The emotional revelation came alongside a stunning set of photos that perfectly captured the celebration's joy and sentiment. Woods' latest social media post offers fans an intimate look into just how profoundly meaningful the day was for her. The engagement itself unfolded dramatically on Christmas night in New York City, following the Knicks' 126-124 victory over the Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden. Her post confirms the moment remains a vibrant picture in her mind as initial wedding plans get underway.
Thirteen Frames of Happiness
On Instagram, Jordyn Woods treated followers to a carousel of 13 photos from the proposal day. The series opened with a radiant image of Woods dressed in white. Subsequent frames offered candid glimpses: Woods inside a car, Towns checking his phone, and later, joyful scenes surrounded by friends and family. The collection concluded with a photo of the New York Post's front-page coverage announcing their engagement.
Accompanying the visuals, Woods opened up about the proposal's deeply personal significance. "I keep replaying this moment in my head," she wrote. "Karl didn't even know my dad proposed to my mom on Christmas Eve and in a way we still got to honor his memory. More to come soon?" This touching connection to her late father added an unexpected layer of emotion to the celebration.
With the next chapter beginning, Woods directly engaged her audience for advice, writing: "✨?wedding planning starts now so brides drop some recommendations and advice in the comments ?✨"
A Rooftop Proposal and a Five-Year Foundation
The fateful question was popped at Overstory, a rooftop bar in New York City. Towns dropped to one knee as Woods, wearing a white fuzzy coat over a white dress with her hair in a sleek ponytail, said yes. The couple jointly announced their engagement with the playful caption, "Marry Christmas ?❤️?".
Towns and Woods have been a couple for five years, having begun their relationship in 2020. They have consistently spoken about building a strong bond rooted in friendship, trust, and navigating shared hardships. Towns once explained how their connection deepened during the pandemic lockdowns.
"Me and Jordyn met years ago knowing common people and became friends," he recalled. "And ever since then, our relationship grew where we became more than friends."
Woods has echoed this sentiment, sharing her perspective on dating the Minnesota Timberwolves standout. "I think it's kind of cool dating your best friend. We know each other. We know each other's hearts," she said. "We know each other on good days and bad days and we've been through a lot of bad days together."
Their relationship has flourished alongside Towns' thriving NBA career, with Woods being a constant, supportive presence at games. Towns has publicly acknowledged how much this means to him, stating her "daily basis" support is "truly special." While wedding planning is officially in motion, the couple has chosen to keep the specific date private for now.
