Grammy-winning R&B singer Coco Jones and Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell officially married in a stunning ceremony on August 1, 2026. Surrounded by family, friends, and high-profile guests including Ciara and Russell Wilson, the high-profile power couple celebrated their wedding following an engagement in July 2025.
The sports and entertainment worlds have a new power couple as Grammy-winning R&B singer Coco Jones and Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Donovan Mitchell officially tied the knot. The wedding ceremony took place on Saturday, August 1, 2026, bringing together closest family members and friends for an unforgettable celebration in front of their guests.
Star-Studded Guest List and Wedding Reception Highlights
The celebration drew a heavy turnout of A-listers from both professional basketball and entertainment circles. Among the attendees spotted at the venue were NBA standouts Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson, and Bam Adebayo, alongside retired quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife, Ciara.
Visuals from the event quickly made waves across social media platforms. Footage shared by former basketball player Troy Payne captured the newlyweds sharing their first dance inside a tent draped in cream fabric with hanging florals as guests cheered them on. Fans also obsessed over a widely shared video of the couple swaying to Musiq Soulchild’s “Love” during the reception.
Jones stole the spotlight in a striking reception gown paired with a flowing veil, while Mitchell wore a sharp cream-colored tuxedo.
From a 2023 Creative Network to a Summer Wedding
The wedding marks a major milestone for a relationship that has largely unfolded away from the public eye. After keeping their romance private for a long period, the pair had been dating since at least early 2025.
Mitchell proposed to Jones on July 11, 2025, by a pool surrounded by palm trees, following a vacation intended to help them recharge after his basketball season and her sold-out tour. The couple formally announced their engagement through dual Instagram posts the very same day.
A Whirlwind Summer of Career Milestones and Forever Commitments
The wedding caps off an exceptionally busy and lucrative stretch for Mitchell. Just weeks prior to the ceremony, the six-time NBA All-Star signed a reported $273 million contract extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers that secures his spot with the franchise through 2031.
“I think about my life so much like business, and I’m like, ‘Girl, you got to stop. This is the biggest contract I’ve ever signed,’ This is a real-life, forever commitment.”

Jones reflected on the magnitude of the commitment during an interview following their engagement announcement. She also opened up about mutual support within their high-powered careers.
“We both go really hard for the things we love, and they’re demanding careers, I feel like we speak a different language that makes me really feel seen. And he’s my biggest cheerleader, so I feel like I’m never able to doubt myself in his presence.”
