During a Minnesota Timberwolves game against the Denver Nuggets at the Target Center on Sunday, Jordyn Woods, the girlfriend of Karl-Anthony Towns, made a heartfelt tribute that caught everyone’s attention.
On Mother’s Day, Woods wore a Timberwolves jersey with the name “Jackie” on the back, in honor of Towns’ late mother, Jacquelin Cruz.
This gesture, symbolizing deep respect and love, quickly captured the hearts of fans and went viral.
Although the game ended with the Nuggets tying the series, Woods’ thoughtful act provided Towns with a significant emotional lift during a challenging day.
Since the passing of his mother from complications related to COVID-19, Woods has been a crucial support for Towns. The couple, who met in 2020 through a mutual acquaintance during a particularly tough period for Towns, has grown close over the years.
Karl-Anthony Towns has openly expressed his appreciation for Woods’ support, especially during tough times. In an episode of “Peace Of Mind With Taraji,” Towns reflected on the impact of losing his mother and finding support in Woods, suggesting a sense of predestined companionship facilitated by his mother’s spirit.
Woods’ support has been consistent and profound, including memorable gestures like gifting Towns a portrait of his mother on the first anniversary of her passing, which he proudly shared. This latest tribute at the game serves as a reminder of the strong bond and mutual support that continues to define their relationship.
