Malika Andrews has experienced a rapid rise in popularity since her ESPN debut in 2018.

The 29-year-old is one of the most recognizable personalities in sports media, lending her expertise and charisma to ESPN’s NBA Today and NBA Countdown and earning praise for the professionalism she displays on set.

Such composure was evident just a few weeks ago when Andrews led her NBA Countdown colleagues through an earthquake. The clip went viral many times on X, the website formerly known as Twitter.

Andrews is a rising star at ESPN – and so is her longtime boyfriend and now husband Dave McMenamin, 41, another journalist who works for the global sports leader.

Andrews and McMenamin officially tied the knot on August 24. The couple married at Cavallo Point, a national park that leads to the base of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

The wedding was full of nods to Andrew and McMenamin’s paths to each other—see the Syracuse Spritz cocktails served as a not-so-subtle nod to McMenamin’s alma mater—and that’s without even mentioning the existence of a fully functioning basketball hoop at the reception.

Andrews and McMenamin met in 2017 after both were assigned to cover a Knicks-Cavaliers game at Madison Square Garden. Seven years later, they were married in what Hollywood couldn’t have come up with a better script than this one.

“It was such a joy to be surrounded by our family and friends,” Andrews said, according to Vogue. “And while I love reliving the evening by sharing stories with Dave and our guests and looking at photos… I’m so excited to settle into our marriage.”
