Millie Bobby Brown doesn't usually shy away from sharing loved-up photos of herself with her boyfriend-of-three-years, Jake Bongiovi. But a post shared by the Stranger Things star on Tuesday, April 11 has topped them all as the actor has revealed that she is engaged.

Brown, 19, shared a black and white shot of herself and Bongiovi, the son of legendary singer Jon Bon Jovi, which was seemingly taken on a beach. The pair are both beaming from ear to ear, with Brown appearing to be teary-eyed. In the snap, Bongiovi wraps his arms around the actor as she splays her hand over his forearm, spotlighting what looks to be a pavé-set cushion-cut diamond ring.

As if setting the tone for her future nuptials, Brown wore a guipure lace look with frilled cuffs. She sweetly captioned the phoot on Instagram: 'I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all.'

Chris Appleton and Lukas Gage

Just a few weeks after going Instagram official with their relationship, it seems that celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton and actor Lukas Gage are in fact engaged.

A source confirmed the news to E! earlier this week, after rumours began swirling when both Appleton and Gage were spotted wearing rings at the Fashion Trust US Awards. The 39-year-old hair guru wore what looked like a classic white gold band, while the 27-year-old You and The White Lotus star's ring featured diamonds.

The pair are yet to speak publicly about their engagement, and been tight-lipped about their relationship in general – save for a few Instagram posts and confirming they are 'madly in love' in recent interviews.

We can't wait to hear more...

Congratulations are in order for Lana Del Rey, who according to Billboard is officially engaged!

The news comes after the 37-year-old singer was spotted earlier this month at the Billboard Music Awards, showing off what looked like a huge diamond engagement ring. Sources have now confirmed to Billboard that Del Rey is indeed engaged to Evan Winiker, her boyfriend of less than a year.

Del Rey and Winiker have been incredibly private about their relationship, but have been spotted together in public a handful of times over the past few months. Winiker is the managing partner of a successful talent agency, as well as being a musician himself who was in the band Steel Train.

Here's hoping we're treated to some wedding pictures!

The rumours have been swirling ever since last week, when Kate Bosworth wore what appeared to be a very impressive diamond engagement ring when posing with Justin Long at the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party...

And now, a source has confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that the pair are indeed engaged to be married. Hurrah!

'They are both thrilled, and their loved ones are incredibly happy for them,' the source told the news outlet. 'They make an amazing couple and they're so excited.'

The actors were first rumoured to be an item in 2021, when they worked together on a film entitled House Of Darkness. Bosworth, meanwhile, announced last year that she was divorcing from Michael Polish, her husband of almost eight years.

Bosworth and Long have been very private about their relationship, and only became 'Instagram official' in May 2022. Neither has yet confirmed the engagement news.

Rebel Wilson and Ramona Agruma

Congratulations are in order for Rebel Wilson and her girlfriend Ramona Agruma, who have announced that they are engaged. Less than a year after going Instagram official with their relationship in June 2022, the 42-year-old Pitch Perfect actor surprised Agruma by proposing with a stunning Tiffany & Co. ring at Disneyland. Wilson shared a series of snaps to her Instagram feed of the couple in matching pink striped jumpers, kneeling in front of a Disney princess castle and surrounded by pink roses as she popped the question.

6

Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker

Vanessa Hudgens and boyfriend of three years Cole Tucker are set to tie the knot. Following reports from TMZ Sports that the couple got engaged at the end of 2022, Vanessa Hudgens has confirmed the news by sharing a series of photos on Instagram with the caption 'YES. We couldn't be happier 🤍'.

Per the photos, baseball player Tucker popped the question in Paris, in front of a glittering Tour Eiffel with a ring consisting of a simple gold band and a gigantic oval-cut diamond.

Tucker and Hudgens have been dating since 2020, and met during a remote meditation session on Zoom. Hudgens admitted it was 'very random' but that she felt compelled to make the first move – and promptly slid into the Pittsburgh Pirates player's DMs. The rest, as they say, is history.

Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton are officially engaged, after falling in love on the set of West End production Betrayal in 2019.

The pair attended the BAFTA Film Awards together earlier this year, but it wasn't until AJ Odudu posted images from the after-party on Instagram that fans spotted Ashton wearing a rather impressive engagement ring – which she had managed to keep concealed from photographers until then.

In June 2022, Hiddleston confirmed the engagement during an interview with LA Times, saying: 'I'm very happy.'

From what we can see, the spectacular ring features an enormous oval-cut diamond surrounded by a halo of smaller diamonds. The Diamond Pro estimates the centre diamond to be a whopping 5 carats, and the total value to be close to $150,000 (around £115,00).

