Donovan Put A Ring On Coco!
On July 11, actress and singer Coco Jones officially broke the internet — revealing she’s engaged! The ‘Bel-Air’ star shared a breathtaking photo alongside her now-fiancé, Cleveland Cavaliers baller, Donovan Mitchell, and it’s giving “couple goals.” In the photo posted to both of their Instagram pages, Coco rests her hand on his chest, showing off a flawless ring that’s catching just as much sun as she is. The two are locked in a kiss, golden hour glowing all around them, and the whole moment looks straight out of a movie.
But wait — there’s more! In the engagement video shared with the announcement, Donovan is seen getting down on one knee at a beachside house with a view that’s nothing short of stunning… but let’s be real, nothing outshines Coco. The vibe appears to be intimate, romantic, and completely unforgettable — just the way a forever moment should be.

What We Know Of Coco & Donovan’s Love Story
While fans had long suspected something was going on, Coco Jones and Donovan Mitchell kept their romance on the low for the past two years— until now! The couple just went public with their engagement, but Coco has been dropping subtle hints for a minute. Back in April, she told ‘The Breakfast Club,’ “I’m happy, and that’s all I got to say about it.” And, when she stopped by ‘Club Shay Shay’ in February, she playfully responded to fan theories, saying, “I love the internet because they definitely clocked my tea… little spies everywhere!”
Despite the buzz, Coco’s made it clear she values her privacy. “Some things I keep for myself ‘cause this is my life, too,” she said. The ICU singer also added, “I don’t want to ever feel like I have to be somebody’s secret… I’m trying to protect myself and whoever I love.” Now that the ring is out, one thing’s for sure — this love was seemingly worth the wait!
