Quincy Jones’ youngest daughter has officially tied the knot, joining one of America’s most prominent families in the process.
After nearly 14 years together, model Kenya Kinski-Jones and billionaire heir Will Peltz said “I do” during an extravagant wedding celebration at the Peltz family’s estate in Mount Kisco, New York. Vogue UK covered the ceremony, which brought together two influential family legacies.
The marriage also officially makes Nicola Peltz—Will’s sister and the wife of Brooklyn Beckham, son of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham—Kenya’s sister-in-law, further connecting the Jones, Peltz, and Beckham families.
The wedding featured heartfelt details that honored Kenya and Will’s love story while celebrating the lasting legacy of her late father, Quincy Jones. The couple exchanged vows in the same backyard where Will had proposed, after first sharing private vows before the main ceremony.
Kenya carried a bouquet wrapped with one of Quincy Jones’ ties, while her custom Brandon Maxwell wedding gown featured a piece of her father’s handwriting embroidered into the design. She walked down the aisle to a live performance of “You Put a Move On My Heart,” one of Quincy Jones’ most celebrated collaborations, performed by Magnus Ferrell.
“When I looked down the aisle and saw him, I couldn’t contain my smile,” Kenya said of seeing Will waiting at the altar. “I was coming home to the man who I’ve known and loved my entire adult life. I’ll never forget how I felt looking into his eyes and holding his hands in mine under the chuppah.”
Will was equally emotional, saying, “When she came out, everything faded away, and all I could see was her. The togetherness I felt is something I wish for everyone [to experience].”
The celebration also highlighted the long-standing connection between the two families. Kenya and Will later discovered that Quincy Jones and billionaire investor Nelson Peltz had been close friends for nearly 40 years before the couple ever met.
“There was somewhat of an invisible string,” the couple said while reflecting on the remarkable family connection.
Several family members played meaningful roles throughout the ceremony. Nelson Peltz walked Kenya down the aisle alongside her uncle, Richard Jones, while Claudia Heffner Peltz escorted Will to the altar. The couple’s black Labrador, Bandit, also charmed guests with a memorable appearance during the ceremony.
Fashion was another major highlight of the weekend. Kenya worked with celebrity stylist Jason Rembert to create her custom Brandon Maxwell gown before changing into a Rodarte dress paired with Air Jordans for the reception. Will wore a custom tuxedo featuring embroidered tributes to loved ones stitched into the lining.
The evening ended with an unexpected moment that blended celebration with sports. As dinner concluded, guests gathered around a television to watch the New York Knicks compete in the NBA championship after Will arranged a last-minute viewing so no one would miss the historic game. Once the final buzzer sounded, everyone returned to the dance floor to continue the festivities.
