Deep Look
NEW YORK — New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns and model and influencer Jordyn Woods are engaged, the couple confirmed Thursday in a festive Christmas Day announcement. After five years of dating, the high-profile couple shared their special moment with a stylish rooftop proposal in New York City — captured in a series of Instagram photos that quickly went viral.
The couple posted 15 elegant engagement photos to their joint Instagram, showcasing the wintry rooftop scene where Towns got down on one knee. Dressed in a white gown and a fuzzy coat, Woods looked every bit the bride-to-be, radiating joy as she accepted the NBA star’s proposal.
The Instagram caption was short and cheeky, reading simply: “Marry Christmas,” followed by a few festive emojis.
A Relationship in the Spotlight
Towns and Woods have been romantically linked since 2020, when Woods made their relationship Instagram-official with a beachside post of the two in matching swimsuits, captioned: “I found you, then I found me.”
Their relationship has since remained one of the most visible and celebrated pairings between the sports and entertainment worlds. Both frequently share glimpses of their lives on social media, from lavish vacations to red carpet appearances and family celebrations.
This engagement marks a major personal milestone for Towns, who has recently stepped into a new chapter professionally after being traded to the New York Knicks in one of the NBA’s biggest moves of 2024.
Who Is Jordyn Woods?
Jordyn Woods is a model, entrepreneur, and reality TV personality, best known for her appearances on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” and “Life of Kylie”, thanks to her longtime friendship with Kylie Jenner. Woods built a career as a fashion influencer and has launched several collaborations in beauty and fashion.
In 2019, she found herself at the center of widespread media attention due to speculation surrounding her relationship with NBA player Tristan Thompson, who shares a child with Khloé Kardashian. The incident led to a temporary rift with the Kardashian family, but reports since suggest the parties have reconciled.
Woods has since focused on rebranding her image, building her own businesses, and stepping out of the shadow of tabloid drama. Her engagement to Towns caps off what many see as a powerful personal and professional reinvention.

Known by fans as KAT, Karl-Anthony Towns is a Dominican-American NBA center who rose to prominence with the Minnesota Timberwolves before being traded to the New York Knicks last year.

Since joining the Knicks, Towns has become a key figure in the team’s push to return to championship contention, bringing his elite scoring ability and veteran leadership to the Madison Square Garden court.
Off the court, Towns is known for his philanthropy, authenticity, and public openness about grief and loss, particularly following the death of his mother in 2020 due to complications from COVID-19. His relationship with Woods has often been praised by fans for its stability and mutual support during tough times.
