Famed skateboarder Tony Hawk is clearing the air after online rumors that he got married at convicted sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein’s island, a claim the Birdman called “misinformation.”
“Here are the facts and timelines of my nuptials, and I apologize if they don’t fit a narrative of nonsense,” Hawk, who married four times, began an Instagram story he posted on Thursday.

The skateboarder clarified that his weddings took place at his home in Fallbrook, California, the Hilton Hotel in San Diego, Tavarua Surf Island in Fiji, and at Adare Manor in Ireland — none of which are Little Saint James, Epstein’s private estate in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Rumors about Hawk stemmed from an email dated Oct. 22, 2024, written by a special agent with the FBI investigating a case involving a minor allegedly being trafficked. The Department of Justice released the email as part of a batch of files made public under the Epstein Files Transparency Act in which multiple celebrities and high-profile people were named.
The email stated that the victim reported that “she was taken from Ireland and brought to Jeffrey Epstein Island when she was 13 years old,” and “she was there when Prince Edward was there and when Tony Hawk got married on the island.”
Coincidentally, one guest who attended Hawk’s 2006 wedding in Fiji is named Mark Epstein, who shares the same name as the convicted sex abuser’s younger brother. That guest also shot photos at Hawk’s wedding.

Hawk’s wedding guest has no relation to late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, but is instead an “accomplished action sports photographer from Wyoming,” the skateboarder wrote.
Hawk maintains that he never met Jeffrey Epstein, nor has he ever visited his island.
“This is all easily verifiable information,” Hawk wrote. “Facts are not fungible.”
