Jordyn Woods is one of the most beloved WAGs of the New York Knicks and is arguably an unsung hero of the team.
Though she never technically steps onto the court, Woods is proving to be a breakout star of the 2026 NBA Finals for her superstitious fashion choices, her heartwarming energy, and her unwavering, resilient support for her fiancé, Knicks center-forward Karl-Anthony Towns.
Fashion
The socialite, model, and fashion designer is known for her game day looks, which are usually put together with custom, detail-oriented gear. Since the playoffs began back in April, Woods has been outspoken about her “ritualistic” dressing — specifically with her “lucky” accessory, the orange handbag she designed specifically for the playoffs.
“I have my lucky Woods by Jordyn bag, my game-day GRWMs on TikTok, and a watch I refuse to take off,” Woods told Vogue in May. “At this point, I'm not risking changing anything."
Eerily enough, the Knicks’ 12-game winning streak ended during Game 3 of the NBA Finals — the one game that mandated a no-bag policy at Madison Square Garden due to President Donald Trump’s attendance and blocked Woods from bringing her lucky purse. Spooky!
Love Story
Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns started dating in 2020 after meeting through mutual friends and had maintained a close friendship for many years. Woods and Towns have often spoken about how they “evolved” together and anchored each other through difficult times: Woods lost her father to cancer in 2017, and Towns lost his mother to COVID-19 complications in 2020. At the time of these monumental losses, Woods and Towns were 19 and 24 years old, respectively.
“The right person will bring a lot out of you,” Woods told Extra the year the couple started dating. “Naturally, we both connected about losing a parent at a very young age… so it was a very organic relationship.”
"A woman that meant so much to me in my life left my life, to be replaced by another woman who took that spot," Towns said about the loss of his mom and his “boundless” love for Woods on Taraji P. Henson’s talk show in 2021.
On Christmas Day 2025, the couple officially announced their engagement.
Energy
Woods is faithfully a courtside fixture at KAT’s games, and always sits with his dad, Karl Towns Sr. — even though she can now bond over the Knicks with her childhood friend Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend, lifelong Knicks fan Timothée Chalamet. It’s her commitment to supporting KAT alongside his family that makes her support even more significant. Like Woods always says about her fiancé’s success: “It’s deeper than basketball.”
