The past couple of years have been difficult for Karl-Anthony, 26, who lost his mom Jacqueline Towns to COVID in April 2020.

He subsequently lost six additional family members all of whom died due to complications from the virus.

During an episode of Facebook Watch's talk show last October, Peace of Mind with Taraji, the NBA player opened up to hosts Taraji P. Henson and Tracie Jade about dating Woods after the death of his mother.

"A woman that meant so much to me in my life left my life to be replaced by another woman who took that spot," Karl-Anthony said of Woods.

Karl-Anthony, who has since recovered from having COVID himself, added he believes his mother played a part in making sure he and Woods got together.

"You know it's crazy because we were best friends," Karl-Anthony said at the time. "I feel, in a way, when my mom passed, she's like, 'I'm not going to leave you alone. I'm going to make sure you know who you are supposed to be with.' "
