Jordyn Woods officially stepped into her fiancée era on Christmas Day, and she did it in full spotlight. Just hours after announcing her engagement to NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns, Woods made a courtside appearance at Madison Square Garden, proudly showing off her engagement ring while cheering on her future husband during the New York Knicksâ holiday matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The 28-year-old shared photos from the arena on Instagram the following day, posing on the court with her new diamond front and center. Woods leaned into festive fashion for the outing, wearing a white-and-brown furry coat styled as a dress, cinched with an oversize white belt. She paired the look with white lace tights, statement lace-up stiletto ankle boots and a Hermès Birkin bag. âTurned the garden to an ice rink ð¤âï¸ Iâm overwhelmed with all of the kind messages, love you guys!!!!!â she wrote.
The appearance came one day after Woods and Towns revealed their engagement in a joint Instagram post captioned, âMarry Christmas ðâ¤ï¸ð.â The announcement included photos of Towns getting down on one knee at Overstory, a rooftop bar overlooking the New York City skyline, marking a major milestone after five years together.
From Friendship to Forever
While the ring may be new, Woods and Townsâ love story has been years in the making. The couple began dating in 2020 after knowing each other for years through mutual friends. They went Instagram official that September while celebrating Woodsâ birthday in Mexico, sharing coordinated beach photos and heartfelt captions.
Both have spoken openly about how their friendship laid the foundation for their relationship. Woods has previously described their dynamic as âdating your best friend,â while Towns has said the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to decide whether to stay friends or take the next step together. They chose the latter, per People.
Over the years, the two have consistently shown up for one another through personal loss, career highs and public scrutiny. Woods has been a constant presence at Townsâ games and milestones, while Towns has credited her with helping ground him during some of the most difficult moments of his life.
Kylie Jennerâs Reaction and a Full-Circle Moment
One of the most talked-about reactions to the engagement came from Kylie Jenner. Shortly after Woods shared the news, Jenner commented on the post with an enthusiastic, âJordyyyyyyy ð¥ºð¥ºð¥ºð¥ºð¥º,â and liked the announcement.
The moment stood out given the former best friendsâ complicated history. Woods and Jenner famously fell out in 2019 following Woodsâ involvement in a scandal with Tristan Thompson, who was dating Khloé Kardashian at the time, per Us Weekly. The fallout led to years of distance between Woods and the Kardashian-Jenner family.
Since then, both women have emphasized personal growth and evolution, eventually reconnecting publicly in 2023. Jennerâs reaction to Woodsâ engagement now underscores that shift. Reflecting on her journey in recent years, Woods previously said, âYou canât let life dim you down. You have to constantly become better and evolve.â
