Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones' relationship timeline

Despite the constant rumors of them dating, both Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones never confirmed their relationship. Jones had previously appeared on "The Breakfast Club" show in April earlier this year. When asked about her relationship with the NBA star, she just said that she was "happy."

Last year, when she appeared on Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast, she again ducked the question, saying that she felt like she was in a "detective movie" and there were "little spies everywhere."

However, after the engagement, representatives of the couple revealed that they had been dating for three years.

"After an amazing season and a sold-out tour, Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones took a moment to recharge on vacation, which turned it into a beautiful engagement," the representatives told People in a joint statement. "The couple has been dating for two years and look forward to building a life together."

After a successful season with his team, Donovan Mitchell deserved this moment in his life and perhaps some extended time with his soon-to-be wife.
