Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns carried a piece of New York with them in their nuptials.

The couple, who became lawfully wedded husband and wife, added a fun twist to their ceremony with a trendy choice of afterparty outfits that paid homage to the basketballer’s latest career highlight.

Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns began dating in 2020 and became one of Hollywood’s most loved couples, a momentum sustained through their engagement late last year.

The lovebirds exchanged their vows in front of their family and friends on Saturday in Malibu, California, and their outfits did absolute justice. Woods exuded Hollywood glamor in a strapless sweetheart neckline with a fitted bodice and draped, lengthy skirt all made in a silky, shiny fabric.

The influencer paired her timeless dress with a classy lace scarf around her neck, which flowed down her back and matched the elegance of her floor-length veil tucked inside her sleek bun. Towns opted for a classic black tuxedo and two brooches, coordinating with their guests who were reportedly dressed in all black.

The afterparty was where the most fun was at, as Page Six reported that guests wore black hoodies embossed with the phrase “married in 5.” The phrase was a reference to the New York Knicks dealing the San Antonio Spurs a deafening defeat in Game 5 of the NBA Finals to clinch the championship earlier in the summer.

Woods and Towns’ wedding featured a rich celebrity guest list including Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Teyana Taylor, Jada Pinkett Smith, Michael B. Jordan, Gayle King, Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and “Love Island USA” alum Leah Kateb.

The celebrity duo announced their engagement last December with a romantic Instagram post alongside several slides of Towns being a gentleman on his knees with a breathtaking view of New York as the backdrop. As noted by PEOPLE, Woods and Towns began dating in 2020 after several years of friendship, which provided a strong base for their relationship.

However, the pandemic, which forced everyone indoors, brought something dynamic to their friendship, according to Towns. “It just so happened that COVID came and kind of brought its challenges, and it kind of forced us to either pick where our relationship was going to go as friends or something more. And we chose the latter,” he explained on Woods’ “Regular-ish” show in 2021.

The couple debuted their relationship on social media four months into the romance in September 2020, sharing pictures from their vacation in Mexico on Woods’ 23rd birthday. From then on, the couple has said amazing things about each other in the media, like Towns crediting Woods for keeping him steady through personal losses, rehab, and the tough times.

In 2021, Woods threw an epic birthday for Towns on his 26th birthday, gifting him a luxury watch. The following year, she was courtside, cheering him on to victory as his team won against the LA Clippers on the second anniversary of his mother’s death.

In 2022, the couple took a trip to the White House to watch President Joe Biden sign an executive order on police reform during the second anniversary of George Floyd’s death. Sharing several pictures of them posing together with Biden and other dignitaries, Woods detailed some information about their visit in the caption.

She explained that Towns does numerous things for social justice behind the scenes when he is off the court. Woods noted that he has done a lot for his community where he plays basketball in Minnesota at the time, which was also where the Floyd incident took place. 

The reality star urged the fans to expect more from their stables as they are working on several initiatives behind the scenes to make the world a better place for youths and their peers. In 2023, Towns spoke about the attention dating Woods has brought into his life and how it has also propelled him to become a more positive role model that people watched on TV or admired.

Woods proudly celebrated Towns and the Knicks after their championship victory in June 2026, sharing an emotional Instagram tribute to the team. She applauded the players not just for their skill, but their character and commitment to the team during the season.

As noted by The Blast, she reserved a special message for Towns, applauding the humility, faith and perseverance he maintained through the highs and lows of his NBA journey. Woods described him as someone driven by hard work and gratitude rather than ego, while expressing how proud she was of everything he had accomplished.

Towns later reflected on the championship during an appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” emphasizing how dramatically the victory brought New Yorkers together. The NBA star joked that the Knicks’ championship fever even reached Brooklyn, home of their crosstown rivals, the Nets. 

For Towns, seeing people across all five boroughs rally behind the Knicks demonstrated just how powerful the city’s passion for the team had become.

Knicks’ journey towards victory was not an easy one, as it demanded significant personal sacrifice from the players, as revealed by Towns and his teammates.

As reported by The Blast, Knicks stars Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart revealed that team owner James Dolan floated an unusual idea to give the players a competitive advantage: abstaining from sex for 10 weeks.

Dolan reportedly compared the sacrifice to the discipline practiced by Spartan warriors, as Towns joked that the suggestion did not exactly go over well at home. The NBA star disclosed that  Woods was less than thrilled when he told her about Dolan’s proposed sacrifice, joking that he was, after all, a happily engaged man.

Following the Knicks’ championship victory, Towns spoke warmly about Woods and expressed confidence that he had chosen the right person to spend his life with. He credited their relationship as an important part of his journey. 

Congratulations to Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns!
