The NBA player aпd Hallυm exchaпged “I do” at a resort iп Newport Coast, Califorпia, iп froпt of 300 gυests.
Maisa Hallυm aпd Marcυs Smart, his fiaпcee, are пow wed.

The coυple explaiпs to PEOPLE that Newport Coast is a special place to them, which is why they decided to exchaпge “I do” there. “The groυпds are breathtakiпg aпd the views of the oceaп are υпmatched, all aroυпd perfectioп,” Hallυm asserts. A black-aпd-white color scheme pervaded the eveпt over the coυrse of the weekeпd, with gold aпd пeυtral acceпts added to each elemeпt. “A big thiпg for υs is sυrroυпdiпg oυrselves with frieпds aпd family aпd eпjoyiпg oυr time with them,” Hallυm asserts. “We kпew oпe day wasп’t goiпg to be eпoυgh to live iп the momeпt aпd see everyoпe, so we exteпded it to a three day extravagaпza aпd it allowed υs to be preseпt aпd trυly share the love with all who atteпded.” Before the coυple’s weddiпg, which Erica Estrada Desigп Smart orchestrated, Smart expressed his eagerпess for the momeпtoυs occasioп: “I am ecstatic to be wed to the love of my life aпd to speпd the eпtire weekeпd iп celebratioп with oυr cherished family aпd frieпds.”
The coυple served a plated diппer coпsistiпg of ahi tυпa crυdo, gпocchi cacio e pepe, filet migпoп with potatoes aпd asparagυs, lobster risotto, aпd herb roasted chickeп throυghoυt the celebratioп.

Aside from the live performaпces, atteпdees coυld also take advaпtage of aп oil paiпtiпg statioп, a photo stυdio, aпd aп ice lυge. “We also had belly daпcers celebratiпg my Middle Easterп cυltυre,” Hallυm coпtiпυes.
Oп Sυпday, iп appreciatioп of their visitors, the пewlyweds threw a farewell pool party to coпclυde the weekeпd. Smart aппoυпces that they will coпtiпυe the festivities with a hoпeymooп iп Bora Bora sυbseqυeпt to the weekeпd celebratioпs, prior to his arrival at traiпiпg camp for the forthcomiпg NBA seasoп. “I admire his compassioп, perseveraпce, aпd siпcerity.

Notiпg that “becomiпg hυsbaпd aпd wife meaпs becomiпg oпe,” Smart says of his wife, “I caп coпverse with her aboυt aпy sυbject.”
The NBA player aпd Hallυm were photographed together at a pυblic eveпt iп 2017, where they were first liпked. Siпce theп, they have maiпtaiпed a relatively low profile regardiпg their relatioпship. Oп the coпtrary, Smart deemed aп exceptioп to his proposal. He υploaded a video oп December 25, 2022, of himself proposiпg with some assistaпce from Will Smith. The Iпstagram video featυred the NBA icoп performiпg a message that had beeп pre-recorded by Smith.
Smith stated, “I jυst wапted to take a momeпt to wish yoυ aп exceptioпally joyoυs Christmas.” “I am aware that yoυ might пot have obtaiпed the items yoυ desired. I assυre yoυ that yoυ will пot depart from this Christmas seasoп withoυt aпy valυables. “That is the eпtirety of my message… my Aпtarctica message.” At the coпclυsioп of the video, Smart kпelt behiпd Hallυm, who accepted his propositioп. He also iпclυded a photo of himself aпd Hallυm doппiпg coordiпatiпg pajamas while his fiaпcee displayed her eпgagemeпt riпg by raisiпg her haпd iп the same post.
He joked oп Iпstagram, “(Whew!)” prior to expressiпg gratitυde to Smith for the assistaпce. “Maпy thaпks for the setυp assistaпce, @willsmith!” Smart explaiпed iп aп iпterview with NBC Bostoп that was pυblished oп X (previoυsly Twitter) why he selected Smith to assist him with his proposal.

Some were surprised that Time magazine made Taylor Swift their person of the year for 2023. A pop star? Are you serious?
Last year’s choice for this prestigious accolade was Ukraine‘s Volodymyr Zelensky, honoured as a wartime leader because ‘courage is contagious’.
The year before it was Elon Musk for ‘reshaping life on Earth’ while other past recipients include John F Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jnr, Winston Churchill, Queen Elizabeth II and Nelson Mandela.
An entertainer has never been so honoured – but there has never been an entertainer quite like Taylor Swift.
Not even Madonna in her pomp nor Michael Jackson at his peak come close to the heights Swift has scaled in 2023; her crystal-studded Louboutin boots climbing ever steadily up the ladder, rung after golden rung, to a stratosphere previously unknown in the pop galaxy.
The most concert tickets sold, the highest-grossing concert tour of all time, the top artist on Spotify, huge sales of multiple albums and even the hit film of her Eras concert tour, which she produced herself, already nominated for a Golden Globe.

