Kate Abdo Marries Malik Scott in Intimate Birthday Ceremony

Kate Abdo, the acclaimed football presenter and devoted Manchester United fan, married former boxer Malik Scott in an intimate ceremony yesterday. The private event, which coincided with her birthday, was attended by close friends and family, reflecting the couple’s wish for a personal celebration of their union.

Abdo, well-known for her work with CBS Sports as the host of their Champions League coverage in the United States, has become a prominent figure in sports broadcasting. Her relationship with Scott, a former professional boxer and current trainer to heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, became public in early 2024 and quickly garnered attention from fans across both sports and media.

Scott, who retired from boxing with an impressive record, has since made his mark as a coach, significantly influencing Wilder’s career. His relationship with Abdo is characterized by mutual admiration and support, with Scott expressing his love and intentions for marriage earlier this year.

The wedding, held on Abdo‘s birthday, added an extra layer of personal significance, making it a day of dual celebration. While the ceremony details have remained private, social media buzzed with congratulations and well-wishes from fans and colleagues. The couple shared glimpses of their special day on Instagram, featuring Abdo in an elegant white dress and Scott in a stylish black suit, embodying elegance and happiness.

Their marriage has sparked a wave of reactions, especially among football fans and CBS Sports’ Champions League coverage viewers. Given their frequently joked-about on-screen chemistry, there was even playful sympathy for Thierry Henry, Abdo‘s co-host.

Scott‘s children from a previous relationship also participated in the ceremony, highlighting the blending of families in this new chapter for Abdo and Scott. This union marks a personal milestone for the couple and represents a unique merging of the sports broadcasting and boxing worlds.
