If almost $60,000 in purses wasn’t enough, she also revealed another show stopping gift from her alleged new beau: a signed Michael Jordan jersey, which sell for up to $8,500 and the theme of the festivities was made complete with a cake in the shape of an Air Jordan 1.

According to TMZ, speculations about the affectionate duo were first sparked back in August 2019, but Woods denied dating rumors, commenting on Instagram, “Karl is like a brother to me.”

But the Dominican-American NBA star appeared to confirm they had moved out of the friendzone by sharing a special message to wood saying, “Happy BDAY Queen” which featured a picture of his arm is wrapped around Wood’s waist and resting firmly on her backside as the happy couple smiled for the cameras.

Woods has reportedly been a source of support for Towns following the death of his mother in April after being placed in a medically induced coma due to contracting COVID-19.

“She’s trying to help him through a tough time as a friend,” a source explained of the reality star who also lost her dad in 2017. “She’s very caring.”