Not even Madonna in her pomp nor Michael Jackson at his peak come close to the heights Swift has scaled in 2023
Radio stations play her music, universities teach courses about her lyrics, stadiums could sell her tour tickets three times over, cinemas are screening her films and her fans, known as Swifties, love her with a passion undimmed.
This year has been the year of living Taylorly, a time when it seemed that someone somewhere was always listening to her songs or talking about her music or beading a bracelet in her honour.
‘Taylor Swift I love you, thank you for being everything we ever needed! Ever,’ tweeted actress Julia Roberts in the spring.
‘She’s huge,’ said singer Billy Joel. ‘You have to give her high marks. She knows music and she knows how to write.’
Even Rishi Sunak is a closet Swiftie, attending both a fitness class themed around her music and one of her concerts while on a Californian holiday in August.
Once you know all this, you appreciate her reach and power, and think: how could Taylor Swift not be Time’s Person of the Year?
And that is only half of the story.
Taylor turned 34 last week, celebrating her birthday alongside her new cultural dominance as the biggest pop star on the planet. How did she get here?

From a country performer who got her first recording contract when only 14 to becoming an award-winning crossover pop artist who has sold 114 million albums worldwide, it is her skill as a songwriter that is her most championed gift.
Taylor is the queen of heartbreak, the mighty empath who sings about her break-ups and setbacks – or sometimes about the sheer joy of living – in a way that deeply connects with her fanbase.
Her navigation of girlhood in early songs such as Love Story and You Belong With Me transitioned into more sophisticated and thoughtful recent tracks such as Champagne Problems or even The Last Great American Dynasty, lyrical story-telling which finds Swift at her most Joni Mitchell-esque.
However, it is not only the vagaries of her key romantic relationships with men such as Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal and actor Joe Alwyn that spark such deep emotional reactions from listeners.
For here is a woman who has suffered public humiliation and personal travails in her route to the top, but somehow triumphed over it all.
‘I’ve been given a tiara, then had it taken away,’ is how she puts it.
Yet her resilience and her ambition have coalesced into this perfect flame amid a firestorm of pure, molten success. ‘It feels like the breakthrough moment of my career,’ she told Time magazine. ‘And for the first time in my life, I was mentally tough enough to take what comes with that.’
The bedrock of all this is her Eras tour, a celebration of her ten studio albums and her life’s work to date that has become the most lucrative concert-run in American history.
Starting in March, the North American leg of the tour found Swift and her band perform 53 sell-out shows in 20 different cities, before moving on to South America last month.
Not only did Swift outshine other major artists and break attendance records in several US stadiums, she created an impact that was not just artistic and emotional, but financial.
Swift told the magazine of the intense training she undertook to prepare for her Eras tour, which is set to be the biggest of all time
The American segment of the Eras tour was so massive that conservative estimates suggest it gave a £3.6 billion bump to the American economy – with some claiming Swift had single-handedly stopped the US from falling into recession.
The jolt of money for sold-out stadiums was one thing but it was the spending power of the Swifties that helped to water the parched, post-pandemic US economy – locally and nationally – with a trickle-down flow of cash. Fans spent big on travel, hotels, shopping, merchandise and meals out when attending her concerts.
Fortune magazine’s financial analysts called the singer’s economic effect the ‘TSwift Lift’, while the Wall Street Journal prefers ‘Taylornomics’ in honour of the Swifties’ superior spending habits.
In a run of six shows in Los Angeles, for example, Swift played to half a million people bringing in an estimated £250 million boost to the GDP of the city.
After a winter break, her tour resumes in February in Asia before reaching Europe in the summer.
In the UK she will play sold-out dates in Edinburgh, Liverpool and Cardiff, alongside eight nights at Wembley stadium.
By the time the tour ends, after another run through North America next autumn, the Washington Post estimates Swift’s personal earnings will be £3.2 billion. No one has done that before. Like ever.
It is to her credit that she spreads her good fortune around. Swift donates generously to food banks and charities in each city she plays in.
At the end of the US tour, she gave bonuses totalling £43million to the dancers and crew who helped her put on the shows, including £75,000 to each of the 50 truck drivers who hauled her massive stage set from coast to coast.
That’s the other thing about Taylor Swift. In a world of decadence and excess, she remains a moral force for good, an inspiration to all the young women and girls who form the majority of her fanbase.
