‘The light of my life’

Jordyn Woods celebrated boyfriend Karl-Anthony Towns’ 29th birthday with a heartfelt Instagram post on Friday, November 15.

The couple commemorated the event by having dinner together the night before. The model, 27, posted a video to her Instagram Stories of the NBA player, nicknamed KAT, smiling with his eyes closed as he made a birthday wish. Drake’s song “Ratchet Happy Birthday” played in the background.

Woods captioned the photo with “candles at 12 o’clock,” seemingly counting down to his official birthday.

The model posted three more photos of her and the Knicks player over the years. Another captioned it: “Here’s to you @karltowns another 365.”

The socialite also shared a slideshow of the couple lovingly embracing.

“Happy birthday to the light of my life ❤️ I couldn’t imagine doing this with anyone else,” Woods wrote.

Towns reposted two photos of his model girlfriend to his own Instagram Stories in honor of his 29th birthday.

Woods and Towns started dating in May 2020 after years of building a foundation as close friends.

“I think it’s pretty cool to date your best friend,” Woods said on her Instagram series Regular-ish. “We know each other. We know each other’s hearts. We know each other on good days and bad days and we’ve been through a lot of bad days together.”

The basketball star even shared his first kiss with Woods as recently as 2020. “There was never a kiss or anything,” he revealed.
