NBA Fans found themselves reacting to more than just football during Super Bowl LX weekend.
The buzz started when @AthleteVanity shared photos with the caption, “Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones share a kiss after her pre-game performance at Super Bowl LX.”

The images showed Coco Jones fresh off the stage and Mitchell greeting her with a celebratory kiss.
For many NBA Fans, the photos were sweet. For others, they were instantly meme material.
One of the most liked reactions came from @EmenaIo, who asked, “Why she looking like he’s off to war.”
The comment focused on Jones’ intense expression in the moment, which NBA Fans quickly turned into jokes.
Another response, from @mochahontas_tm, offered a different interpretation that resonated with many viewers: “That’s the feeling when you’re relieved after you just killed your performance and your man is right there to support you!”
That reply gained traction among NBA Fans who saw the moment as emotional rather than dramatic.
The contrast in reactions showed how NBA Fans interpret celebrity body language in wildly different ways. Some lean toward humor, others toward admiration.
The moment isn’t just about PDA. It highlights how quickly NBA Fans shift from sports talk to pop culture commentary, especially when high-profile athletes and entertainers share public moments.
Coco Jones had just completed a major Super Bowl performance. Mitchell was there to support her. For NBA Fans, that was enough to spark jokes, praise, and everything in between.
NBA Fans Debate Celebrity Dating After Mitchell And Jones Go Public
NBA Fans didn’t stop at the kiss. The conversation soon shifted toward celebrity relationships and whether high-profile pairings are becoming a trend.
@OnceYouCAL questioned the pairing, writing, “Is that the basketball player Donovan Mitchell,” and adding, “I didn’t know this was a thing. Can they just get regular boyfriends & girlfriends. The industry just be dating and having each other.”
The comment suggested skepticism about celebrity couples staying within similar circles.
That take was quickly challenged. @maisha_zepho responded, “They’re engaged. And what’s the problem with that? You sound weird.”
The reply pointed out that the relationship is serious and not just a casual headline.
Another user, @TheReason8286, asked a direct question: “Who have you seen either of them dating before now?”
The comment pushed back against the assumption that the pairing followed some predictable celebrity pattern.
The debate isn’t just about one couple. It reflects how NBA Fans often react when sports figures date musicians or actors. Some see it as industry networking. Others simply see two successful people supporting each other.
For NBA Fans, the Super Bowl moment became more than a celebration. It turned into a wider conversation about relationships, visibility, and why celebrity couples draw scrutiny in ways regular couples never do.
