New York Knicks basketball star Karl-Anthony Towns recently celebrated his 30th birthday, and his girlfriend, Jordyn Woods, made it a birthday to remember with a touching and sentimental gift. Woods surprised Towns with the exact model car that his late mother, Jackie, owned when he was a child. Jackie Towns sadly passed away from COVID-19 in 2020.
The car, an Isuzu Trooper from the 1990s (last produced in 2002), holds a special place in Towns' heart. Woods revealed in an Instagram post that Towns had mentioned wanting his mother's car if he could drive any car for a day.
"During the summer Karl asked me if I could drive any car for a day, which one would it be. I answered and his response was ‘I wouldn’t pick anything crazy, I just really loved my mom’s car she had when I was a kid.’ So I went on a mission these past months to find the car, shipped it across the country, got it fixed up and was able to surprise him with it today for his 30th!" Woods wrote.
The Instagram post included a video of Towns driving the car and a throwback photo of Towns and his mother with the car from years ago. Towns was visibly moved by the gesture, exclaiming, "This s--- is so fire. This is the best thing ever."
A Gift Rooted in Love and Remembrance
Woods and Towns have been dating since May 2020, a month after his mother's passing. Their relationship seems built on mutual support and love. Woods also shared a heartfelt birthday message on Instagram, writing, "Happy Birthday to the man that always brings the sunshine to my days. I can’t imagine a life without you! 30 !!!! I love you! @karltowns."
The surprise car gift is a testament to Woods' thoughtfulness and her understanding of what truly matters to Towns. It's a gift that honors his late mother and celebrates a cherished memory from his childhood.
