By now, you’ve likely heard that Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell got engaged recently to Grammy award-winning R&B singer Coco Jones. Their news follows months of intense speculation about their relationship, which first started circulating in September 2024. The couple were first seen publicly back in July during an Usher concert in Las Vegas while holding hands. It provided fans a hopeful look into their growing romance.
Shortly after the Cavaliers were booted from the playoffs, Mitchell released a statement saying he would be stepping away from basketball. He joked that he was taking “good music” on “tour.” During the 2024-25 NBA season, he notably averaged 24.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game, helping lead the Cavaliers to an impressive 64-18 record—the best in the Eastern Conference.
So when in February, Coco Jones announced that they were dating, it was music to the couple’s fans and followers. Mitchell pulled Jones on tour with him, their chemistry and friendship quickly deepening. With every appearance they made side-by-side at campaign-related events, enthusiasm for their partnership only intensified.
Mitchell announced the fantastic news on social media. He uploaded an emotional Instagram photo of the pair, which was shared alongside a clip of him filming himself getting down on one knee to pop the question to Jones. The whole moment was punctuated by Jones’ song You, giving an extra personal flair to the announcement.

Mitchell’s trailblazing athletic career and Jones’ skyrocketing star power in the music industry combined to catapult them into Olympic nomination fame. Today, they remain an iconic duo in both the sporting and show business worlds.
It’s the beginning of an exciting new chapter for both Mitchell and Jones, together. Fans and followers alike can hardly wait to see what this duo has up their sleeve next!
