A year after going public with their engagement, Coco Jones and NBA star Donovan Mitchell just made it official. The singer and the Cleveland Cavaliers guard celebrated with a reception that looked nothing short of magical—complete with live performances, multiple outfit changes, and a guest list that read like a who’s who of entertainment and sports.
While the wedding ceremony stayed private, Coco Jones and Mitchell gave everyone a peek at the reception through viral clips that captured their entrance and first dance. The newlyweds walked into the room to “Mo Chicken” by rapper BigXThaPlug before sharing their official first dance to Musiq Soulchild’s “Love”—a fitting choice for the moment.
Jones started the night in a stunning floor-length white gown before switching into a shorter white dress with floral details as the evening went on. The vibe felt intimate but celebratory, with Mitchell eventually taking the mic to serenade his new wife with Fantasia’s 2006 ballad “When I U” while they both soaked in the moment.
Singer Blxst performed “Be Alone” during the reception, keeping the energy smooth and celebratory throughout the night.
One moment that caught people’s attention online was when Jones and her bridesmaids danced to Destiny’s Child’s 2004 track “Girl.” The song choice raised some eyebrows among observers, since the tune’s narrative focuses on confronting a friend about a problematic relationship. Fans found the song selection curious for a wedding celebration, though those actually in the room seemed to be having too good a time to worry about the subtext.
The guest list spoke volumes about who matters to this couple. Ciara and Russell Wilson—the pair who actually introduced Jones and Mitchell—were there to celebrate. So were NBA players Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics, Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart of the New York Knicks, plus singer Ella Mai and several other industry fixtures. The energy seemed genuinely joyful, less about the spectacle and more about surrounding themselves with people who’ve been part of their story.
For a couple that’s kept much of their relationship relatively low-key compared to some of their peers, the reception felt like the right balance of celebration and privacy. The clips that made it online showed a night rooted in real moments—dancing, laughing, singing to each other—rather than just posing for the camera. That’s becoming rarer in wedding season, and it’s refreshing to see.
