Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordyn Woods announce engagement on Christmas
*This day/moment has been coming for quite some time. New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns and model-entrepreneur Jordyn Woods are officially engaged. The couple shared the big news on Christmas Day (12-25-25), through a joint Instagram post with the playful caption, “Marry Christmas ?.” The post featured photos from a glamorous rooftop proposal in New York City.
The engagement came hours after Towns helped lead the Knicks to a 126–124 Christmas Day win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden. It was a day of celebration both on and off the court for the 30-year-old NBA standout.
Proposal took place on a romantic NYC rooftop
According to reports, the proposal happened on a high-rise rooftop—possibly Overstory—offering stunning views of the city skyline. Photos show Towns down on one knee, holding out a bold diamond engagement ring as Woods reacts with emotion.
Woods wore a white satin gown and a matching fur coat, capturing the winter elegance of the moment. Close-up shots showed the massive ring and intimate hugs between the couple. The proposal quickly captured attention across social media platforms.

The couple transitioned from friends to romantic partners during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in May 2020. They made their relationship public that September and have since been one of the NBA’s most admired couples.
Relationship milestones leading up to the proposal
Over the past five years, Towns and Woods have stood by each other through personal and professional highs and lows. In 2021, Towns addressed online rumors and made clear he saw a future with Woods. The couple shut down false engagement rumors in 2024 when Woods was seen wearing a large ring.
Earlier in 2025, Towns was traded to the New York Knicks, while Woods became a regular courtside presence at his games. For his 30th birthday in November, she gifted him a restored vintage car that once belonged to his late mother—a deeply emotional gesture.
Public celebrates a love story rooted in friendship
Fans and celebrities quickly flooded social media with congratulations and well-wishes. Many praised the timing of the announcement, calling the Christmas Day proposal both romantic and meaningful. The engagement post went viral within hours.
Woods has previously called Towns her “big kid” who brings fun and adventure to her life. Towns, in turn, often speak about their trust, loyalty, and deep connection. Their bond has long been seen as one of the most genuine in celebrity and sports circles.
No wedding details shared yet
As of now, the couple has not released details about a wedding date or location. Given their history of keeping things personal until they’re ready, fans may have to wait a bit for more updates. For now, the spotlight remains on their joyful engagement and the emotional meaning behind it.
This proposal marks a major milestone for the couple, blending personal triumph with Towns’ ongoing rise in New York’s basketball scene. From pandemic beginnings to a Christmas engagement, their love story continues to inspire.
