Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns made sure his presence was felt this Christmas as he gifted his girlfriend Jordyn Woods a Porsche to celebrate the holidays.
Towns has been deeply hurt by the covid-19 virus, as he lost his mother to the deadly virus in April 2020, but he said Woods has helped in filling that void. In a sitdown with Taraji P. Henson on Peace of Mind With Taraji, he said:
“A woman that meant so much to me in my life left my life to be replaced by another woman who took that spot.”
“You know it’s crazy because we were best friends. I feel, in a way, when my mom passed, she’s like, ‘I’m not going to leave you alone. I’m going to make sure you know who you are supposed to be with.’ “
Star model Woods could not hide her excitement, as she took to Instagram to share the good news. In her post, she said:
“WTF!! I thought last night was enough and then I woke up to this!! My forever Santa!! I love you @karltowns !! I’m speechless!! You never fail to make me feel like a queen! WTF THE BROWN we talked about!?!? With the rose gold too!?!?”
Unfortunately, this is the second consecutive year the couple is spending the holidays away from each other due to covid.
“I’m so sad this is the second year in a row that covid prevented us from being together on Christmas but your presence was felt.”
Towns recently entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols, missing Thursday’s game against the Utah Jazz. The 26-year-old was unhappy with the news and expressed his frustration on Twitter.
“Can’t catch a f*%@ing break!”
After he is cleared to play, he will undoubtedly spend some time with the love of his life. But for now, he is focused on recovering and helping his team stay competitive.
