Coco Jones Just Got Engaged to NBA Star Donovan Mitchell - And the Internet Is in Full Meltdown Mode

Published 07/11/2025, 8:56 PM EDT

It all began not with a bang, but with a courtside seat. Though whispers of a romance between singer Coco Jones and NBA player Donovan Mitchell were still speculative last summer, their public appearances told a different story. From Coco Jones cheering for Donovan Mitchell at the Paris Olympics to their very public hand-holding at an Usher concert in September 2024, the signs were all there. What started as subtle PDA quickly began echoing louder than a playoff buzzer.

Now, the couple has officially broken the internet, not with a breakup scandal or matching outfits, but with an engagement announcement following two years of blissful matrimony. Coco Jones confirmed the joyous news via a sun-drenched Instagram post, and the virtual crowd has not calmed down since. The pop-R&B icon and the NBA superstar have taken their relationship from soft-launch to headline act, and fans are emotionally winded in the best way.

In the now-iconic post, the couple looks sun-drenched and unbothered, but even the blinding daylight could not outshine the spectacular ring on Coco Jones’s finger. Yet, it was a cinematic drone video that sealed the news: Donovan Mitchell dropping to one knee with the finesse of a three-point shot, proposing under palm trees that swayed so dramatically, one could swear they were choreographed. Nature, it seems, ships them too.
