CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell is engaged to Grammy-winning R&B singer Coco Jones, the NBA star revealed Friday in an Instagram post that captured the romantic moment.
Mitchell shared both a photo of the couple together and a video showing him down on one knee proposing to Jones, with her song “You” playing in the background. Jones also posted a photo of the couple on her own social media account to mark the occasion.
The announcement drew congratulations from several notable figures, including WNBA legend Candace Parker and R&B singer Ella Mai, who is dating Boston Celtics guard Jayson Tatum.
Jones had confirmed their relationship in February, though rumors about the couple began circulating months earlier in September 2024 when they were spotted holding hands at an Usher concert in Las Vegas.
Mitchell, who averaged 24.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists in the 2024-25 season, helped lead the Cavaliers to an impressive 64-18 record, the best in the Eastern Conference. After Cleveland’s playoff elimination, Mitchell mentioned he would be “going on tour” with “good music” – possibly hinting at joining Jones on tour for her debut studio album.
