Jersey Shore's Jenni Farley, otherwise known as Jwoww, is officially engaged to boyfriend Zack Clayton Carpinello. The professional wrestler popped the question to the reality television star on top of the Empire State Building on Feb. 27.

"On 2.27 I said yes on the top of the Empire State Building," wrote Farley on Instagram on March 9. She shared two candid moments from the proposal, one of which showed off her blinding engagement ring.

Andrew Brown, CEO of WP Diamonds, estimates that the stunner would retail for around  $30,000 to $35,000. "Jenni's gorgeous engagement ring appears to be a 2 to 2.5ct oval diamond, set in a rose gold ring with a diamond halo and diamond band," Brown tells Brides.

Brilliant Earth’s SVP of Merchandising & Retail Expansion Kathryn Money believes the ring to be around 3 to 3.5 carats coming in at approximately $35,000 to $50,000, additionally noting that the dainty band is very popular at the moment.

However, Roxanna Rector, senior buyer for engagement and bridal rings at Blue Nile, estimates a much higher price at $80,000 to $150,000 for the ring, adding that she believes the ring to have a 3 to 4-carat center stone. "Elongated fancy shapes like ovals have been trending for 2021 and look great paired with rose gold, it adds a feminine touch and looks great on all skin tones," she says.

The engagement comes two years after the couple got together in April of 2019. They did, however, break up for a week in the fall of 2019—but have been going strong ever since!

The Summer House star is engaged to boyfriend Des Bishop! After a whirlwind romance, the podcaster and reality star said "yes" to her boyfriend on Valentine's Day, according to People. "We're very excited," Berner said. "It all happened so fast, but when you know, you know."

The two started dating in July 2020 after he reached out to Berner on social media. "He lets me be me, and we laugh together," she told People. "I make him laugh, and he makes me laugh. I really just fell in love with how his mind works. And I really listen to his advice, and I really just respect him."

As for the moment of the engagement? It was very fitting for the funny couple. "When we first started dating, Des would send me this really funny video, singing videos, that would make me laugh," the reality star said. "On Valentine's Day, I woke up and I had a video of him singing, which I hadn't gotten since the summer. And then it ends with him being like, 'I have a surprise for you.'"

She joked, "I'm in bed with my Invisalign on, and my breath is terrible. And he's just kneeling on the side, and then he just pulls out the ring. I think I just made weird crying noises."

Berner also told People that her new fiancé killed it on the ring choice. "It's just perfect because I can wear it with my sweats. I can wear it more dressed up. And I feel like it's, as my friends would say, very me."

Kathryn Money, SVP of Merchandising & Retail Expansion at Brilliant Earth, told us that Hannah's dainty ring style is very trendy among celebrities right now. "Hannah’s beautiful ring appears to feature a two to two and a half carat round stone set with four prongs on a classic yellow gold band," she says, adding that "depending on the quality and specific characteristics of the center stone, we estimate the cost of the ring between approximately $25,000 to $40,000 U.S. dollars."

Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley

Super Bowl weekend got a dose of romance when the NFL's 2020 MVP Aaron Rodgers announced he's engaged to Big Little Lies star Shailene Woodley! Appearing at the NFL Honors broadcast to accept the prestigious award, the Green Bay Packers quarterback confirmed he's engaged and thanked his whole family, including his fiancée. "It's an honor to win this award for the third time. 2020 was definitely a crazy year filled with lots of change and growth, some amazing memorable moments. 180 straight days of having my nose hair scraped, playing for very little fans or no stands the entire season," he said, before adding: "I got engaged."

And Woodley confirmed the engagement to Rodgers during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon on Feb. 22.

"We are engaged," she told Fallon. "But for us, it's not new news. It's kind of funny everybody right now is freaking out over it, and we're like, 'yeah, we've been engaged for a while.'" She added that she's not much of a football person, and she hasn't been to any of his games yet.

"We met during this whacky, whacky time and all the stadiums were closed that he was playing in, so I have yet to go to a football game," she said. "I didn't really grow up with sports, especially American sports. It was never really on my radar. When we met, also, I knew he was a football guy, but I didn't know like what kind of a football guy he was. And I'm still constantly learning."

She jokingly added that this isn't who she pictured herself ending up with. "I never thought I'd be engaged with somebody who threw balls for a living."

The Fault In Our Stars actress also showed off her new, gorgeous ring during her time on Fallon. It appears to be a round center stone (and a fairly large one at that) in a white-gold setting.

“This ring falls right in line with the current chunky styles we see trending in jewelry," says Money. "Based on what we can see, Lana’s ring appears to be an estimated 2 carat princess cut center gem set on a wide band diamond adorned bypass ring with an additional 3-5 carats of diamonds." She adds that the estimated cost of a ring like this is a whopping $30,000-$45,000, depending on quality and other characteristics of the center stone, of course.

Raise your hand if you’ve been personally touched by this adorable proposal! Mean Girls actor Jonathan Bennet is engaged to longtime boyfriend and TV host Jaymes Vaughn! Bennett told People he was completely surprised by the sweet proposal. To top it off, Vaughn even recorded a song to propose to Bennett, which he wrote while Bennett was off filming The Christmas House, the first Hallmark holiday movie to feature a gay lead. “I heard a song playing from a place I didn’t even realize we had a speaker and Jaymes told me to just listen,” Bennett told People. “It was Jaymes’s voice singing the most beautiful song I had ever heard, a song about our relationship.” The two have been together since 2017.

Vaughn popped the question over the Thanksgiving holiday with custom engagement rings he designed with the help of Kay Jewelers and their social platform The Union, which offers proposal and engagement advice. The same-sex engagement rings are platinum bands with a brushed satin finish adorned with diamonds on one side of the band—made to be turned over once they’ve tied the knot.

“I told Kay I had an idea to create something not only for our special moment but something other LGBTQ+ couples might be inspired by for their rings too. The idea of the ring, in general, is really special because at its core it’s symbolic. It’s symbolic of the union between two people and its symbolic of what the relationship is to those two people.," said Vaughan of the unique rings..
