As the NBA playoffs heat up with the Knicks, Karl-Anthony Towns’ off-court status is just as big: he’s engaged to Jordyn Woods, his girlfriend of about six years.
Karl-Anthony Towns — known across the league as KAT — is preparing for the Knicks as the NBA playoffs finals kick off on Wednesday, June 3. On-court, he’s locked in. Off-court, the spotlight is on the person standing beside him.
Towns is engaged, and his fiancée is Jordyn Woods.
The two have been together for about six years. They were first linked in 2020 and got engaged over the holidays in 2025. Woods has long been a presence during Towns’ games, often seen courtside cheering him on as his NBA career moved through its highs and setbacks.
After the Knicks made it to the finals a few days ago. Woods posted an Instagram message that sounded like a love letter to the grind behind the headlines. She wrote, “I’ve watched you make it to the Conference Finals three years in a row. 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’ fame predates her relationship with Towns by years. She first rose to prominence through her close friendship with Kylie Jenner, appearing on Life of Kylie and Keeping Up with the Kardashians as one of Jenner’s closest friends.
She’s also built a business life beyond reality TV. Woods owns Woods by Jordyn, a fashion brand, and has expanded into wellness through her involvement with The Tox Buckhead, an Atlanta wellness destination.
The public attention around Woods, of course, also includes the high-profile drama involving the Kardashian-Jenner circle. In February 2019, it was reported that Khloé Kardashian’s boyfriend at the time, Tristan Thompson, cheated on her with Woods. The reporting at the time said Tristan was in town to spend Valentine’s Day with Khloé. then headed to a party a few nights later. sparking the headlines. It was alleged that Woods was seen kissing Tristan.
Woods later took a lie detector test, saying she never slept with him. The polygraphist said she was telling the truth.
By June 2021. Khloé and Kylie discussed the scandal on Keeping Up With the Kardashians and shared where they stood with Woods at the time. Tristan also apologized to Kylie for what went down with Woods. More recently, Kylie explained the real reason behind her friendship break with Woods. And in the present. they appear to be on good terms again. with photos showing Woods and Kylie on a double date.
With the finals now underway and Towns stepping into the biggest games of the season, Woods’ engagement stands out as a steady thread through the noise — a reminder that life off the court is moving forward, even as the Knicks chase one more result.
