Mitchell shares engagement announcement with Coco Jones

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell, and singer Coco Jones, appeared to confirm their engagement on Friday, July 11, through a series of social media posts. Mitchell published a photo of the two kissing along with a video showing him proposing in what appeared to be a tropical location.

The post offered no formal caption or statement, but the visual cues strongly indicated the couple’s intent. The engagement news follows recent offseason moves by the Cavaliers, including the signings of Lonzo Ball and Larry Nance Jr., as the team continues to reshape its roster after a 64-win campaign.

Mitchell and Jones are believed to have been in a relationship since at least 2024. Media coverage, including an April 2025 feature by Aimee Lutkin for ELLE, has speculated on the timeline of their partnership. During a March interview on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast, Jones responded cautiously when asked about the rumors, stating her preference to “protect my family and who I love.”

Busy year for Mitchell and Jones in respective fields
