Who did Wayne Gretzky marry in 1988?

Wayne Gretzky married actress Janet Jones in 1988. The couple married on July 16, 1988, at St. Joseph's Basilica in Edmonton, Alberta, in a ceremony that Canadian media nicknamed the “Royal Wedding.” Their relationship began after Gretzky met Jones while he was appearing as a judge on the television program Dance Fever.

Gretzky and Jones became a couple in 1987 after reconnecting at a Los Angeles Lakers game. Gretzky proposed in January 1988, and they married later that year. Jones was already known as an actress and performer, with appearances in films and television productions including A Chorus Line and Staying Alive.

They have five children: Paulina, Ty, Trevor, Tristan, and Emma. Their family has remained prominent in sports and entertainment; Paulina Gretzky became a model and singer, while she later married professional golfer Dustin Johnson. Elvira, Brooke Shields, and Pamela Anderson were among the incorrect options, not Gretzky's spouse.
