Karl-Anthony Towns has found his lifelong teammate in Jordyn Woods, and their love story is as adorable as it gets. After five years of dating, the NBA player and model confirmed their engagement in heartwarming photos, with Karl dropping to one knee on a rooftop for the Dec. 25 announcement. Alongside a red heart, Christmas tree, and diamond ring emoji, they captioned their joint Instagram post, "Merry Christmas."
In another tender photo from the carousel, the couple embraces the emotional moment with a hug, while Jordyn, sporting the perfect bride-to-be outfit in a white satin dress and matching fur coat, shows off her massive ring.
While the pair officially revealed their wedding plans, speculation about their latest chapter has been swirling since early October, when Jordyn posted a carousel of selfies on Instagram wearing a huge sparkler on her finger. In the Oct. 3 photo, the socialite wore a New York Knicks hoodie, no doubt in support of her soon-to-be hubby who was traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Knicks that same day.
To turn heads even more, she participated in a bridal-themed filter challenge on Snapchat while waiting in the In-N-Out drive-thru line. The filter presented a slew of bridal gowns and accessories to be selected, perfect for "building my dream wedding vibe," she wrote in the video with a laughing emoji.
While she wasn't a big fan of the bridal get-up, she didn't mind keeping fans guessing about her impending marital status. "I don't really love these choices right now, Jordyn, 27, said, "but since all of you keep asking when I'm getting married, might as well."
The questions are justified considering the two have been vocal in the past about their friends-to-lovers relationship. "I think it's kind of cool dating your best friend," Jordyn, who began dating Karl-Anthony in 2020, said on her Instagram series Regular-ish in 2021. "We know each other. We know each other's hearts. We've been through a lot of bad days together."
That same year, cheating rumors circulated after screenshots of an alleged conversation between the NBA player and another woman surfaced. However, Karl-Anthony, 28, immediately set the record straight—and nodded to a future engagement. "So I got the baddest girl in the game and you think I'm gonna waste my energy with anyone else? GTFOH!" the athlete wrote. "Same haters we got now are gonna be the same ones we have when I put that ring on her finger."
