Jordyn Woods has opened up about her relationship with NBA player Karl-Anthony Towns.
Woods spoke about their relationship on The Tamron Hall Show and how it’s blossomed over the last five years.
“I’m with my best friend, so it’s like we get to do life together every single day,” she said. “We were friends for years before we got together, so for me it was never like, ‘OMG, I just met this guy.’”
Woods explained how trauma in their lives brought them together.
“He went through a lot in his life,” she said. “I lost my dad when I was 18 and, so through what I went through, I was able to be a different type of support system and that was what really blossomed our relationship.”
When asked what Towns loves most about her, Woods revealed that it would be “my sense of humor and my resilience.”
“I could say the same thing about him,” she continued. “He’s like a big kid and sometimes it’s a lot, but he really keeps things exciting.”
Last October, Woods sparked speculation that the two were engaged when she posted a mirror selfie with a massive diamond ring on her finger.
A month before that, she spoke about the pressure for them to get engaged that she receives online while on the CultureCon Uncut podcast.
"Something that I see on social media now is, like, 'Okay where's the ring? Where's the engagement?' Like, every time I post, everyone's like, 'Well you should leave him. He's not going to do it now,'" Woods said. "I'm 26...I'm not saying I don't want it – I would be happy whenever the time comes. But I'm not going to leave someone 'cause it's not here when you want it to be here."
"I get it, everyone's like [a] social media auntie and cousin and everything," she continued. "I get it, and I want that for myself, too, but it's just the pressure of always, like, 'Okay, now you have a ring. Where's the kid? Where's this?' It's like, whether it's me or the next person, I feel like people put so much pressure on other people's relationships."
