Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordyn Woods are officially engaged after celebrating Christmas with a major milestone. The New York Knicks star, 30, proposed to Woods, 28, on December 25, following the team’s narrow 126-124 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden. The couple shared the news through a joint Instagram post, writing, “Marry Christmas 🎄❤️💍.”
A Christmas Proposal in New York City
The engagement took place at Overstory, a rooftop bar overlooking Lower Manhattan, where Towns got down on one knee in a candlelit setting. Woods wore a white fuzzy coat layered over a fitted white dress, while Towns opted for a suede coat and black pants, creating a chic winter look for the holiday proposal.
The announcement marks a new chapter for a couple who have been open about their relationship since going Instagram official in September 2020. Though they had known each other for years, they described the early months of the pandemic as the period that shifted their connection from friendship into romance.

When celebrating their first anniversary on Woods’ series Regular-ish, the pair reflected on how their bond deepened during a difficult time marked by the loss of Towns’ mother, Jacqueline, in April 2020. Towns shared that the pandemic forced them to define their relationship, ultimately choosing to pursue something more meaningful than friendship.
Woods has echoed the importance of their strong foundation, saying, “I think it’s kind of cool dating your best friend. We know each other’s hearts. We’ve been through a lot together.” Over the years, the couple has celebrated anniversaries, attended countless NBA games, and even collaborated creatively — with Woods releasing a song called “Be With You” in 2024 dedicated to Towns.
A Strong Foundation Moving Into the Future
Both Towns and Woods have publicly praised each other’s support throughout their relationship. Woods has emphasized the importance of “friendship and trust,” while Towns has spoken about how her daily encouragement has made a significant impact on his life and career. Reflecting on his mother and sister, Towns said, “I’ve seen the impact that good women have on men’s lives, and I’m blessed to appreciate Jordyn in the same way.”
As the couple celebrates their engagement, fans and well-wishers are already looking forward to the next chapter for one of the NBA’s most beloved pairs — and you can stay updated on all the latest celebrity stories at InvestRecords.com.
