According to PEOPLE.com:
NFL star Christian Watson is married!
The Green Bay Packers wide receiver, 24, tied the knot with longtime love Lakyn Adkins in a destination wedding at the private Stone Mountain Estates in Malibu, California, on Friday. They were joined by 85 guests including singer Jordin Sparks and Watson’s teammates Jordan Love, De’Vondre Campbell, Aaron Jones, Bo Melton, Josiah Deguara, Samori Toure and Romeo Doubs.
The athlete tells PEOPLE the couple was keen to marry in Malibu and when they visited their venue for the first time, they knew it was “a perfect fit” for their event.
“It was exactly what we were looking for,” he notes of the scenic 40-acre property, nestled near the summit of the Malibu coastal range.
Adkins, 25, says their goal for the two-day event — a welcome party at Cambria Calabasas kicked things off on the eve of their wedding — was to throw “a great celebration with fun entertainment.”
“The experience was most important. Ensuring that the guest have the best time with great company around,” Watson agrees.
They planned their nuptials with the help of wedding planner Tori Perano of Passera Events. “Since I was busy with football, I let Lakyn take the lead with Tori. I gave her items that I really wanted to see happen for our wedding and she carried that out,” Watson explains.
Christian Watson Will Be Heading Into The 2024 Season With Added Motivation
Watson has been dealing with lingering hamstring injuries for the entirety of his short career. It has caused him to start only 11 games in 2022 and nine in 2023.
This off-season he has taken extreme measures in order to try to get healthy. According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk:
Coach Matt LaFleur explained this week that Watson visited a lab in Madison, with the goal of solving the issue.
“They’ve got some special lab there or whatever that all the medical guys can give you the better diagnosis on [Watson],” LaFleur said, via Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. “But yeah, we’ve looked at a lot of different things in terms of just his body comp and maybe areas that were stronger than others to try to help get us in front of that.”
If Watson can get healthy and stay healthy, he can be a game changer for the Packers’ offense.
