There's officially a new power couple at ESPN: Jalen Rose and Molly Qerim announced their marriage Friday.

Rose tweeted out a photo of the couple, both dressed in white, with the caption: "Just Married. #Blessed." Rose also tweeted a photo of Qerim in a white wedding dress, describing her simply as "Earth Angel."

Rose serves as one of the three co-hosts of the new "Get Up!" weekday morning show with Mike Greenberg and Michelle Beadle (7-10 a.m. ET). Qerim moderates "First Take" with Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman (10 a.m. to noon ET).

The 45-year-old Rose, the former Michigan and NBA star turned analyst on ESPN's "NBA Countdown," married the 34-year-old Qerim in a private ceremony in New York, according to the New York Post.

Qerim previously posted a photo from the Turks and Caicos Islands with a famous Jay Z line: "You could've been anywhere in the world, but you’re here with me. I appreciate that." Social media sleuths likely noticed the large ring on Qerim's left hand.

A few months back, Qerim broke down her top five power couples in sports. Now we can officially add No. 6.