Who else but Taylor could write about the advice her grandmother once passed on. ‘Never be so kind you forget to be clever, never be so clever you forget to be kind,’ she sings in a song called Marjorie, named after her granny. Her granny! You won’t catch most mega stars going down that particular domestic route any time soon.
Who else but Taylor could pinpoint so precisely the delicate lattice of unconscious gaslighting that thoughtless boys imprint on hopeful girls when good love goes bad.
‘You call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest,’ she sings in All Too Well, the ten-minute takedown of former beau Jake Gyllenhaal that has become a fan favourite.
Am I gushing? I can’t help it. I don’t just love Taylor Swift’s music, I admire her as a woman who has triumphed over some torrid times and forged her own path in a male-dominated industry.
Her friend and contemporary Ed Sheeran doesn’t even brush his hair and only pops on another pair of dungarees to go on tour or appear on television.
As a woman, Taylor has to keep reinventing herself, glossing her image, perfecting her look, always polishing that red lip, classic thing that you like – and smiling through the tears.
Who could forget the ghastly Kanye West saga in 2009, when the rapper insulted Swift onstage at a televised awards ceremony. Later, he wrote a song with vulgar lyrics about her and claimed Swift had consented to it, which she denied.
West’s then wife, Kim Kardashian, released a tape of a conversation between West and Swift which had been edited to suggest that Swift had agreed to the song – a pathetic lie that became a worldwide degradation and forced Swift into hiding for a year.
‘It took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before,’ she told Time.
Comfort came from an unlikely source: Sir Paul McCartney. He sent Swift a handwritten note with one of his lyrics – take those broken wings and learn to fly – which she had framed and hangs in the bathroom of her Manhattan apartment.
And while West’s star has faded, hers continues to shine like a diamond. ‘Trash takes itself out every time,’ is how she puts it.
The pop megastar, whose massive tour earned her billionaire status this year, beat Vladimir Putin , Barbie and Sam Altman for the honor
Swift spoke of her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce for the first time publicly in an interview for the magazine’s cover story. She is pictured with her cat Benjamin Button
She is also in the mammoth process of re-recording her first six albums and wrestling back her own artistic power after the rights to her back catalogue were bought by Scooter Braun, a music industry executive she loathes.
She is someone who sticks by her principles and this resonates with women, young and old.
‘She came back from all that negativity and that inspires us,’ a fan told me when I went to one of Swift’s concerts in Los Angeles earlier this year.
It was an incredible night. Yes, the tickets are expensive but Swift gives value for money, just like you’d expect her to. She is onstage, without a break, for three hours – a unique feat in the she-dome of pop.
Beyonce takes long breaks from the stage during her shows, Adele has a troubled relationship with the physical and emotional toil of touring while, during her current tour, Madonna has been known to appear nearly three hours late and make long rambling speeches onstage. You get none of that nonsense with Taylor Swift.
Under the spotlight in her spangled bodysuit and glitter boots, a superstar dressed as a super heroine, she is an unstoppable force of nature in a spectacle that shimmers with an intensity of emotion.
It doesn’t just feel exuberant because of the delight of her music or years of lockdown isolation, it feels like watching history being made – because that is exactly what is happening.
Taylor Swift celebrated her 34th birthday on Wednesday after a life-changing year.
The past 12 months has been rollercoaster ride for the songstress, who kicked off with her record-breaking tour in March.
And while her career continues to sky-rocket with the singer achieving billionaire status and becoming the most streamed artist in the world for 2023, Taylor has also had her fair share of heartache.
Earlier this year, the singer split from her long-term partner Joe Alwyn and had a short-lived fling with The 1975 bandmember Matty Healy.
Her fan Ana Clara Benevides, 23, died during the singer’s concert in Brazil in November.
But as Taylor finds love with America footballer Travis Kelce, 34, we take a look at the highs and lows of her whirlwind year…
March – Eras Tour
Taylor Swift celebrated her 34th birthday on Wednesday after a life-changing year
In March, Taylor kicked off her Eras Tour – which was a mammoth 151 shows across five continents.
The tour celebrates all ten of her albums and is the highest-grossing tour of all time and the first tour to surpass $1 billion in revenue.
April – Split from Joe Alwyn
In April it was reported Taylor split from Joe Alwyn, 32, after six years of dating (Joe and Taylor pictured in 2019)
In April it was reported Taylor split from Joe Alwyn, 32, after six years of dating.
‘The relationship had just run its course. It’s why [Alwyn] hasn’t been spotted at any shows,’ an insider said at the time.
