Cavs star Donovan Mitchell’s 2-word reaction to big claim about Coco Jones

Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell has proposed to recording artist Coco Jones. Jones announced their engagement on Instagram Friday, sharing a sweet photo taken after Mitchell's sunset proposal at a resort.

The announcement post quickly received congratulatory messages from numerous athletes and celebrities, including Boston Celtics' Jaylen Brown, Chicago Sky's Angel Reese, singer Ciara, and rapper Lady London. Fans expressed excitement about this next step in their relationship, which reportedly began two years ago; one fan's tweet praising Jones' appearance prompted a brief "I swear" response from Mitchell.

Mitchell, 28, and Jones, 27, had largely kept their romance private before the engagement. Earlier this year, the Grammy Award-winning Jones emphasized valuing her privacy on the "Club Shay Shay" podcast, stating she uses music to tell her stories but keeps some personal aspects private to protect herself, her family, and loved ones.

The coming months will be busy for Mitchell, coinciding with the new NBA season, as he helps his fiancée with wedding preparations. The article suggests Mitchell will likely play "even more inspired basketball" in the upcoming campaign as the Cavaliers aim to recover from their previous playoff exit.
