WATCH THE VIDEO HERE After months of swirling rumors, Media Take Out confirmed that what fans have long suspected— Coco Jones is in a relationship with Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell. The Bel-Air actress and singer addressed the speculation while sitting down for a candid conversation with Shannon Sharpe on his Club Shay Shay podcast. Sharpe wasted no time getting straight to the point, bringing up the internet chatter about her and Mitchell. He pointed out that despite Jones’ previous denials, it was hard to ignore moments like the two of them holding hands at an Usher concert. That’s when Coco finally let her guard down. “I love the internet because they definitely clocked my tea. Little spies everywhere,” she admitted with a laugh. “I’m happy, and I will say my music is my outlet where I tell my stories and my truth. Some things I keep for myself because this is my life, too. I say some things, and you can hear it on my album.” While she didn’t go into great detail about their relationship, her response confirmed what many fans had already pieced together—she and Donovan Mitchell are indeed an item. Sharpe followed up by asking if her decision to keep things private was intentional, given her status as a public figure. Surprisingly, Coco revealed that secrecy isn’t what she prefers when it comes to love. “I don’t want to feel like I have to be somebody’s secret,” she explained. “I don’t want to make anybody feel like they’re mine. For me, I’m trying to protect myself, my family, and who I love, so I am more private.” She went on to say that while she values sharing parts of herself with her fans, she also believes in keeping certain aspects of her life sacred. “I work so hard, and I will always do my part on the business side, the ‘Coco’ side, the singing side, the acting side. So why do I have to also give y’all something that is sacred to me when I give so much on that side? It has to be balanced, otherwise, it’s not fair. What do I get for me?” Fans had been speculating about Coco and Donovan for quite some time. The biggest hint came in September 2024, when they were spotted holding hands at an Usher concert. Before that, Coco was seen interacting with Mitchell’s sister at Michael Rubin’s exclusive Fourth of July party, fueling even more speculation about their closeness. While the two have kept their romance mostly under wraps, it seems like Coco is finally ready to let the world in—on her own terms. Now that the cat is officially out of the bag, fans will likely be keeping an even closer eye on Coco and Donovan. Whether they continue to keep things low-key or become more public with their romance, one thing is clear—Coco is happy, and she’s living life on her own terms. As for any deeper relationship details? Fans might just have to listen to her next album to get more insight. Spies Everywhere: The Internet Got It Right
