The Timeline: How Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones Went from DM to Diamond
The relationship between the Cleveland Cavaliers guard and the R&B sensation was initially a subject of speculation, but the recent engagement confirms their serious commitment. Their love story is a modern-day fairytale that started with a bold move and culminated in a stunning proposal.
The Years-Ago DM That Started It All
In a surprising twist, Coco Jones revealed that Donovan Mitchell first reached out to her long before they officially started dating. The NBA All-Star slid into her DMs with a simple, yet effective, message: "something with a red heart." Jones, who was focused on her career at the time, admitted she didn't initially respond. This detail proves that Mitchell had his eye on the singer for years, showing persistence and dedication.
First Sightings and Subtle Confirmations
Rumors of a romance first surfaced in the summer of 2024. The couple was initially spotted together at Michael Rubin's high-profile Fourth of July party. Following this, their relationship gained traction when Jones was seen sitting courtside at a Cavaliers game in December 2024, cheering on her man "Spida" Mitchell.
Jones finally confirmed their relationship publicly in an interview in March 2025, putting an end to months of speculation and solidifying their status as a couple. They were then seen together at other major events, including Day 6 of the 2025 US Open Tennis Championships in August 2025, just weeks after their engagement announcement.
Inside the Dazzling July 2025 Engagement
The biggest news came in July 2025 when Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones simultaneously announced their engagement on Instagram. The proposal was a private, romantic affair that was later shared with the world through a series of candid, beautifully captured photos. The announcement confirmed that Jones said "Yes" after a relatively short but intense period of dating, proving that when you know, you know.
The Massive Engagement Ring Reveal
As expected from an NBA star, the engagement ring presented to Coco Jones was nothing short of spectacular. While specific carat details are kept private, the ring is a massive, sparkling diamond that instantly became one of the most talked-about celebrity rings of 2025. Jones gave fans a closer look at the dazzling piece of jewelry in a subsequent video for Laneige, proudly flashing the rock from her new fiancé.
Mitchell, who is known for his high-flying dunks and clutch shots, called the engagement a "blessing" in a joint statement released by the couple's representatives. This milestone comes at a peak time for both stars: Mitchell is a perennial NBA All-Star for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Jones is riding the massive success of her Grammy-winning single "ICU" and her acclaimed role in the show *Bel-Air*.
The Future: Wedding Bells, R&B, and the NBA
With their engagement official, fans are now eagerly anticipating the next chapter for the couple. Their union symbolizes a powerful blend of sports and music royalty, bringing together two dominant forces in the modern entertainment landscape.
The wedding is expected to be a major celebrity event, though details are being kept tightly under wraps. Given Jones’s background in R&B and her ties to the music industry—including her appearance at the Dreamville Festival—and Mitchell’s connections within the NBA, the guest list will undoubtedly be star-studded.
For now, the couple is enjoying their new status as fiancés. Mitchell is focused on his ongoing career with the Cleveland Cavaliers, while Jones continues to dominate the R&B charts and her acting career. Their decision to go public with their engagement in 2025 has cemented their status as a true power couple, proving that sometimes, all it takes is a simple DM and perfect timing to find forever.
