“Me and Jordyn met years ago knowing common people and just became friends,” Towns explained on Woods’ Instagram series Regular-ish in 2021. “And ever since then, our relationship grew where we became more than friends. I’m not saying [it] in that way, but just best friends. And then we started having a deeper relationship.”
He added: “It just so happened, COVID came and kind of brought its challenges and it kind of forced us to either pick where our relationship was going to go as friends or something more. And we chose the latter.”

In one photo posted to Instagram, Woods showed off a massive diamond on her ring finger.
Prior to that, she spoke about the pressure of getting engaged.
"Something that I see on social media now is, like, 'Okay where's the ring? Where's the engagement?' Like, every time I post, everyone's like, 'Well you should leave him. He's not going to do it now,'" Woods said. "I'm 26...I'm not saying I don't want it – I would be happy whenever the time comes. But I'm not going to leave someone 'cause it's not here when you want it to be here."
Woods recently spoke about their relationship on The Tamron Hall Show and how it’s only gotten better with time.
“I’m with my best friend, so it’s like we get to do life together every single day,” she said. “We were friends for years before we got together, so for me it was never like, ‘OMG, I just met this guy.’”
Jordyn Woods recently spoke about their relationship blossoming.
Woods said they both bonded over prior trauma.
“He went through a lot in his life,” she said. “I lost my dad when I was 18 and, so through what I went through, I was able to be a different type of support system and that was what really blossomed our relationship.”
