by

Jordyn Woods is clutch when it comes to sweet birthday gifts.

The 28-year-old celebrated her boyfriend Karl-Anthony Towns’ 30th birthday with a touching tribute to his late mother, Jackie Cruz-Towns.

Jordyn shared on Instagram that she asked Karl what car he’d want to drive for a day. He responded that he wouldn’t choose anything extravagant, but that he especially loved his mom’s old car from his childhood. Jordyn then secretly spent months tracking down the car, having it shipped and restored, and surprised him with it as a 30th birthday gift, as shown in a photo of them with the truck.

Jordyn shared a photo of her and Karl-Anthony with their new car, along with a sweet throwback picture of Karl and his mother – who sadly passed away from COVID-19 in April 2020 – with the original version of the same car. A video also showed Karl happily test-driving his new ride.

“This s–t is so fire,” he told Jordyn from behind the wheel. “This is the best thing ever.”

The NBA player celebrated his birthday with a small, private party attended by his girlfriend of five years, friends, and teammates. His girlfriend, Jordyn, shared a heartfelt message online, celebrating their long-term relationship, in addition to his new car.

In a post on November 15th, she wrote a heartfelt birthday message, saying, “You always brighten my life! I can’t picture my life without you! Happy 30th Birthday! I love you! @karltowns.”

Jordyn has occasionally talked about her relationship with Karl, explaining how they’ve supported each other through both good times and bad.

She shared on the Tamron Hall Show in October that she’s with her best friend, and they enjoy doing life together. They had been friends for years before becoming a couple. Both having experienced personal loss – she lost her father at 19, and he faced his own challenges – allowed her to offer him a unique kind of support, which ultimately brought them closer and led to their relationship.

As for her favorite qualities about her boyfriend? His ability to stay positive.

She described him as playfully youthful, admitting it could be a lot to handle at times. However, she appreciates that he brings excitement to life and believes his ability to stay young at heart is wonderful. He’s incredibly supportive and optimistic, especially when things are difficult, and she values having someone so positive in her life.
