Dirk Nowitzki and Jessica Olsson

In February 2010, Dirk Nowitzki, a renowned German basketball star and player for the Dallas Mavericks, crossed paths with Jessica Olsson at a charity event organized by Sports for Education and Economic Development (SEED). During their interaction, they discovered a strong connection, sharing intellectual interests and a mutual passion for sports. Two years later, the couple exchanged vows in a heartfelt African ceremony held in Dallas, Texas. Nowitzki openly expressed his adoration for the ceremony and his profound fascination with the rich traditions associated with marrying an African woman.
