New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns celebrated a special Christmas by proposing to his longtime girlfriend, Jordyn Woods. The couple officially announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post on Thursday, sharing the joyous news with their followers. Towns chose a romantic rooftop venue with the iconic New York City skyline as the backdrop for getting down on one knee. The announcement was playfully captioned with the pun, "Marry Christmas," marking a memorable holiday for the couple.

The engagement news followed Towns' performance in the Knicks' 126-124 Christmas Day victory, where he contributed 11 points and 14 rebounds. The announcement quickly garnered attention and congratulations from various public figures. Knicks guards Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart shared the post on their Instagram stories, with Brunson exclaiming, "Let's gooooooo." Chicago Sky star Angel Reese and Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee were also among those who extended their well wishes in the comments section of the announcement.

Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordyn Woods have been in a relationship since 2020, making their relationship public in September of that year. Throughout their time together, Woods has been a consistent presence, frequently attending Towns' basketball games to show her support. A notable gesture of their deep connection occurred in November for Towns' 30th birthday, when Woods surprised him with a black 1990s Isuzu Trooper, a car that held sentimental value as it was driven by Towns' late mother, Jacqueline Cruz-Towns, when he was a child. This engagement solidifies a relationship built on shared moments and significant personal connections.
