\u201cGreetings from the chiefs kingdom \u2764\ufe0f. #chiefs #nfldraft #worthy,\u201d Jones wrote alongside a collection of Instagram pictures featuring Worthy back then.<\/p>\n
Worthy and Jones revealed their engagement in July 2024. Worthy proposed to Jones on the beach, kneeling before a red floral arch adorned with a \u201cMarry Me\u201d sign in the background.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Two months later, Worthy played in his regular season debut and scored two touchdowns. \u201cInitial match, initial touchdown, initial victory.\u201d Honored to be a Chief. \u201cGo Chiefs Kingdom!\u201d he exclaimed in a Chiefs video on X, while Jones excitedly posted on X, \u201cZay\u2019s first genuine NFL touchdown \ud83c\udfc8 First TD of the game! Remaining with 2 touchdowns. Had 68 yards from just 3 touches \ud83e\udd2f.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the couple gets ready for their wedding, Jones shared the story of how their relationship started in a November 2024 episode of \u201cThe Pregame Podcast With Tokyo and Sydnee.\u201d Jones mentioned that Worthy had contacted her earlier, but she \u201cdidn\u2019t reply.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Because, you see, it’s Instagram.” \u201cSwipe in, swipe out,\u201d she commented, mentioning that circumstances shifted when she relocated to Texas, where he resided. \u201cTime passed, and I relocated to Texas to train with my coach.\u201d At that time, he was attending UT [University of Texas], and we encountered each other at a restaurant. I spotted him at a dining place.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While Jones was running “so late” to a friend’s dinner at a steakhouse, two vehicles accelerated, “cutting in front of” her \u2014 one of which turned out to be Worthy. Jones and Worthy reached the restaurant\u2019s valet section on time, originally intending to inform the driver, \u201cyou must reduce your speed.\u201d Nevertheless, she spotted Worthy and identified him.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“[He gave me a look that said], ‘I’ve been searching for you,'” Jones remembered, mentioning that Worthy was “truly a gentleman” and invited her out on a date. “That\u2019s the reason God delayed my arrival to that dinner.” “Because I encountered my partner.”<\/p>\n
