Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns made it official on Christmas Day. After five years of growing from friends into partners, the couple shared their engagement with the world, and the moment felt equal parts intimate and celebratory.
The photos say it all. Shot high above the city at Overstory, Karl-Anthony drops to one knee as Jordyn looks stunned, glowing, and very much in love. The skyline sparkles behind them, but the real star is the massive diamond now sitting proudly on Jordyn’s finger. She later captioned the post with a playful “Merry Christmas,” and fans instantly flooded the comments with love, jokes, and happy tears.
What made the announcement even sweeter was the timing. Earlier that same day, Towns helped power New York to a thrilling 126–124 comeback win over Cleveland, erasing a 17-point deficit. From the hardwood to a rooftop proposal, it was a full-circle day that felt straight out of a movie. Knicks fans celebrated the win, while social media zoomed in on Towns’ uncontrollable smile during the proposal, turning his joy into memes and applause alike.
Jordyn showed up looking every bit like a bride-to-be. She wore a white satin dress paired with a chic fur coat, effortlessly elegant and perfectly on theme for the moment. In one photo, the couple embraces, soaking it all in. In another, Jordyn flashes the ring with a quiet confidence that says this chapter was worth the wait.
The engagement didn’t come out of nowhere. Back in October, Jordyn had fans raising eyebrows after posting selfies with a noticeable sparkler on that finger while rocking a New York Knicks hoodie, a subtle show of support after Towns’ trade from Minnesota. She kept the suspense going with a playful Snapchat bridal filter moment, joking about wedding vibes while dodging direct answers. Looking back now, it all reads like soft launching forever.
Their story has always felt grounded because it started with friendship. Jordyn once described dating your best friend as knowing someone fully, on good days and bad, and standing together through both. That bond has been tested publicly before, including past rumors that Towns quickly shut down with loyalty and confidence, even hinting that a ring was always part of the plan.
From friends to lovers to forever, this engagement feels earned.