Fans believe one of the first signs Taylor and Joe had gone their separate ways was when she switched out one song for another during a concert.
After news of the pair’s split broke on April 9, fans took to Twitter to point out that Swift played performed song ‘The 1’ for the first time ever on March 31.
Fans speculated her performance of the song – in which a narrator laments about breaking up with a possible soulmate – was Swift’s way of hinting she had split from Alwyn. The song replaced ‘Invisible String’ on the setlist – a song about soulmates being drawn together by fate.
May – The 1975’s Matty Healy fling
Taylor and The 1975 rocker Matty Healy, 34, shocked the world when their romance was revealed in April
Taylor and The 1975 rocker Matty Healy, 34, shocked the world when their romance was revealed later in April.
They had first connected – and been at the center of romance rumours – back in 2014.
Matty had been seen publicly supporting the singer on her The Eras Tour, shooting the star loving glances as he attended her Nashville concerts.
The pair were also seen in NYC numerous times, leaving a recording studio and heading for dinner with her pals, Margaret Qualley, Phoebe Bridgers and Zoe Kravitz.
But Taylor and Matty split after two months of dating.
The singer and Matty were last seen together on May 25 in New York City. The split also came three days after Matty was seen kissing a male security guard at a Denmark concert.
A source told People at the time: ‘She had fun with him, but it was always casual. They are no longer romantically involved.’
July – Swift released Speak now
Taylor released the re-recording of her third studio album Speak Now
Taylor released the re-recording of her third studio album Speak Now.
The multi-Grammy Award-winner said it felt nostalgic to revisit the songs she wrote while on the cusp of womanhood and how ‘proud’ she is to share tracks that didn’t make the original album.
‘It’s here. It’s yours, it’s mine, it’s ours. It’s an album I wrote alone about the whims, fantasies, heartaches, dramas and tragedies I lived out as a young woman between 18 and 20,’ Taylor wrote on Instagram.
September – Travis Kelce romance
Taylor sent the NFL ablaze when she became the headliner at the Chiefs’ win over the Chicago Bears to cheer on Travis, 34, on September 24
In the months since kickstarting her romance with the two-time Super Bowl champion, Swift has attended five of her NFL beau’s games
Taylor sent the NFL ablaze when she became the headliner at the Chiefs’ win over the Chicago Bears to cheer on Travis, 34, on September 24.
In the months since kickstarting her romance with the two-time Super Bowl champion, Swift has attended five of her NFL beau’s games, watching him lose for the first time in her presence on Sunday in frigid Green Bay.
But the 12-time Grammy Award winner has revealed that they only brought their relationship into the footballing – and global – spotlight after a while of dating behind closed doors.
‘This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was mental as hell,’ she told TIME magazine.
But the 12-time Grammy Award winner has revealed that they only brought their relationship into the footballing – and global – spotlight after a while of dating behind closed doors
We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.
‘By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.’
October – Eras tour opened in theatres, 1989 released and billionaire status
In October, Taylor released the film The Eras Tour which was filmed during her six-night run at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles back in August
In October, Taylor released the film The Eras Tour which was filmed during her six-night run at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles back in August.
The movie – which has grossed an estimated $250 million worldwide – may earn the singer her first ever Golden Globe after she was nominated for Cinematic and Box-Office Achievement.
The Eras Tour will compete against Barbie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, John Wick: Chapter 4, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1, Oppenheimer, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Taylor also re-released her 2014 album 1989.
She added five new tracks to the album, which originally featured 13 songs on the standard version and 16 songs on the deluxe edition.
Hits on 1989 included Shake It Off and Blank Space among others.
To top off October, Taylor officially reached billionaire status.

Ava fainted while at the show and is believed to have had a cardiac arrest.
Shortly after the show was over, Swift wrote of her shock at what had happened on Instagram.
‘I can’t believe I’m writing these words, but it is with her shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show. I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by by this,’ Swift wrote.
‘There’s very little information I have other than the fact that she was so incredibly beautiful and far two young,’ she continued.
‘I’m not going to be able to speak about this from the stage because I feel overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it. I want to say now I feel this loss deeply, and my broken heart goes out to her family and friends. This is the last thing I ever thought would happen when we decided to bring the show to Brazil.’
