Model Kenya Kinski-Jones and actor Will Peltz exchanged vows on June 13 at the Peltz family estate in Mount Kisco, New York—the same spot where Will proposed last year. The couple, together since 2011, celebrated with a multi-day event that blended heartfelt tributes and an unexpected basketball twist.
Kenya walked down the aisle to “You Put a Move On My Heart,” a song by her late father, music legend Quincy Jones, who passed away in November 2024. She carried a bouquet wrapped in one of his ties, with a piece of his handwriting embroidered into her custom Brandon Maxwell gown.
Will’s father, Nelson Peltz, served as best man, while his mother, Claudia Heffner Peltz, was Kenya’s matron of honor. Nicola Peltz, Will’s sister, celebrated the union in an Instagram comment, writing, “Thank you for giving me my sister”.
The reception featured a unique twist: Will arranged a TV in the cocktail tent so guests wouldn’t miss the Knicks’ NBA Championship showdown against the Spurs. “At one point, the entire wedding party was huddled together in formalwear to witness the historic win,” he said.
After the final buzzer, guests rushed to the dance floor for a celebration that lasted into the night . “I felt completely present with Will throughout, which was all that I hoped for,” Kenya said of the celebration.
Will and Kenya first met in 2011 on the set of an independent film in Santa Monica . They announced their engagement in July 2025 . Reflecting on the day, Will called it “the perfect moment” and wrote on Instagram: “I married my soulmate and my best friend”.
Kenya described their new chapter beautifully: “Since getting married to my best friend, home is no longer a location but wherever we are together”. The union bridges two influential families, the Jones and Peltz dynasties, bringing together music royalty and one of America’s most prominent business families .
