The Confirmed Engagement: How Donovan Mitchell Proposed
The engagement of Coco Jones and Donovan Mitchell was one of the most talked-about celebrity announcements of 2025. The couple, who began dating in 2023, managed to keep their relationship largely out of the spotlight before confirming their romance in March 2025.
The proposal itself was revealed in July 2025. Details emerged that the Cleveland Cavaliers star proposed to the Grammy winner while the two were on a private, sun-kissed vacation.
The announcement was made official through a joint Instagram post that featured a beautiful photo of the pair kissing against a scenic backdrop, with Coco's left hand prominently displaying her new diamond ring.
In a joint statement, representatives for the couple confirmed the news to the press: "After an amazing season and a sold-out tour, Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones are thrilled to announce their engagement."
Mitchell, who is known as "Spida" in the NBA, is a four-time All-Star and one of the league's most dynamic players. His public affection for Jones has been evident, with the athlete stating that she "brings me peace" following the engagement announcement.
The Dazzling Diamond: Details of Coco Jones' Engagement Ring
The moment the joint announcement was posted, the focus immediately shifted to the spectacular piece of jewelry adorning Coco Jones’ hand. Donovan Mitchell certainly did not hold back, proposing with what sources describe as a "massive" and "dazzling" diamond engagement ring.
While the exact carat weight and cut have not been officially disclosed, the ring appears to be a large, brilliant-cut diamond set on a delicate band, designed for maximum sparkle and visibility. The size and clarity suggest a significant investment, befitting the high-profile nature of the couple.
Coco Jones gave fans a closer look at the stunning piece in a new video campaign for the skincare brand Laneige, where the ring was prominently displayed. This subtle, yet public, flashing of the diamond confirmed its breathtaking size and design, igniting further discussion across social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
The choice of a classic, yet substantial, diamond reflects a timeless elegance, perfectly complementing Jones' sophisticated personal style and her rising status as a fashion icon, often seen gracing red carpets and magazine covers. The ring is more than just jewelry; it is a symbol of the merging of two powerful career trajectories.
What’s Next: Wedding Plans and The Future of the Power Couple
With the engagement confirmed in the summer of 2025, fans are now eagerly awaiting details about the wedding. As of late December 2025, the couple has been understandably tight-lipped about their specific wedding plans, focusing instead on enjoying their engagement period and their demanding professional schedules.
However, given Coco Jones’ background in the entertainment industry and Donovan Mitchell’s status in the NBA, their wedding is anticipated to be a star-studded, lavish affair. Potential wedding themes could range from a grand, celebrity-filled event in a major US city to a more intimate, destination wedding, possibly inspired by the sun-kissed backdrop of their proposal vacation.
The wedding is expected to take place sometime in late 2026, allowing Jones time to manage her filming schedule for *Bel-Air* and her recording commitments with Def Jam, and for Mitchell to navigate the NBA season.
The union of the two stars creates a powerful celebrity brand. Jones, with her Grammy-winning music career and her role as a prominent actress, and Mitchell, as one of the NBA’s most recognizable faces, are poised to become one of the most influential couples in the entertainment and sports worlds. Their journey from a private, two-year romance to a high-profile engagement serves as a refreshing story of love found amidst the chaos of immense fame.
As the couple moves forward, fans can expect more glimpses into their life together, from the stunning wedding planning to their continued success in their respective careers. For now, Coco Jones is enjoying her role as a future NBA wife, proudly flashing her massive diamond and celebrating this new, exciting chapter in her life.
