Karl-Anthony Towns Engaged to Jordyn Woods Ahead of NBA Finals

Karl-Anthony Towns, the starting lineup player for the New York Knicks, is heading into the NBA playoffs finals on Wednesday, June 3—and he's doing so with an engagement ring on his mind.

The 30-year-old basketball star has been romantically linked to Jordyn Woods, 28, since 2020. The couple announced their engagement over the 2025 holiday season after approximately six years together.

Woods has emerged as a dedicated presence in Towns' professional life, frequently supporting him from courtside during games. Following the Knicks' recent Conference Finals advancement, she shared an Instagram post celebrating the team's journey. "I've watched you make it to the Conference Finals three years in a row," she wrote. "Through every high and low, you've kept your head down, stayed optimistic, and remained the most consistent, genuine teammate, family member, and now fiancé. No matter where life takes us, it's only up from here. NBA Cup Champions, Eastern Conference Champions… and now just 4 more wins. Couldn't be more honored to be on this journey with such an incredible human being. I love you!!! Let's go NY."

Woods brings her own accomplished background to the relationship. She initially gained public recognition through her close friendship with Kylie Jenner, appearing on both Life of Kylie and Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Beyond her television presence, she has built a business portfolio that includes Woods by Jordyn, a fashion brand, and involvement with The Tox Buckhead, a wellness destination based in Atlanta.

Her path to prominence has included navigating some high-profile controversies. In February 2019, headlines erupted when reports surfaced that Tristan Thompson, then dating Khloe Kardashian, had been seen kissing Woods at a party. Thompson had been in town for Valentine's Day with Khloe before attending the event. Woods subsequently took a polygraph test in which she stated she had not slept with Thompson, with the examiner confirming her truthfulness on that point.

By June 2021, when Khloe and Kylie addressed the incident on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the situation had evolved. Tristan also apologized to Kylie regarding what had transpired. In more recent times, the parties have appeared to move past the drama, with Woods and the Kardashian-Jenner circle reportedly on good terms and even photographed together on a double date.
