Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns Embrace "Game of Thrones" Theme for Halloween
The couple celebrated their first Halloween as a married couple in New York City with elaborate costumes from the popular HBO series.
Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns marked their first Halloween as a married couple with a striking display of "Game of Thrones" costumes in New York City. Woods, 28, adopted the persona of a White Walker, while her husband, NBA player Karl-Anthony Towns, 30, portrayed the Night King.
The couple was observed walking through SoHo, stopping at a restaurant for an al fresco meal, drawing attention from onlookers and photographers. This elaborate costume choice reflects Woods' known appreciation for the HBO series, which aired from 2011 to 2019.
Woods and Towns, who recently celebrated their wedding, have woven elements of "Game of Thrones" into significant moments of their relationship. Towns proposed to Woods with a theme inspired by the show, later recounting on The Howard Stern Show, "I bent the knee to her on some Jon Snow." Following a New York Knicks victory, Woods shared a fan-edited meme of Arya Stark in a Knicks cap on social media.
Their wedding ceremony took place in Malibu, California, following a five-year relationship and a Christmas Day engagement. The couple's union was marked by a star-studded guest list, including Kylie Jenner, Timothee Chalamet, and Justin and Hailey Bieber, among others, who all adhered to a black dress code.
Woods and Towns have often attributed the strength of their relationship to a foundation of friendship. In a November 2023 interview with People, Woods emphasized the importance of shared history and trust. "We know each other. We know each other's hearts. We know each other on good days and bad days, and we've been through a lot of bad days together," she stated. Towns echoed this sentiment, noting how their relationship evolved from friendship during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Woods' past garnered significant media attention in 2019 following an incident involving Tristan Thompson. The situation led to a public fallout with the Kardashian family. However, Woods and her longtime friend Kylie Jenner have since publicly reconciled, with Jenner stating in an interview that they had maintained contact throughout their estrangement and naturally reconnected.
