New York Knicks head coach Mike Brown is spending his offseason in Italy with his wife, Rochelle “Ro” Ledesma. The couple was seen enjoying a vacation in Porto Cervo, a seaside resort in Northern Sardinia, on Sunday, August 16, 2026.
The pair, who generally maintain a private personal life, were observed together in the ocean and relaxing under an umbrella. Brown wore white swim shorts and sunglasses, while Ledesma was seen in a blue bikini.
This European getaway follows a busy summer for Brown. In his first year leading the Knicks, he guided the team to their first NBA championship in 53 years. The Knicks defeated the Spurs in June, winning four out of five games and clinching the title with a 94-90 victory in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Following the championship, Brown participated in a media tour that included appearances on "The Tonight Show" and "Good Morning America." He also received a warm reception at The Polo Bar in mid-June, where he was met with applause and "let's go Knicks" chants.
Brown was previously married to Carolyn, with whom he divorced in January 2015. They share two sons, Elijah and Cameron, both of whom played collegiate sports. Elijah pursued a basketball career, playing at Butler, transferring to New Mexico, and finishing his college career at Oregon.
Brown has not yet been photographed at the wedding of Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns and model Jordyn Woods, which took place on August 15 in Malibu. Several of Towns' teammates, including Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and OG Anunoby, were in attendance at the wedding.
