Abdo, best known for her work at CBS Sports as the host of the 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 of heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, became public in early 2024 and quickly attracted the attention of fans in both the media and the sports world.

Scott, who retired from boxing with an impressive record, has made his mark as a trainer, having a significant impact on Wilder’s career. His relationship with Abdo has been characterised by mutual admiration and support, with Scott expressing his love and intention to marry earlier this year.

The wedding, held on Abdo’s birthday, added a layer of personal significance, making it a double anniversary. While details of the ceremony remain under wraps, social media was abuzz with congratulations and well wishes from fans and colleagues. The couple shared snaps of their special day on Instagram, with Abdo in an elegant white gown and Scott in a stylish black suit, oozing elegance and happiness.

Their marriage caused a stir, especially among soccer fans and viewers of CBS Sports’ Champions League coverage. With their on-screen chemistry often joked about, there was even a playful nod to Abdo’s co-host, Thierry Henry.

Scott’s children from a previous relationship were also in attendance at the ceremony, highlighting the merging of families in this new chapter for Abdo and Scott. The union marks a personal milestone for the couple and represents a unique fusion of the worlds of sports broadcasting and boxing.
