Johnny Knoxville says he’s the “luckiest fella in the universe” after marrying costume designer Emily Ting.

The actor and stunt performer announced the couple’s marriage on Instagram on Sunday, Nov. 16, sharing photos from the outdoor nuptials, which were officiated by his friend and A Dirty Shame costar John Waters. The bride and groom were also joined by their dog, Bucket, for the special occasion.

“It seems I have had a lot of news lately but there is no news bigger than this…..Today Emily and I got married and I’m the luckiest and happiest fella in the universe,” Knoxville, 54, wrote in the post’s caption.

“Bucket is pretty happy [too] as you can see from the pictures. It was a small ceremony with family, friends, and THE best minister ever. Thank you John Waters we love you so,” he continued.

Knoxville cheekily concluded his post: “Ok I’m getting off Instagram now because it’s our wedding night😉, but I wanted everyone to know. Love to everybody, wahoooo!!!👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻💒❤️❤️❤️.”

The Jackass star included two photos from the wedding, one of which captured the couple posing in front of a floral arch while Ting held Bucket’s leash as the dog posed on the ground. Knoxville sported a midnight blue velvet suit with a bowtie and white loafers, while his wife wore a lavender minidress with a glittery cream bodice and a yellow bow at the waist.

A second photo showed the newlyweds posing with Waters, 79, who wore a black suit jacket, black-and-white patterned pants and black slip-on sneakers.

According to a post on her Instagram, Ting worked on Knoxville’s 2022 Jackass Forever movie. Per her IMDb page, she also did costume design work for nearly 50 episodes of The Eric Andre Show, as well as for the 2021 film Bad Trip and 2024’s The Real Bros of Simi Valley: The Movie.

While it’s unclear exactly when she and Knoxville began dating, the Dukes of Hazzard actor has shared numerous photos with Ting on his Instagram. Back in March, he posted a heartfelt birthday tribute to Ting, writing, “Happy birthday to my best friend and baby from the luckiest man in the universe!! I love you much and I am eternally grateful to share this life with you.”

On Oct. 1, Knoxville shared a photo of the couple posing together in the audience at Dancing with the Stars, where they wore coordinating custom T-shirts (made by Ting) that said, “Dance Andy Dance” and “Go Andy!” in support of comedian Andy Richter, who competed alongside pro Emma Slater.

Ting has also shared lots of photos of herself and Knoxville on her own Instagram. On Valentine’s Day last year, she wrote to her now-husband in a sweet message: “You make me so stinkin’ happy. Xoxo 💋.”

Knoxville was previously married to Melanie Lynn Clapp, with whom he shares daughter Madison, 29, and to Naomi Nelson, with whom he welcomed sons Rocko, 15, and Arlo, 14.
