From his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves to his trade to the New York Knicks, Woods has been by his side, and the two have become one of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-athletes/?swcfpc=1″>sports’ most recognizable couples</a>. But their relationship began long before they became romantically involved. </p>
<p id=”par-2_57″>The <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/sports/?swcfpc=1″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>NBA</a> star and the influencer met through mutual friends years before they started dating. Both have said that they were friends for a long time before their relationship evolved into something more. Towns later explained that there wasn’t a romantic connection initially; instead, they built a genuine friendship that eventually became the foundation of their romance.</p>
<p id=”par-3_62″>And according to Woods, the transition from friendship to dating felt natural because they already knew each other so well. She noted that they connected on a deeper level because both had experienced the loss of a parent at a young age. Woods lost her father, John Woods, in 2017, while Towns lost his mother, Jacqueline Cruz-Towns, to COVID-19 in 2020. </p>

<p id=”par-7_20″>Their relationship reached a major milestone on Christmas Day 2025 when Towns proposed to Woods, and she happily accepted. </p>
