Jordyn Woods presented her NBA boyfriend Karl-Anthony Towns‘ with a beautiful portrait of his late mother Jacqueline, as a tribute to her nearly a year after her death.

Jordyn posted a photo of Towns on Instagram, holding the finished portrait with the caption, “It’s about to be a year since @karltowns lost his queen,” she wrote.
“We loved this young picture of his mom so much, and I wanted to do something to honor her, she explained. “My brother @jwoodzart is one of the most talented people I know and was the only person I trusted to capture her essence. This experience never gets easier, you just get stronger.”
Towns thanked Woods in a post on his Instagram Story by sharing a picture of the back of the portrait. “To my King who was raised by a Queen I love you,” Woods’ wrote on the back.
“Love you too babe,” Towns wrote.
