Love is in the air — and it comes with a diamond!
Grammy-winning singer Coco Jones and NBA star Donovan Mitchell are officially engaged after two years of quietly dating. The 27-year-old ICU hitmaker and the 28-year-old Cleveland Cavaliers guard shared the joyous news on Instagram, revealing a stunning engagement during a romantic getaway.

A Proposal to Remember
The couple announced their engagement with matching Instagram posts featuring Coco flaunting a sparkling diamond ring. Donovan also uploaded a heartfelt video of the moment he got down on one knee, followed by the pair sharing an emotional embrace.
In a joint statement to PEOPLE, reps for the couple shared:
“After an amazing season and a sold-out tour, Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones took a moment to recharge on vacation, which turned into a beautiful engagement.
The couple has been dating for two years and look forward to building a life together.”

Keeping Love Private
Though they’ve kept their romance low-key, fans have long speculated about their connection. Coco addressed the speculation earlier this year on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast:
“I love the internet because they definitely clocked my tea… But you know what, I’m happy.”
She emphasized the importance of privacy, adding:
“I don’t want to ever feel like I have to be somebody’s secret… I’m trying to protect myself, and I’m trying to protect my family and whoever I love.”
And during an April visit to The Breakfast Club, she kept it simple:
“I’m happy, and that’s all I got to say about it.”
What’s Next for the Power Couple?
While no wedding date has been shared yet, Coco and Donovan’s engagement comes after a whirlwind year — she won her first Grammy earlier this year for Best R&B Performance, and he helped lead the Cavaliers deep into the playoffs.
Now, with music, basketball, and love on their side, this duo is stepping into a new chapter — together.
Congratulations to Coco Jones and Donovan Mitchell!
