In a delightful surprise for fans, Grammy-winning singer Coco Jones and Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell have officially announced their engagement. The couple shared the joyous news on Instagram on July 11, showcasing their love and commitment to one another after nearly two years of dating.
The engagement comes after a whirlwind season for both Jones and Mitchell. With Jones finishing a sold-out tour and Mitchell having an impressive season with the Cavaliers, the couple decided to take a much-needed vacation where the proposal took place. Their representatives released a statement to PEOPLE, expressing the couple’s excitement about building a life together: “After an amazing season and a sold-out tour, Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones took a moment to recharge on vacation, which turned it into a beautiful engagement.”
Both stars shared a tender moment on social media, with Jones proudly displaying her stunning engagement ring while the couple shared a kiss. The heartfelt image captured the essence of their relationship, radiating happiness and love. Donovan also gave fans a glimpse into the intimate proposal, sharing a video of the moment he got down on one knee at a picturesque resort pool surrounded by swaying palm trees. The clip shows the couple walking casually before Mitchell stops, kneels, and after Jones accepts, they share a loving embrace.
While speculation about their relationship has been circulating for some time, Coco Jones has consistently chosen to keep her personal life private. In an interview with The Breakfast Club earlier this year, she stated, “I’m happy, and that’s all I got to say about it,” skillfully deflecting questions about her romance with the NBA star. However, she did acknowledge the curiosity surrounding their relationship in a playful manner during an appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, saying, “I love the internet because they definitely clocked my tea. I love that. Little spies everywhere. I feel like I’m in a detective movie.”
Despite their efforts to maintain a low profile, the couple is now openly celebrating their commitment, ushering in an exciting new chapter in their lives. As they embark on this journey together, fans and followers are eager to see how their love story unfolds.
