Jordyn Woods and NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns are engaged! The couple announced their engagement after five years of dating on Christmas Day.
Through a joint Instagram post captioned "Marry Christmas" with emojis of a Christmas tree, heart, and diamond ring, Woods and Towns shared the happy news. The engagement took place at Overstory, a rooftop bar in New York City, where Towns got down on one knee. Woods, 28, wore a white dress and a fuzzy coat, while Towns, 30, opted for a suede coat and black pants.
The couple began dating in 2020, though they had known each other for years before. They went public with their relationship in September of that year, and have been open about their journey from friends to partners.
Reflecting on their relationship, Woods has expressed that dating her best friend is special, as they know each other well and have supported each other through tough times. Towns echoed these sentiments, noting the importance of friendship and trust in their relationship. He emphasized the impact of having supportive women in his life, including his late mother, Jacqueline.
The couple's engagement had been anticipated by fans, especially after Woods was seen wearing a large emerald-cut ring in October, sparking speculation. The ring, which Towns presented during the proposal, is a significant symbol of their commitment.
As they prepare for this new chapter, both Towns and Woods have expressed gratitude for their strong foundation and the journey they've shared. Their engagement marks a joyful milestone in their relationship, celebrated by fans and loved ones alike.
