Celebrity Engagement Rings – Stars Who Got Engaged 2025

We are halfway through 2022 and we are surrounded by wedding bells. With celebrities finding love and saying “yes”, it would be ideal to know who is tying the knot and how they did it. While they will be in the process of finding their something old, something borrowed and something blue, we’re here to talk about the little something on their fingers. Our celebrities took the words of Beyonce and really embodied “if you like it then you shut up and put a ring on it!”. The star-studded engagement rings fit our stars and the proposals we are aware of definitely have us collectively saying “aww”. From different cuts to carat counts, we will be addressing the different details we picked up on about these stellar rings and the couples that adorn it. Now while we humbly wait for 2022 to wrap up and more couples to announce their engagement, or keep a close eye on the wedding preparations of those already hitched, let’s get started. Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly This couple has been a topic of discussion ever since they got together. They really put an image to the words “My Bloody Valentine”. On January 11, Machine Gun Kelly got down on one knee to propose to his Transformers star Girlfriend Megan Fox at the Ritz-Carlton in Puerto Rico. They wasted no time in announcing the news the very next day and left fans in awe of the 2-2.5 each two-stone emerald and diamond piece ring. Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, worked closely with the ring designer, Stephen Webster. Embodying Megan’s birth stone with the diamond, the magnets within the gold combine the two rings into one. The twin flames could not have been better represented by this special ring. Lana Condor and Anthony De La Torre The star of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before seems to have found the only boy she will ever love in singer Anthony De La Torre. After 7 years of dating, Lana Condor announced their engagement on Instagram on the 28th of January, 2022. Lana Condor and singer Anthony De La Torre are engaged after almost seven years of dating. “Saying YES was the easiest decision I’ve ever made. I consider myself the absolute luckiest woman alive to live in your sphere. Aside from my father, without a doubt, you are the greatest man in the world. Emmy & Timmy said its about time mommy & daddy got engaged!!!”, Lana captioned her absolutely adorable post filled with pictures and videos of the proposal. She also stated the effort and thought put into the ring by her beloved fiancé. “Anthony worked with the INCREDIBLE Vietnamese female owned @parisjewellerscanada to design the most stunning piece I’ve ever seen!” She went on to compliment the thoughtful gesture made by her fiancé who paid homage to her roots, “The fact he knew how important it was to me that he’d collaborate w/ a Vietnamese company to help design my ring is a testament to just how truly thoughtful he always is. I cannot wait to be your wife, baby. I love you a million times over.” Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens Sportsmanship or relationship? Olympic gymnast, Simone Biles, announced the happy news of her engagement to NFL player Johnathan Owens on Instagram through an adorable post on the 15th of February, 2022. “THE EASIEST YES I can’t wait to spend forever & ever with you, you’re everything I dreamed of and more! let’s get married FIANCÉ” she captioned the series of pictures from the proposal. Owens, a safety for the Houston Texans, shared the happiness by sharing the same series of pictures as a post on his own Instagram page and captioned it with credits to his friends in aiding him in the surprise. “Woke up this morning with a fiancée. Appreciate my dawg @don_julio314 for helping me set everything up, she really had no clue what was coming @zofrost you went crazy on this one bro really made the night special”. The couple confirmed their relationship on Instagram in August 2020 but could not celebrate their first anniversary together in 2021 due to Biles being stationed in Tokyo, Japan for the 2020 Summer Olympics. Regardless, Owens showered her with love and support over social media. CEO of The Diamond Pro, Mike Fried, estimated the dazzling ring to a value of $800,000 and to be ‘at least’ eight carats. Truly a winner like our couple! Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton have been together since 2019. The couple was recently seen walking side by side on the red carpet at the 2022 BAFTA Awards. And it seems the cameras were not the only thing that flashed bright. Hiddleston, 41, and Ashton, 37, are reportedly officially engaged according to multiple sources and of course, the diamond ring spotted on her left hand at the awards. The couple met on the 2019 production of Betrayal and other than starring in the show’s original run, they went on to reprise their roles in the Broadway edition of the play. Although they kept their relationship private, fans were made certain when they went on a vacation together in September. The Ibiza beach witnessed the couple holding hands and kissing, perhaps embarking on their honeymoon phase. Mike Fried, the CEO of The Diamond Pro, suggests that the ring adorned by Ashton appears to be five carats, worth approximately a whopping $150,000.

