Coco Jones and Donovan Mitchell are officially husband and wife. The Grammy-winning singer and Cleveland Cavaliers star married on August 1, 2026, in an intimate celebration in Greenwich, Connecticut, bringing together friends, family and a notable mix of entertainment and NBA stars.
The wedding capped a relationship that the couple largely kept away from the spotlight before announcing their engagement in 2025. Their big day combined fashion, music, food and family traditions, with Jones making one especially meaningful choice: her wedding wardrobe featured designs from Black creatives.
The Big Day
Jones and Mitchell exchanged vows on August 1 in Connecticut surrounded by people close to them.
Although both are accustomed to major public attention, their wedding was intentionally intimate. The guest list nevertheless included some of their famous friends, including Ciara and Russell Wilson, along with NBA players Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson and Bam Adebayo.
The celebration gave the couple a chance to bring together the two worlds they have built their careers in—music and professional basketball.
Coco’s Wedding Look
Fashion was one of the defining elements of the ceremony.
For her walk down the aisle, Jones wore a custom white off-the-shoulder gown featuring a corset-style bodice. She subsequently changed into additional looks for different portions of the celebration, turning her wedding wardrobe into a series of distinct fashion moments.
Her choices also carried a personal message. Jones worked with Black designers for her wedding looks, using the occasion to spotlight creative talent from her own community.
The decision made her bridal fashion more than a matter of aesthetics. Each outfit became part of the singer’s effort to celebrate Black design and craftsmanship on one of the most photographed days of her life.
Three Designers
Jones’ wedding wardrobe extended beyond her ceremony gown.
Her additional looks included designs by Esé Azénabor, Scorcésa and Brandon Blackwood. Each change gave the celebration a different visual mood while maintaining the overall sophistication of the day.
For a performer known for her distinctive style, the multiple outfit changes also felt fitting. Rather than relying on one dress for the entire celebration, Jones treated the wedding as an opportunity to tell a fashion story from ceremony through reception.
The approach gave her several opportunities to celebrate designers whose work aligned with her vision.
A Starry Guest List
The couple’s friends from Hollywood and professional sports were among those celebrating with them.
Ciara and Russell Wilson were present, as were NBA stars Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson and Bam Adebayo. The guest list reflected Mitchell’s close relationships within the league while also highlighting Jones’ connections in the entertainment world.
The presence of so many recognizable names could have made the event feel like a large celebrity spectacle, but reports described the wedding as intimate and centered on the couple’s closest circle.
Their First Dance
Music naturally played a major role.
Jones and Mitchell chose Musiq Soulchild’s 2000 classic “Love” for their first dance. The song provided a romantic soundtrack as the newlyweds shared one of the most anticipated moments of the reception.
Mitchell also joined in on the music later, playfully singing along to Fantasia’s “When I See U.”
The musical choices reflected the couple’s connection to R&B while giving the reception a relaxed, personal quality.
Food With Meaning
The reception also celebrated both sides of the couple’s background.
Mitchell is Panamanian, while Jones was raised in the American South. Rather than choosing a menu based solely on conventional wedding fare, the couple incorporated food stations inspired by their respective cultures and childhood favorites.
That detail gave the reception a distinctly personal touch. Food became another way for the newlyweds to bring their families and histories together rather than simply providing dinner for their guests.
When They Met
Jones and Mitchell’s relationship began in 2023.
The pair first connected in person at Michael Rubin’s annual Fourth of July White Party. Their meeting came after Mitchell had apparently tried to contact Jones through Instagram, although she had not seen his message.
Their first face-to-face encounter eventually developed into a relationship that they largely kept private.
According to accounts of their relationship, the couple valued having time together away from the constant attention that comes with their respective careers. They dated for about two years before Mitchell proposed.
The Proposal
Mitchell proposed to Jones during a vacation in July 2025.
The engagement was subsequently shared publicly, giving fans their first major confirmation that the relationship had moved toward marriage.
Jones later described the engagement as deeply emotional and celebrated Mitchell’s support for her career. The couple’s demanding schedules—her music and acting work and his NBA career—have required them to understand and encourage one another professionally as well as personally.
Married Life Begins
After nearly three years since their first meeting, Jones and Mitchell have now entered married life.
Their honeymoon has already attracted attention, with the couple sharing glimpses of their luxury yacht getaway. They even posted footage of themselves exercising aboard the yacht, giving followers a playful look at their post-wedding routine.
The timing also comes as Mitchell prepares for another NBA season, while Jones continues building her career as a Grammy-winning recording artist and performer.
A Personal Celebration
The Coco Jones and Donovan Mitchell wedding was more than a gathering of famous faces. The couple filled the day with details that reflected who they are—from Jones’ commitment to Black designers to food inspired by their family backgrounds and a first dance rooted in R&B.
After keeping much of their romance private, they finally shared the biggest milestone of their relationship with the people closest to them.
As of August 2026, the couple are officially married, and their Connecticut wedding has given fans a rare glimpse into a relationship that has largely unfolded away from the public eye.
