Jordyn Woods, model, entrepreneur, and girlfriend of basketball star Karl-Anthony Towns, recently took to Instagram to share a nostalgic look back at last year’s Thanksgiving celebrations. As she spent this year’s holiday as a “proud guest” at her mother’s home, Woods reminisced about her first experience hosting Thanksgiving dinner in Minnesota.
It’s crazy that last Thanksgiving we were in Minnesota and I cooked dinner for everyone for the first time 🥲 this year I am a proud guest at my mom’s sorry for making you do all the work mom but I needed a break and a proper kitchen,
Woods humorously shared on her Instagram story.
Transitioning Traditions: Towns’ New Chapter
The holiday season brings not just a change in festivities for Woods and Towns but also marks a significant transition in Towns’ professional life. Karl-Anthony Towns, formerly a cornerstone for the Minnesota Timberwolves, is celebrating his first Thanksgiving since his high-profile trade to the New York Knicks. This shift came after a memorable nine-year tenure with the Timberwolves, who picked him first overall in the 2015 NBA Draft.
Gratitude on and off the Court
On Thanksgiving Day, Karl-Anthony Towns expressed his gratitude through an Instagram post that featured moments with his father, Karl Towns Sr., and Jordyn Woods. The post included a snapshot at the entrance of an airplane and continued with images of him donning the New York Knicks jersey. Towns kept his message simple and heartfelt, captioning the post with a single word,
Thankful.
Woods echoed this sentiment on her Instagram story, adding,
Thankful for you my love,
signifying the deep bond between the couple.
