KAT Won The Game, Then Popped The Question
Karl-Anthony Towns is officially off the market after proposing to Jordyn Woods on Dec. 25, following the New York Knicks’ close 126–124 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden. The couple revealed their engagement via Instagram, captioning the post “Marry Christmas,” as Towns got down on one knee at Overstory, a rooftop bar in New York City with sweeping views of both the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. Woods stunned in an all-white look featuring a silk skirt and fuzzy jacket, while the five-time All-Star kept it classic in a suede jacket and tailored pants. And yes—the emerald-cut ring definitely did its thing.
Social Media Wasn’t Surprised One Bit
Fans wasted no time flooding TSR’s Instagram comment section, with many saying they already knew this moment was coming. Others joked that it was about time Karl-Anthony Towns put a ring on it, adding that someone else surely would have if he didn’t. Meanwhile, plenty of commenters kept it sweet, sending prayers, love, and congratulations as they celebrated the couple’s journey.
