Celebrity Engagements Recap January 2019

  January proved a busy month for celebrity engagements. I'd like to highlight six of these celebrity engagements and, of course, the beautiful rings that marked their special occasions.  

Flawless Diamonds

Firstly, Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters agreed to marry Tim Tebow, star of the NFL. Tim proposed at his family's farm in Jacksonville, Florida, on January 10. Demi-Leigh now enjoys a 7.25-carat, round diamond solitaire set on a white gold or platinum band. Not surprisingly, the diamond grades internally flawless. Excellent choice, Mr. Tebow. The happy couple chased the romance of their proposal with a shot of family fun at Disneyworld! Meanwhile, on January 14, Chris Pratt proposed to Katherine Schwarzenegger (yes, Arnold's daughter) with a delicate solitaire ring set with a large diamond in either a cushion or oval cut.  

A Bali Sunset

Two days later, Michael Clifford, drummer for 5 Seconds of Summer, proposed to his beautiful girlfriend, Crystal Leigh. Clifford planned an undeniably elaborate sunset proposal at the Ungasan Clifftop Resort in Bali. With "Medicine," by the English rock band The 1975, playing in the background, Clifford got down on one knee in the exact place where the couple shared their first kiss three years prior. Of course, she said yes. Leigh's ring, seen in several photographs of their romantic evening, features an oval- or cushion-cut diamond, certainly at least 3 carats, set on a pave band.  

More Celebrity Engagements

On January 17, Oroville actors Scott Grimes and Adrianne Palicki announced their engagement on Twitter. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find a photo of Adrianne's engagement ring. On January 27, Elisabeth Röhm (Law & Order actress) accepted Jonathan T. Colby's proposal of marriage. Colby, a retired judge, proposed in the backyard of their La Jolla home at sunset. He purchased her ring from Tiffany's, a classic diamond solitaire on a yellow gold band. Finally, at the end of January, Rafael Nadal gave an exclusive interview with Hola! Magazine, sharing that he proposed to Mery ‘Xisca’ Perello last May while on holiday in Rome. The couple have dated for the past 14 years. Evidently, they plan to wed this fall in Mallorca, the beautiful island paradise where they live and work. We congratulate all the happy couples!
