Karl-Anthony Towns just won the NBA championship. His wedding to Jordyn Woods? Not so much. The New York Knicks star admitted that with a ring on his finger, the Larry O'Brien kind wedding planning with his fiancée has barely even started. Jordyn already had her bachelorette in St. Barts. KAT was busy watching game tape. The bride is ready. The groom is just now finding out there's a florist involved.
Karl-Anthony Towns hasn't planned a single thing for his wedding to Jordyn Woods
Fresh off the Knicks' first NBA title in 53 years, Towns was caught at a Raising Cane's in Times Square, very normal championship behaviour and told TMZ exactly where his head was at. "I need to start planning. I need to start there. The only thing I've been planning this whole time was an NBA championship," he said. So no venue tours, no cake tastings, no seating chart drama. Just buckets.
To be fair, the man delivered. The Knicks ended a 53-year title drought this season, and Towns was at the centre of it all, averaging big numbers through a gruelling playoff run that ended in a Finals win. Every ounce of his focus went into bringing a championship back to New York City, and he's made zero apologies about it. When you're trying to end a half-century of suffering for an entire fanbase, the wedding Pinterest board can wait.
The couple got engaged on Christmas Eve 2025, when KAT proposed with a massive 15-carat emerald-cut diamond on a rooftop overlooking Manhattan. It was a full movie moment, Jordyn in a white fuzzy coat, the city lights behind them, the whole thing. They announced on Instagram with the caption "Marry Christmas," which honestly deserves points for the pun alone. The ring even has a hidden detail: birthstones from both their families on each side of the band, symbolising their families becoming one. Romantic, thoughtful, clearly planned well in advance. The wedding itself? Different story.
Jordyn's ready, KAT's just getting started
Jordyn Woods has not been sitting around waiting. She celebrated her bachelorette trip to St. Barts at the end of March, posting the whole thing on Instagram with the caption "Did you hear the news!?!? I'm on my Bach!!!!" Her closest friends flew out, the photos were immaculate, and the whole thing screamed someone who is very much ready to get married. Back in February, Jordyn was already sharing her top three wedding must-haves at NBA All-Star weekend. She knew what she wanted. She just needed KAT to catch up.
The two have been together since 2020, going Instagram official in September of that year. Five and a half years, a championship, a bachelorette party, and a 15-carat ring later, Towns is now officially out of excuses. The Canyon of Heroes parade is Thursday. After that, someone hand this man a wedding planner and a very strong coffee. New York got its title. Jordyn's getting her wedding. Eventually.
