Love is in the air for New York Knicks’ superstar Karl-Anthony Towns and social media sensation Jordyn Woods, who just announced their engagement in a move that’s got the internet buzzing. But here’s where it gets emotional: after five years of dating, the couple shared a heartwarming Instagram post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DSs5CFLlQON) with the playful caption ‘Marry Christmas’ and a series of stunning rooftop proposal photos in New York. Woods, dressed to perfection in a long white gown and a cozy coat, looked every bit the part of a future bride. And this is the part most people miss—their love story began in 2020 when Woods confirmed their relationship on Instagram with a heartfelt caption, ‘I found you, then I found me,’ alongside beachside photos in matching swimsuits.

Woods, an American influencer, model, and actor, rose to fame through her appearances on reality shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Life of Kylie, thanks to her close friendship with Kylie Jenner (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/kylie-jenner). But here’s where it gets controversial: in 2019, Woods found herself at the center of tabloid drama amid speculation about her involvement with Cleveland Cavaliers player Tristan Thompson, the father of Khloe Kardashian’s daughter, True. The fallout was intense, but the family and Woods have since reconciled. What do you think—was the media too quick to judge?
Towns, affectionately known as KAT, is a Dominican American NBA star who started his career with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
