Coco Jones and Donovan Mitchell Just Got Engaged and We’re Obsessed!

If “soft launch goals” was a couple, it would absolutely be Coco Jones and Donovan Mitchell. For the longest time, these two kept their love tucked away from the internet’s curious eyes. No Instagram hard launches, no couple selfies at the game, nada. But baby, when they did go public? They did it in style. We’re talking about a cinematic oceanfront proposal, diamond ring sparkle brighter than the sunset, and hearts across the internet bursting with joy.

Let’s get into it, because this engagement isn’t just a moment, it’s a movie.

A Sunset, A Yes, and A Rom-Com Worthy Kiss 💍

It all went down on Friday, July 11, when Coco and Donovan dropped the news we didn’t know we needed but now can’t stop rewatching. Coco shared a dreamy photo of them kissing at what looks like paradise. Think: glowing sunset, island vibes, and that kind of lighting that only happens when the universe is rooting for your love story.

Her hand? Draped over his chest. The ring? Giving sparkle, giving elegance, giving “yes, I will!” Donovan, not one to be outdone, posted a stunning drone video capturing the exact moment he dropped to one knee, poolside, palm trees swaying, tropical breeze probably humming “ICU” in the background.

Yeah, we watched it on loop. Don’t judge.

Quiet Love, Loud Moment 💕

If you’ve been sleuthing, you might’ve picked up on the hints. Coco’s been asked plenty of times about her love life, especially this past year. And while she didn’t spill much tea, she didn’t exactly shut it down either.

In February, during her appearance on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe, she said:

“I love the internet because they definitely clocked my tea. Little spies everywhere… But you know what, I’m happy… and I will say, my music is the outlet that I use to tell most of my stories and my truth. Some things I keep for myself because this is my life, too.”

That quote alone had us wondering who the lucky man was. Now we know — and whew, was it worth the wait!

Two Years of Keeping It Cute (and Private)

Despite being in the public eye, Coco and Donovan kept their relationship real lowkey for two whole years. No red carpet PDA, no flirty Instagram comments (well… barely), and definitely no “bae reveal” posts.

Coco made it clear: privacy wasn’t secrecy, it was protection. In her own words:

“I don’t want to ever feel like I have to be somebody’s secret. I’m trying to protect my family and who I love.”

We get it, queen. And now that they’ve let us in, we’re swooning hard.

Celebrity Friends = OBSESSED ✨

If there’s one thing the culture will do, it’s show up for Black love. Stars like Ciara and Russell Wilson, Chloe Bailey, Coco Gauff, and Angel Reese were all in the comments gassing them up.

From “LOOK AT THIS LOVE!” to “THIS IS WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF!”, the vibe was pure support and celebration.

Even Instagram couldn’t handle it — the likes and shares were wild.

The Careers? Equally on Fire

Let’s talk credentials because these two are not just a pretty couple, they’re powerhouses.

Coco Jones has been riding a career high since 2022, when her hit single ICU went platinum and earned her a Grammy for Best R&B Performance. Add in a BET Award, an NAACP Image Award, and her role on Bel-Air? Sis is booked, busy, and beloved.

And Donovan Mitchell? Known as “Spida” on the court, the Cleveland Cavaliers star is a six-time NBA All-Star and was just named to the All-NBA First Team. He helped lead the Cavs to the best record in the Eastern Conference in 2025. Elite both on and off the court.

While they may have played it coy for two years, their engagement announcement was anything but subtle and honestly? We’re here for this kind of softness. From a “quiet luxury” romance to a proposal that felt like a scene from a Nicholas Sparks novel, they’ve proven that love doesn’t need to be loud to be iconic, but it sure doesn’t hurt when the reveal is this good.

So, What’s Next?

Wedding bells? A duet? Courtside kisses and Grammy date nights? We’re ready for it all.

One thing is certain: Coco and Donovan just unlocked a new level of couple goals, and we’ll be watching every glorious chapter they share next.
