In Photos: Karl-Anthony Towns girlfriend Jordyn Woods goes all red for traditional Kimono ceremony
Karl-Anthony Towns and his girlfriend Jordyn Woods are in Kyoto, Japan, for fun and relaxation. The Minnesota Timberwolves star isn’t competing at the ongoing 2024 Paris Olympics after the Dominican Republic failed to qualify. With some free time, he took Woods to Asia to experience a culture that's very different from theirs.
“KAT” played in the 2023 FIBA World Cup hosted by Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines. Towns and his teammates were in Asia but played the entire tournament in the Philippines. This summer, he decided to have an adventure in the “Land of the Rising Sun” with Woods.
In Japan, tourists are introduced to many things, including the kimono, the country’s national dress. Karl-Anthony Towns and his girlfriend Jordyn Woods went full throttle in the experience. Jordyn posted photos on Instagram and captioned:
“Traditional Kimono Ceremony. In Japanese culture, they’ve kept certain traditions alive for hundreds of years, and it is inspiring me to create more traditions in my household for years to come. fell in love with Japan and so grateful for this beautiful opportunity”
The NBA All-Star joined the fun and wore a black and gray kimono with stripes. Towns and Woods capped off the look with white socks and yellow slippers. The basketball player, when he wasn’t smiling, could be mistaken for a samurai, while reality TV star Jordyn looked like a geisha.
Karl-Anthony Towns and girlfriend Jordyn Woods partied in Las Vegas before Japan trip
Karl-Anthony Towns’ summer with Jordyn Woods might have started when the Minnesota Timberwolves lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the playoffs.
He didn’t compete with his compatriots in the Olympic qualifying tournament in Greece, so he had more to relax. Before going to Japan, Towns and Woods had dropped by Las Vegas to party.
The Timberwolves big man and his girlfriend met good friend Paul George and his wife Daniela Rajic. They met in Sin City to catch Lil’ Wayne at Drai’s Beachclub performing some of his “greatest hits and new music.”
Jordyn Woods shared some photos and a clip of the legendary artist performing. She captioned it on Instagram:
“a little less than 48 hours In Vegas🙃🤩 you know it’s a good time when you barely get photos”
As Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordyn Woods continue their Japan trip, fans hope they continue sharing photos of their summer adventure.
