The New York Knicks’ NBA Finals run has attracted numerous celebrities to the courtside, including Jordyn Woods, who is engaged to Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns. Woods, often seen with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet, shared her experiences supporting Towns during the Finals.
Engagement and Knicks Fandom
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter ahead of Game 5 against the San Antonio Spurs, Woods reflected on her relationship with Towns and the Knicks' influence on New Yorkers. Towns proposed to Woods on Christmas Eve, and she described her engagement period as her ‘wedding era’.
Partnership with Reese’s x Oreo
Woods’ collaboration with Reese’s x Oreo is a nod to the city’s orange and blue spirit. “Growing up, my favorite was Reese’s. It felt serendipitous that it was Reese’s x Oreo, orange and blue,” she said.
Game-Day Rituals and Lucky Purse
Woods’ game-day fashion, especially her orange purse, has become a fan favorite. “The whole thing was a superstition for me. It just happened,” she explained. Her bag is now seen as a good-luck charm at Knicks games. Towns supports the phenomenon, being Woods’ “No. 1 support.”
Madison Square Garden Atmosphere
Woods described the Finals atmosphere at Madison Square Garden as electric, especially after OG Anunoby’s game-changing shot in Game 4. “The floor was actually vibrating,” she recalled.
The Knicks' success has united New Yorkers, with Woods noting, “The city is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. No shame, everyone’s cheering. Crime’s down, the economy is booming.”
Future Plans
Regarding potential celebrations if the Knicks win, Woods revealed they are taking it day by day. “We’re just thinking game by game. I am in my bridal era, so we have a lot to look forward to,” she stated.
Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals airs at 5:30 p.m. PT/8:30 p.m. ET on ABC. For more on celebrities at Knicks vs. Spurs games, see The Hollywood Reporter.