Puppy Love – Oliver Is Getting Married!

Our adorable little Yorkie has found love and recently made the jump to pop the question from his beloved. And looks like it is a definite yes because Oliver is engaged! The stunning 14K White Gold Four Prong Diamond Eternity Band by Jewelry Depot Houston was the undeniable perfect pick for our perfect paws. This eternity band is crafted in polished 14K white gold weighing about 0.25 carats as it features 47 round cut diamonds. How can you say no to that? It was not an easy task for Oliver to make a pick out of so many options. From stackers to plane bands, Oliver needed to be sure that what he picked was something that would hold some sort of sentimental value for his soon-to-be wife. And so, his quest began! From going from one jewelry shop to another, barking his way downtown, and confusing jewelers with his elaborate explanations on what he wanted, he found himself rather disheartened. It was not so that those rings were not beautiful, but more so that he knew it did not immediately have his tongue out in glee when he set his cute beady little eyes on each ring. So, his search continued. And as the sun blazed hotter, making it tougher for our furry little friend to work his way around those pavements, he decided to take up matters online. Over a hundred tabs open in his browser and favoriting so many options in case he finds himself going back to one he saw before; he came upon Jewelry Depot Houston. And he began wagging his tail in delight as he realized this may just be the place where he finds his perfect ring. He heads on over to all the categories of the engagement rings: shop by type, shop by metal, and shop by shape. This really helped him narrow down his search simply by practically customizing the kind of ring he wants in his search. Lo’ and behold! He finally found himself the one. It reminded him instantly of how he would love his fluffy partner for eternity when he stumbled upon the 14K White Gold Four Prong Diamond Eternity Band. It shined and glimmered, it was elegant yet extravagant. It represented simplicity so mesmerizingly that he just had to have it!  Much to his luck, it was on sale too! And what a fabulous deal to have a ring this beautiful for just about $1,565! He wasted no time to avail this offer and immediately ordered it. He waited patiently for the ring to arrive, panting by the window sill or barking at every mailman that crossed his house. He was eager. And the day finally came not much later where his package arrived! He happily tore the package apart and found the ring box carefully tucked in, protected. He held his breath as he opened the ring box and found his jaw on the floor. “What a ring!”, he thought. And he pranced around the living room in pure happiness. He called over his boo to his place for dinner and had his human friend make the perfect dinner for the little pups. Nervous but certain, he waited until they finished their water after the hearty meal. And without a moment’s wait, he wagged his tail and nudged the ring to his girlfriend. Instantly, every scenario began playing in his mind. Will she say no all together? Will she look at the ring and feel otherwise? He was impatient. And he looked at her with puppy eyes as she plopped the ring box open and stepped back in awe. She yelped in joy and tackled Oliver with a warm embrace. He knew that was all he needed. The perfect ring on the most perfect paw he would ever lay eyes on. The wedding preparations are now in full swing! From dealing with the guest list to the caterers and thinking which dog food would be best for the event, Oliver definitely has his paws full. He’s marching through shops to find the tailored suit that he can wear on his big day and counting each day down to big moment. Soon, the invitations need to be sent out and he realizes in all the wedding prep, he now must find the perfect wedding band. Luckily, now he knows Jewelry Depot Houston is the only place he needs to go. With a few simple clicks, he will find the wedding bands he knows him and his partner would love without a moment’s hesitation. Oliver has been quite busy but excited with his wedding preparations, but it does not take him away from the little things with his now fiancé. They have their little dates or go on errands together to find the right wedding planner. Finding love is truly something that is rare, but managing to keep it and turn it into more than just feelings requires commitment. You always try to prioritize the other person and ensure that they are happy, and that they feel supported and understood. You try your best to compromise where it is necessary and help foster one another’s growth. To symbolize all that with a lifetime commitment, a ring that may represent eternity the way you feel it is a beautiful gesture. Oliver found his once-in-a-lifetime love and once in a blue moon engagement ring. His luck has been on his side so far but it has been his dedication and sincerity to his love that truly escalates the value of any ring. Our little Oliver is beyond excited and we could not be happier for him. Days later, we received our own little invitation to attend his wedding. And we are proud to be a part of this momentous chapter of his life. We will be waiting with a box of tissues as they make their way down the aisle, say their ‘bow vows’, and officially begin their journey as Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Yorkie.

