Coco Jones is glowing, and this time, it’s not just the stage lights. The Grammy-winning R&B singer is officially engaged to Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell, sealing one of the industry’s most quietly talked-about romances with a sparkling ring and a sun-drenched Instagram reveal. The announcement came wrapped in arms, sunlight, and the sound of her own song, “You.”
The couple’s photo—posted jointly—radiated the kind of intimacy that doesn’t need a caption. A clear shot of the ring, paired with the track that already carries emotional weight in her discography, made the moment feel cinematic. It wasn’t just a post; it was a flex of creative and emotional synchronicity.
Behind the scenes, Ciara and Russell Wilson played a subtle but sweet supporting role in the engagement. “Ciara and I are so happy for you love birds,” Wilson shared in an Instagram story, confirming they were part of the planning with Mitchell and West2East – Luxury.
Jones first hinted at the relationship publicly back in February on Club Shay Shay. When asked about the swirling rumors by host Shannon Sharpe, she didn’t deny anything. “I love the internet because they definitely clocked my tea… But you know what, I’m happy,” she said, before steering the conversation back toward her music — where she’s always been most comfortable expressing the parts of her life she chooses to share.
By April, during her Why Not More? press run, she gave a little more: “I’m happy — and that’s all I’m going to say about it. People already know. Y’all know.” And we did.
Why Not More?, her debut full-length released via High Standardz/Def Jam, has been a major step in her artistic evolution, with hits like “Here We Go (Uh Oh)” and “You” solidifying her place in contemporary R&B. Now, the song that once hinted at vulnerability and longing has turned into the soundtrack of her real-life commitment.
