‘Is That an Engagement Ring?’: Jordyn Woods’ Glam Post Gets Sidetracked After Fans Spot a Huge Diamond on Her Ring Finger

Jordyn Woods’ glam photo shoot took a (perhaps) unexpected turn after the influencer sparked engagement rumors on March 25 when fans pointed out the huge diamond rock on her ring finger that stood out as Woods was being photographed in front of a life-size Air Jordan shoe. Woods, who also rocked her new blond hairdo, initially captioned the upload “Heir Jordyn with a giant air Jordan💋.”

Her boyfriend, Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns, jokingly commented about the shoe underneath her post, “Knew I was missing a shoe….” Woods replied that she was “keeping it safe” for him. Many fans overlooked the entirety of the post and questioned Woods on the ring.

While people asked the model about her current relationship status, others suggested that Towns gave Woods a ring because of some recent cheating rumors. One wrote, “he probably gave her a ring cause he really cheated 😫.”

Another said, “First comes cheating, then comes marriage 🥴.”

An Instagram user brought up Towns’ comment about how the couple will have the same trolls hating on them when he puts a ring on Woods’ finger. “He will marry [her.]He said he was goin to put a ring on it, and after the cheating rumors, seems on time and right!👏🏾.”

Earlier this month, Woods and Towns disputed allegations that the basketball player stepped out on their relationship after gossip site Gossip Of The City shared a story of Towns exchanging messages with a mystery woman. Upon hearing the news, the 23-year-old took to Twitter to defend her man and to deny the rumors. She said, “So crazy how someone can make fake screenshots and send it to blogs and y’all believe it.”

Woods added, “I normally don’t address anything but what you’re not gonna do is play with my man’s character. And to the person who started this rumor… WE SEEE YOU SIS.. since you wanna be seen SO BAD. God see you too. … He don’t even talk like that.”

Towns also denied the rumors and wrote on his respective Twitter page, “So I got the baddest girl in the game and you think I’m gonna waste my energy with anyone else gtfoh! Same haters we got now are gonna be the same ones we have when I put that ring on her finger.”

The couple made their relationship social media official last year following Woods’ 23rd birthday.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
