Days after ESPN layoff, Ashley Brewer marries NBA reserve whoâs âuglyâ but has âmoneyâ
Looks like they saved up for the wedding, because neither has a job.
ESPN “SportsCenter” anchor Ashley Brewer, who was laid off a week ago, and NBA center Frank Kaminsky, who is a free agent looking for a team, celebrated their wedding with a ceremony in Los Cabos, Mexico, on Friday, according to social media reports.
As Brewer said on TikTok: “When ESPN lays you off the week before your wedding.”
Though the pair were legally married in April at a Los Angeles courthouse, according to the Wisconsin State-Journal, they celebrated their nuptials again for a larger gathering of friends and family — just days after Brewer was among the roughly 20 on-air talents cut by the sports network.
“She is amazing and the best person I’ve ever met,” Kaminsky told the newspaper, “so I feel like lucky that she wanted to marry me.”
He once promoted a podcast by saying, “Listen to this week’s episode to hear what it’s like trying to figure out life when you’re ugly but you have some money.”
The couple met in 2017, and after their careers took them to different spots in the country with Kaminsky playing professionally and Brewer working in sports media, Kaminsky proposed to Brewer in Maui last summer, according to the State-Journal.

Brewer, who swam collegiately at Texas and USC, was let go at ESPN after three years at the network.
Kaminsky, a former Naismith College Player of the Year, played four seasons for the Hornets before joining the Suns for three years and then splitting time between the Hawks and Rockets in 2022-23. In 36 games last season, he averaged 2.5 points and 1.4 rebounds while playing less than seven minutes per game.
