Congratulations are in order for Coco Jones and Donovan Mitchell as the couple announced today (July 11) they are officially engaged.
Although both of their fanbases have speculated they have been dating for well over a year, neither of them ever publicly confirmed they were an item. The hard launch of the year was a success, as the first time they posted a photo together on social media included a rock on Jones’ ring finger.
Both parties posted the same photo on their respective pages showing them sharing a kiss as the sun beamed behind them. The attention is directed towards Coco’s hand on Mitchell’s chest, with her new diamond ring shining.
The R&B songstress didn’t include a caption but did pair the post with her love song “You,” which is a Mitchell-inspired single from her debut album Why Not More? The Cleveland Cavaliers player followed suit on his page and also added a video of the intimate moment in a second slide. The two were surrounded by a luxurious pool, palm trees, and an ocean view as the star athlete knelt and popped the question. See the moment below.
As VIBE’s June 2025 cover star, Coco Jones spoke about why she was committed to keeping her high-profile relationship private. The “ICU” singer prioritized her peace above all, recognizing that keeping her love life to herself — amid sharing so much of her journey with the public throughout her life — was her way of making sure it stays special and sacred.
“I really think my brain is like, ‘No.’ I feel like it’s my version of rebellion and control. Y’all don’t get this, this is my thing,” she said during the interview. “I gave y’all every freaking thing and more, and this is mine. So in a way, it’s like, ‘No, I don’t want to share. I don’t have to. That’s not part of the job.’ I feel like if everything was exploited, I would go insane because there would be nothing left.”
In addition to saying “yes” to her future husband, the Let It Shine star has had a monumental year on the music front. She released her long-awaited debut album Why Not More? on April 25, 2025, which features singles like “Taste” and “Here We Go (Uh Oh)” and guest appearances from YG Marley, Future, and London On Da Track.
