Scott on Sunday afternoon in what appeared to be a small and intimate wedding.
The couple posted a series of photos from their wedding day on Instagram, thanking God in the captions for the “gift of marriage.”
Abdo wore an elegant, off-the-shoulder white gown with a fitted bodice for the ceremony. Scott wore a black patterned suit with no shirt underneath.
The bride and groom opted for an intimate celebration and the wedding had to radiate an intimate and romantic atmosphere.
Malik’s children were present at the ceremony. After the wedding, the happy couple posed for photos with the trainer’s son and daughter.
Fans took to social media to express their condolences to Thierry Henry, over the ongoing joke that he is in love with the presenter.
One social media user wrote: ‘Keep Uncle Titi in your prayers during these difficult times. Kate Abdo just got married.’
Another wrote: ‘Kate Abdo is married. Someone needs to keep an eye on Thierry Henry.’ While another user said: ‘Kate Abdo is married… my GOAT deserves better anyway.’
The joke about Henry having a crush on Abdo stems from their on-screen chemistry and playful interactions on the show “CBS Sports,” where they are both prominent figures.
Abdo is a sports presenter and Thierry Henry is a former footballer and pundit. Their banter and apparent mutual respect often led to playful speculation among fans and viewers that Henry had a soft spot for Abdo.
Meanwhile, Abdo and Scott have gained public attention for their relationship, particularly due to their respective high-profile careers in sports media and boxing.
Abdo, a veteran sports journalist, is best known for her work at CBS Sports, while Scott made his reputation as a professional boxer and trainer for heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder.

Abdo has had a varied and successful career in sports reporting and is known for his on-screen rapport with Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards and Henry.
Born in Manchester, England, Abdo initially worked with networks such as Sky Sports and Fox Sports before making her mark in the United States. She is widely recognized for her work as a presenter on CBS Sports’ coverage of the UEFA Champions League.
Abdo’s career took off when she became a regular presenter on Sky Sports, focusing on European football and other major sporting events. But it was her fluency in Spanish, German and French that made her stand out.
The 43-year-old presenter has worked for international platforms and reported on events such as the Ballon d’Or, where she interviewed top athletes in several languages.
Meanwhile, Abdo’s husband, Scott, has a rich history in professional boxing. Born in Philadelphia, Scott was a heavyweight fighter who had a remarkable, if sometimes under-the-radar, career in the ring.
Scott, known for his technical skills, has a professional record of 38 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw in a career that spans two decades. Although he never won a world title, he fought some high-profile opponents, including Dereck Chisora and Luis Ortiz.
What has improved Scott’s standing in the boxing world in recent years is his role as a trainer, most notably becoming head coach of Deontay Wilder, considered one of the most powerful punchers in heavyweight history.
Scott took over Wilder’s training duties ahead of his 2021 trilogy fight against Tyson Fury after Wilder split from longtime trainer Mark Breland. Though Wilder ultimately lost the fight, Scott was praised for his tactical approach and the improvements Wilder showed in the ring, particularly with his footwork and defense.
Scott previously stated that he was not insecure about Abdo’s friendship with Henry

Scott and Wilder’s partnership has continued, with Scott mentoring Wilder in his comeback fights. However, Wilder’s career is still at a crossroads after two consecutive defeats.
Abdo and Scott’s relationship has sparked curiosity, given their different but overlapping worlds. While Abdo’s role in sports media is rooted in soccer, she has also covered boxing events, which may have been how the two first crossed paths.