So of course, we took it upon ourselves to ensure you not only get the best ring for your partner, but Jewelry Depot Houston dug up some stunning ideas for your special step.   1. Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt     I mean, this one is pretty obvious considering we are talking about a marriage proposal on an Easter Holiday. Much like how as kids, we find ourselves collecting hidden easter eggs on this hopeful occasion, you can rekindle your childhood through this romantic yet playful proposal. Make it a game on who gets to find the most eager eggs and wager a bet worthy of the effort. It could be anything your partner perhaps really wanted or you know would get them to play. The final big egg would be contained in a rather obvious location and regardless of who finds it, you get to get go down on one knee when the egg is opened up as a cleverly covered up ring box containing a beautiful engagement ring. Have a friend or hire a photographer to perhaps capture the beautiful moment. If you want your close friends and family present, make it into a huge group game and tell everyone the idea so its ensured your partner is left clueless until the ring is unveiled.   2. Flash-Mob Surprise With this huge step you are about to take in life, why not take a couple of more steps on the beat to make it happen? Dance is a way of expressing yourself through your body in a way that compliments the music and the moment. And with how many flash-mobs have been the rave for so many joyous events, it is not surprise it serves as a stunning idea for you to express your love and commitment to your soon-to-be life partner. Spend a few days with your mates or even look to help from some dancers to choreograph a flash-mob. Go ahead and take your partner on a normal walk along the street or a park perhaps. Something that comes off as completely natural. And as each person you have in on the act begin dancing and more join the crowd, step in at the most unexpected moment into the dance! The look of utter surprise will be priceless when your partner realizes all the hard work you have put into making this dream a reality. Dance with your group and as the dance comes close to the end, propose to your beloved and have the huge round of applause as they nod their head yes and put the ring on.   3. Intimacy At Your Favorite Place Now I know what you must be wondering. These fun and playful ideas are grand but you want something perhaps a little more intimate. Cheers and public eyes may not be for everyone, so here’s an idea if you want to keep things intimate between the two of you but special nonetheless. As most couples spend time together, there are definitely things and places that become “ours”, if you know what we mean. Of course, you do. Otherwise, you probably would not be reading up on proposal ideas! Well, you must definitely have “our spot” or “our favorite place” as it can go. This could be a landmark you both love, a place you two met, a skyline you both appreciate or even a destination you both always wanted to go but could not make time for. Well, now you can. Choose the place that you know holds massive sentimental value of some sort to your relationship and resurrect those memories as you make it the place you always proposed to your partner. You can conveniently place a camera before you get down on one knee if you wish to capture it but do not want any third-party individual present for this special and intimate moment. You can mark this place as not only one of your favorite places but the place they said “I do!”.   4. Show-Time at Curtain Call     Whether you two are avid theatre lovers or not, this proposal idea is definitely something that could be straight out of a play. And we mean it! Theatre has been a huge proponent of romance and why not bring it in to cast a special mark on your marriage proposal. Talk to one of the producers or directors at a theatre and organize a special proposal at the curtain call. It could be just as the cast is announced and a special mention could be made to your partner for bringing together the story that is your new married life. As your partner sits confused, you take out the ring and get down on one knee to really make it evident and hope that the next line is “Yes!”. It is pretty unexpected and a setup…

What to Wear to Your Engagement Party – Our Top 10 Ideas!

