Jordyn Woods Engaged to NBA Star Karl-Anthony Towns, 6 Years After Tristan Thompson Scandal

From Kardashian inner-circle outcast to NBA fiancée. Jordyn Woods just announced her engagement to NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns, marking a stunning new chapter six years after a life-altering scandal. The couple, who have been together for five years, shared the news on Christmas Day.

A Christmas Engagement in NYC

Woods, 28, and Towns, 30, announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post on Thursday with the caption, "Marry Christmas 🎄❤️💍". According to Entertainment Weekly, the proposal took place at Overstory, a rooftop cocktail bar on the 64th floor of a New York City skyscraper. The timing was especially sweet, as Towns' team, the New York Knicks, had defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in a 126-124 victory just hours before they shared their news.

The Scandal That Changed Everything

The engagement is a significant milestone for Woods, who was at the center of a media firestorm in February 2019. Back then, she was the inseparable best friend of Kylie Jenner and a fixture on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Everything changed when she allegedly hooked up with Tristan Thompson, who was dating Jenner's sister, Khloé Kardashian, at the time. The fallout was immediate, leading to a public split between Woods and the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan.

From 'Red Table Talk' to Reconciliation

Woods addressed the scandal on Jada Pinkett-Smith's Red Table Talk, admitting that Thompson kissed her but denying anything more intimate occurred. In the years since, she carved her own path, competing as the Kangaroo on The Masked Singer and focusing on her own brand. In what seemed to be a sign of healing, she and Jenner were photographed together in 2023, suggesting a reconciliation.
