Congratulations are in order for Coco Jones and Donovan Mitchell! On July 11, 2025, the singer and basketball star announced their engagement on Instagram. Each of them posted the same photo on the social media platform, which showed Jones resting her left hand on Mitchell’s chest. The new bride wore a strapless white dress for the moment while the shooting guard donned a black-and-white checked collared shirt. The Cleveland Cavaliers player also included a video of the proposal in his post. In the clip, the athlete is seen getting down on one knee while the two stand next to an oceanside pool surrounded by palm trees, white umbrellas, and chaise lounge chairs.
However, Mitchell didn’t arrange the moment completely on his own. On his Instagram story, Russell Wilson made sure to congratulate the couple—while also hinting at his role in regard to the proposal. “Thanks for allowing us to plan this with you Spida with @west2eastluxe,” the quarterback wrote. While the newly engaged duo hasn’t commented on their news, their representatives did issue a statement confirming their decision to take the next step in their relationship. “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,” representatives for the couple told People.
According to the New York Post, the duo met on July 4, 2023, at Michael Rubin’s “White Party” and started dating shortly after. A number of the couple’s famous friends, including Yvette Nicole Brown, Gabrielle Union, LaLa Anthony, and Dwayne Wade, were clearly excited about their decision to wed, celebrating the news on Instagram. “Congratulations 😭🤍,” Coco Gauff commented on the singer’s Instagram post. “makes me the happiest😍😍😍😍😍,” added Chloe Bailey.
When it comes to the Grammy winner’s new ring, the photo quality makes it difficult to determine all of the details of the sparkler. “However, based on what’s visible, the ring appears to feature a high-quality five-carat cushion-cut diamond flanked by two pear-cut side stones,” says Benjamin Khordipour at Estate Diamond Jewelry. “All three diamonds are prong-set, allowing maximum light to enhance their brilliance. The estimated value of the ring is approximately $360,000.”

Since they started dating, the couple has kept their relationship relatively private. “I’m happy, and that’s all I got to say about it,” Jones said on The Breakfast Club in April of this year. However, just a month later, at the 2025 Met Gala, she embraced a bridal-inspired look, potentially foreshadowing the duo’s engagement. For the event, the singer donned a two-piece ensemble that featured a long train, embroidered flowers, and hundreds of pearls. She accessorized her look with simple stud earrings and white heels.
