With March Madness in full swing, basketball fans have had to deal with the progression of 68 different teams over the last few days, with anticipation rising to witness who will make the Final 4. Amidst these varying runs of different seeded franchises, one thing has remained consistent: the behind-the-scenes studio coverage of the games by the Turner Sports crew, consisting of Candace Parker, Seth Davis, Jay Wright, and, last but not least, Adam Lefkoe. Longtime TNT viewers have especially welcomed Lefkoe, since he has been a part of the network’s on-screen game coverage for at least half a decade now. Till now, the 38-year-old has managed to grab the viewers’ attention through his quality insights, energy, speculative opinions, and simple expertise. While the college basketball games in itself are thrilling, Lefkoe and the crew help to make the half-time and post-game analysis all the more better through their discussion.

Despite the number of years we have seen Lefkoe on our television screens, none of us might have chosen to learn more about the presenter’s personal life. Well, if your curiosity has risen after repeatedly seeing Lefkoe during Turner Sports’ NCAA coverage, then read on to learn more about his life.

Who is Adam Lefkoe’s wife Inem Ikpan? How long have they been married?

According to Wiki Bio World, Adam Lefkoe’s future wife, Dr. Inem Akpan was born Inemesit “Inem” Akpan on January 27th, 1987. She is reportedly of Nigerian descent and is one of four children born to her mother, Mfon Akpan. Her older brothers are reportedly named Okon Jimmy Akpan and Okon Akpan. Her sister is named Mfoniso Akpan.

Inem first completed her education from LaGuardia High School, where she earned a degree in dance. During her tenure there, she won the Albert E. Bernstein Award, and the Dance Excellence in Studio Award. According to her LinkedIn profile, Inem would later graduate, with a Doctorate in Pharmacy, from St.John’s University in Queens, New York. On the side, Inem also reportedly did an acting apprenticeship at Susan Batson Studio, Carl Ford, and New York.  She also has a certificate in the ‘Executive Education, Developing New Business Ventures’ course from Columbia University.

According to reports, Adam Lefkoe and Inem Akpan first started dating back in 2017. The couple is said to have first met through a dating app called ‘The League’. Their conversations reportedly soon turned to FaceTime, and the duo officially went on a first date somewhere on the Lower Side of Manhattan.

The couple eventually tied the knot back in May 2021. They reportedly got engaged in September 2019, after dating for two years. Lefkoe reportedly proposed to Inem with a ring, at sunset, on an Anguillian beach. The couple was already planning a wedding in July 2020. However, it was reportedly postponed due to the COVID pandemic. The photos posted by Lefkoe through his official social media handle highlighted a grand wedding at the Oneka Castle in New York, with both the bride and the groom being surrounded by loved ones, and the aesthetics to capture some remarkable pictures.

What does Inem Ikpan do for a living?

After graduating from St John’s, Inem reportedly began her professional career in 2012, as a pharmacist at EmblemHealth. Sometime during her 5 years with the company, Inem became part of an initiative named ‘Movement is Medicine’, which emphasized inspiring the community to dance for better health. After EmblemHealth, Inem worked as an Account Director for 2 years at FCB Health. Then, she transitioned to a VP, Payer Marketing Strategy role at Havas Health & You. Since October 2021, Inem has been working for TikTok, and has been making contributions through the position of Global Business Solutions, North America, Healthcare Strategy. From 2014 to 2017, Inem also served as an Advisory Board Member for the Harlem Health Promotion Center at Columbia University.

Besides her work in the pharmaceutical industry, Inem has reportedly followed many New York fashion shows during Africa Fashion Week, Mbobo Couture, NYFW and Bebe, Aeropostale. She appeared in various commercials while working with EmblemHealth. Inem has also worked as a model for MMG. Upon a close glance, you might even catch her making an appearance in Chris Rock’s 2014 movie Top Five.

Do Adam Lefkoe and Inem Ikpan have kids together?

Adam and Inem’s son was born on 27th November, 2023. Named Prince Arthur Akpan Lefkoe, the TNT sportscaster announced the birth to the world by highlighting a post with a sleeping photo of his child on social media a few days later. He attached another photo to the post which showed him and Inem, with their heads together, while Price rested between them. Adam also posted a quote on the post, that read, “One day, there will be little mini me’s running around, half of me and half of the person I love, I like that image”.

Just 1 year old, and Prince has also started gaining the attention of some high-profile celebrities. Back in February, Adam Lefkoe recalled that he was invited by Travis Kelce to a New York Yankees game in October 2024. During the conversation they had in the middle of the game, the Kansas City Chiefs star asked about Lefkoe’s son. No sooner had Kelce said “Baby” when his girlfriend, the one and only Taylor Swift, gasped and gushed, “Baby? Let me see!”

“She comes over and she looks at my son, Prince, and she’s like, ‘That might be the cutest baby I’ve ever seen’” Lefkoe recalled.

Adam and Inem have created a beautiful life for themselves. While we don’t get to see much of Inem in the public spotlight, we hope that she might turn up for the final game of March Madness. As a bonus, she could bring Prince too, so that an entire stadium can gush over the child this time, and not just a pop star.
