No Days Off: Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones Turn Their Honeymoon Into a Yacht Gym Session

Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones’ honeymoon workout has the internet talking. The Cleveland Cavaliers star, 29, gave fans a glimpse inside their luxe vacation by sharing a video to his Instagram Stories of himself and Jones, 28, getting in a workout while aboard a yacht.

In the clip, which he shared on Sunday, Aug. 9, Mitchell rode a Peloton, while Jones put in some time on the treadmill beside him. Filmed from behind the couple, the newlyweds enjoyed a gorgeous scenic view while they worked out barefoot, which became one of the topics of discussion among fans. The yacht wasn't just a pleasure vessel; it came equipped with the kind of gym setup an elite athlete needs, allowing Mitchell to continue his strength and conditioning work without ever stepping on land.

When The Sports Network posted Mitchell's video on Instagram and captioned it, "No days off for Donovan Mitchell," some fans speculated that the couple just hopped on the machines for a quick video. One wrote, "Both barefoot? Yeah, they 'exercised' for the video 🤣". Another said the Cavs star "better be" working out daily considering the team just gave him a four-year contract extension worth $273 million.

A few users on X agreed, while others just admired the couple's scenic workout setting. "It's like they are running towards that mountain in front of them," wrote one user. Another fan said Mitchell "won in life" because he was "working out on a yacht" with his "multi-talented" wife.


A Star-Studded Wedding

Jones and Mitchell tied the knot on Aug. 1 in front of their closest family and friends, including NBA stars Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson and Bam Adebayo, as well as Ciara and Russell Wilson. In a video shared by Brown, Jones and Mitchell were seen dancing to Musiq Soulchild's "Love" during the ceremony. The wedding took place in Greenwich, Connecticut.

The couple largely kept their romance out of the spotlight before announcing they were engaged in July 2025 when they shared a photo of themselves sharing a sweet kiss with a large engagement ring on the singer's left hand. "After an amazing season and a sold-out tour, Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones took a moment to recharge on vacation, which turned into a beautiful engagement," reps for the couple told PEOPLE in a joint statement at the time.

In an interview earlier this year, Jones reflected on the engagement with her characteristic blend of humor and sincerity. "I think about my life so much like business, and I'm like, 'Girl, you got to stop. This is the biggest contract I've ever signed.' You know what I'm saying? This is a real-life, forever commitment," she told PEOPLE. "I talk about forever, I sing about forever, and then I'm like, 'Oh, this really forever. Okay, word up, word up'".


A Shared Drive for Greatness

Jones has spoken about what makes their relationship work: a shared understanding of ambition. Both are deeply committed to supporting each other with the same intensity they bring to their work. "We both go really hard for the things we love, and they're demanding careers," she explained. "I feel like we speak a different language that makes me really feel seen. And he's my biggest cheerleader, so I feel like I'm never able to doubt myself in his presence. It's just not going down like that".


A Month Away from Training Camp

Mitchell is a month away from NBA training camp, with the Cavaliers guard expected to lead the franchise beyond the Eastern Conference Finals, where they were swept in 2026. His focus on entering camp as the best version of himself is clear, as he's ensuring he remains in shape even when on his honeymoon. With Jones being a Grammy-winning singer and actress, she is also motivated to be in great shape, so being with her All-NBA husband is already showing its impact.

The couple's honeymoon workout is a testament to their shared dedication and a reminder that even on a mega-yacht in Europe, there's no rest for the driven. As one fan put it, Mitchell has truly "won in life".
