Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones Celebrate Black Love with Intimate Engagement Planned by Ciara and Russell Wilson.
NBA star Donovan Mitchell and R&B singer Coco Jones are officially engaged, marking a milestone in their love story that centers around Black joy, healthy love and legacy.
The couple announced their engagement on July 11, 2025, with a heartfelt joint Instagram post featuring a glowing photo of the two with Jones smiling with her engagement ring on full display.
The post quickly garnered attention, with fans and fellow celebrities flooding the comments with love and congratulations.
The surprise proposal took place at a private tropical resort, with sweeping ocean views and palm trees setting the scene. Captured by drone footage, Mitchell is seen getting down on one knee by a serene poolside, as the waves crash in the distance—a cinematic backdrop for an unforgettable moment.
Helping to make the day even more special were longtime friends Ciara and Russell Wilson, who played a key role in coordinating the surprise. In an Instagram Story, Mitchell and Jones shared their gratitude, noting that the Wilsons assisted in planning the intimate and meaningful event.
The collaboration between the couples not only highlighted friendship but also the power of community and intentional Black love.
Mitchell and Jones reportedly began dating in early 2024, but kept their relationship largely under wraps. Fans began to speculate after Jones was seen courtside at a Cleveland Cavaliers game, followed by the two being spotted together holding hands at an Usher concert that summer.
Jones officially confirmed their relationship during a March 2025 appearance on Club Shay Shay, choosing to share their love on their own terms.
Their engagement adds to a growing legacy of high-profile Black couples who embody love that is intentional, supportive and rooted in shared values.
In an industry where public relations often becomes spectacle, Mitchell and Jones have chosen to protect their bond, only sharing moments when they feel ready.
Their story is a reflection of a modern era of Black love, grounded in faith, family and authenticity. In celebrating their engagement, they’re not only stepping into a new chapter together but also reaffirming the beauty and power of what it means to love freely, fully and fearlessly.
As their journey continues, Mitchell and Jones stand as a reminder that Black love is not just beautiful, it’s timeless, intentional and worthy of celebration.
