In a joint statement shared with PEOPLE, their reps said, "After an amazing season and a sold-out tour, Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones took a moment to recharge on vacation, which turned it into a beautiful engagement."

"The couple has been dating for two years and look forward to building a life together," the statement added.

Though the two have always stayed tight-lipped about their relationship in public, fans had guessed something was going on.

According to PEOPLE, during Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast, Jones responded to online talk about her personal life.

"I love the internet because they definitely clocked my tea. I love that. Little spies everywhere. I feel like I'm in a detective movie," she said in February.

"But you know what, I'm happy. And I will say my music is the outlet that I use to tell most of my stories and my truth, and some things I keep for myself 'cause this is my life, too."

"I don't want to ever feel like I have to be somebody's secret. I don't want to make anybody feel like they're mine. I think, for me, I"m trying to protect myself, and I'm trying to protect my family na whoever I love. So, yeah, I am more private," she further said.

As an NBA fan, I'm more excited about Donovan's performance next season than his engagement 😅 But seriously, congrats to both! The proposal video was really sweet.

That ring is stunning! But I wonder why Indian celebrities don't get this kind of international coverage when they announce engagements. Our Bollywood stars are just as glamorous!

Respect to Coco for keeping her personal life private. In India, celebrities are hounded 24/7 by paparazzi. Wish we could give our stars the same privacy.

The proposal location looks straight out of a movie! But honestly, I prefer our traditional Indian proposals with family involvement. Western style seems too individualistic for my taste.

Coco's words about not wanting to be someone's secret really resonated with me. In India, we need more women who can set boundaries like this in relationships. 👏

While I'm happy for them, I can't help but think about how much money was spent on that lavish proposal. In India, many couples struggle to afford basic wedding expenses. Just puts things in perspective.
