Karl-Anthony Towns Proposes to Jordyn Woods on Christmas Day 2025 — Jordyn Woods Fiance
Karl-Anthony Towns is now jordyn woods fiance after proposing to Jordyn Woods on Christmas Day 2025 in New York City. The announcement landed hours after the Knicks’ 126-124 win over the Cavaliers, with Woods later posting the engagement on Instagram.
Overstory Rooftop Proposal
The proposal happened in a private corner of the rooftop Overstory bar in the Financial District, where Woods wore all white and Towns dropped to one knee. He gave her an elongated emerald-cut diamond ring estimated at more than 10 carats, a detail that makes the engagement as much a public milestone as a private one.
Woods marked the moment on Instagram with the caption, “Marry Christmas.” That single post moved the news from court-side rumor to a formal relationship update, and it also put a price-and-style frame around the ring that is already doing the most work in the story.
May 2020 to December 2025
Towns and Woods first got together romantically in May 2020, and she later wrote, “I found you, then I found me,” in a September 2020 Instagram post. In the same month, she said, “Naturally, we both connected about losing a parent at a very young age … so it was a very organic relationship.”
That shared loss shaped the relationship from the start. Woods told Extra in September 2020, “The right person will bring a lot out of you,” and a source close to the couple said, “He lost his mom, she lost his dad. That strengthened the bond for sure.”
Grief, Injury, and Wedding Prep
2017 and 2020 both sit inside the backstory here: Woods’ father, John Woods, died suddenly in 2017 after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer at age 61, and Towns lost his mother, Jacqueline Cruz, in April 2020 to complications related to COVID-19 at age 58. Towns had also been hospitalized after a 2019 car accident he said left him with a “5% chance of making it out alive,” then again in the summer of 2020 after being hit by a drunk driver in Los Angeles.
A source close to the couple said Woods was “super excited, and nervous at the same time because it’s a lot in terms of putting everything together,” which points to wedding planning already being in its final stretch. For readers tracking the relationship, the engagement is the clearest next step: a ring, a public post, and a couple that has already spent years building its story in public.