They liked it, so they shut up and put a ring on it. So here you are, wondering what to wear for your engagement party. You seem to have everything else figured out. The catering, the invitations, the wine and what theme you want to go for. But you cannot figure out the look you want for yourself so you stand out as the bride-to-be without a moment’s doubt. Some want to go for a look that is minimal but elegant, some want something sensual and outgoing, and others can straight up turn it into a mixed bag based on how they want the day to go and the activities in store. With so many options, it can be tricky to decide what your exact pick is. So, we decided to list down 10 ideas that can work for you based on the usual expectation with a twist and perhaps some themed looks to really add some character to your day. Of course, in the end, it is what resonates with you and makes you feel great. And thus, without any further hesitation, we present to you our top picks for your engagement party look! 1. Bodycon Bride-To-Be Do not be shy to show off those curves with a fitting body-con dress that hugs you as tightly as your fiancé would! With different textures from ribbed to velvet or even sequins, it is definitely a great pick to look elegant and sexy at your engagement party. You can choose the length of the dress short to keep it fun and sensual, or long to add that extra oomph of woman to it. Sleeveless, sleeves, off shoulders or no shoulders, make your pick and adorn it with your favorite accessories to complete the look. 2. Lace It Up I think it is pretty clear that you can play around with the length and sleeves aspect as much as you want, but it is everything else that we have got to tell you about. Laces add in the princess touch and being the bride, you are definitely the princess in your wedding. So why not lace it up? Either the entire dress could be made of designed lace stitched together with net to add a statement of elegance or you could keep it simpler with lace tugging at your waist or hem of the dress. If you want to try, you can add lace into literally any kind of outfit you choose to sprinkle on that bride-to-be statement that can make your look stand out. 3. Suit Up! Dresses are always ever present and there are so many options to choose from. That much is definitive. But if you are someone that does not resonate with a dress or would rather switch things up, you can go against the herd and suit it up. Whether it is a full-blown three-piece suit or otherwise, blazers may be your friend in this attire.  You can choose to hit the party with a button-down blouse, a tube top or anything else that suits your fancy with either trousers or a skirt underneath. And of course, do not forget the blazer to give it that proper boss woman vibe. The bride is the boss after all! If you do not want to go for a complete suit to avoid looking too professional on a fun day, prop the blazer on top of a dress if you want to mix those two worlds and make it more comfortable. 4. Jumpsuit Comfort If you have a long party ahead, comfort can be of key importance in all of it along with style. And what could be more comfortable than the perfect mix of a suit and dress? You got it right. Jumpsuits are your friend. You can run about yet still look elegant as ever in them. You do not have to worry about your dress getting caught in something or the heat of all the layers of a suit when you decide to go with a jumpsuit. The style can vary from off-shoulders jumpsuit in white to a halter top jumpsuit in red and so many other combinations. But in the end, you look fabulous and can run a marathon if you want, it is that comfortable.  5. Evening Gowns Elegance from top to bottom. You know it. A beautiful silk evening gown with a slight tail to add that extra flair may be the perfect fit for you if you are someone that wants that royal touch. Adorn it with a statement necklace or some elegant jewels, and you could give Kiera Knightly a run for her money. Just be sure to choose a color that would complement the time of the day you decide to keep your engagement party at. Pastels and white work beautifully in the daylight, but darker colors and blacks would be ideal for night time. Either way, you are going to look like a million bucks. 6. Wrap It Wrap dresses come in a variety of styles, prints, textures and cuts. And they come in handy for so many beautiful occasions. So why not wrap yourself in one for your engagement party? If you want to keep things a bit less formal and more girly for the day, you can for a loose-fit wrap dress that tugs at your body with a flair at the bottom so you could dance it up. If you want to go for a sexier look, a body-hugging wrap dress will serve your needs well. Easy to wear and easy to unwrap as well, in case you have to hit the loo and do not want a bundle of layers to go through just because nature called. 7. Maximum Maxi Love Maxis is the love-child of dresses and jumpsuits. And we are here for it. Coming in different textures and styles, you can easily choose the maxi look for yourself for your engagement party. Whether it be block colors or floral print, you will be rocking…
