From there, the coupled continued their romance when they were spotted at an Usher concert in Las Vegas in September 2024.

Jones opened up about their fans and followers tracking the state of the relationship during an interview on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast in the winter of 2025. She said, "I love the internet because they definitely clocked my tea. I love that. Little spies everywhere... feel like I'm in a detective movie."

She added, "But you know what? I'm happy. I don't want to ever feel like I have to be somebody's secret... I think, for me, I'm trying to protect myself, and I'm trying to protect my family and whoever I love. So, yeah, I am more private."

Coco Jones Says Donovan Mitchell is Her 'Biggest Cheerleader' in Life

The couple officially announced their engagement in July of last year. One thing that makes this relationship so successful is that they understand each other's demanding careers and support each other.

"We both go really hard for the things we love, and they're demanding careers," Jones told People magazine in January. "I feel like we speak a different language that makes me really feel seen. And he's my biggest cheerleader, so I feel like I'm never able to doubt myself in his presence. It’s just not going down like that."