Now that's not the kind of ring that can be easily hidden...

Jessica Szohr and Brad Richardson

Gossip Girl alumni Jessica Szohr, who starred as Vanessa Abrams in the hit teenage high school drama, announced her engagement to NHL star Brad Richardson on May 16.

Her post shows a cute photo of the pair snuggled up and a close-up of her shiny new rock.

She captioned the shot: 'I said yes!'

Richardson shared the same photo to his own page.

Szohr's Gossip Girl co-star Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald) was amongst those to congratulate the pair, writing: 'Love you guys.'

When announcing her pregnancy in September 2020, Szohr shared a photo of Richardson staring at her bump while she looked giddy.

She wrote in an accompanying caption: 'Full of joy!'

She shared a photo of the proposal to her Instagram feed, showing Grainge getting down on one knee at the Four Seasons Hualalai, against a romantic candle-lit backdrop.

Another close-up of the pair kissing showed Richie's stunning emerald-cut ring.

In an accompanying caption, she wrote: 'Forever isn't long enough'.

According to Apeksha Kothari, COO of Rare Carat, via Page Six, the diamond could be as large as eight carats, with a value of up to £306,195 ($400,000).

Richie and Grainge have been reportedly dating for a year.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez confirmed her engagement to Ben Affleck on April 8.

She shared an emotional video to her official website which depicted the musician crying while in awe of her emerald engagement ring.

While the video didn't show Affleck, we got a close-up look at her sparkler, which is finished with two side-stones.

The video showed her ring at first, before zooming into her face, at which point she was seen wiping away happy tears.

The singer was also heard whispering 'I am perfect' to the song that played along with the video.

Lopez and Affleck were first engaged in 2004, but their engagement was eventually called off.

They reunited 17 years later in May 2021.

Avril Lavigne and Mod Sun

Not long after talking about complicated relationships and finding love after divorce, Avril Lavigne announced her engagement to 34-year-old musician Mod Sun on April 7, 2022.

Sun popped the question to Lavigne in Paris with a stunning ring that blends the traditional round diamond with a contemporary heart-shaped halo.

The Diamond Pro said the ring, estimated to be worth $75,000 (£57,511), appears to boast a 3-carat diamond.

When previously speaking to People, Lavigne said she would 'of course' get married again. This was while addressing her break-up from her second husband Chad Kroeger.

But she insisted: 'I don’t really care so much about that; I just care about being in a healthy relationship and just being happy.'

Following this, the twice-divorced singer, who released album Lov Sux in February and addressed heartbreak on her 2019 album Head Above Water, told FAULT Magazine earlier this year: 'Yes, love is hard and relationships are not easy.

'It's not easy for anybody and I've now lived long enough to realise that I need to prioritise myself and take care of myself.'

After four years of dating and one child together, actor Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin are engaged, People reported.

Song, who welcomed her and Culkin's baby son Dakota in April 2021, was spotted wearing a huge diamond engagement ring while out in Beverly Hills.

The couple tend to keep the details of their relationship private, but back in 2020, Song marked Culkin's 40th birthday with a sweet message on Instagram, where she referred to him as a 'magical being'.

'I could sit here and write endlessly about how wonderful, kind, loving, genuine, loyal, honest, brilliant and hilarious you are, and how grateful I am that I get to share and do this life thing with you,' read the message.

And in the same year, ahead of having their first child, Culkin opened up about their hopes of starting a family.

He told Esquire: 'We practice a lot.

'We’re figuring it out, making the timing work. Because nothing turns you on more than when your lady comes into the room and says, "Honey, I’m ovulating."'

Romee Strijd

After 12 years of dating partner Laurens van Leeuwen, Romee Strijd and the father of her one-year-old daughter, Mint, are engaged.

The Victoria's Secret model announced the news by way of an Instagram post, which showed the moment clothing line founder Leeuwen proposed.

The 26-year-old's fiancé did the traditional thing and got down on one knee while on the slopes in Switzerland, during the couple's ski break.

Strijd, who rocked an alpine chic look accessorised with dark tinted Dior sunglasses at the time of the proposal, can be seen beaming from ear to ear in the photos she posted to the social media platform.

Strijd's classic two-tone round brilliant-cut diamond 'Whisper Thin Trio' ring, designed by Ring Concierge Fine Jewelry, is subtly accentuated by three pavé diamonds on either side of the centre stone.

It was chosen to resonate with Strijd's nonchalant style, per People.

The jewellery brand's founder, Nicole Wegman, told the news outlet: 'The couple had a trip planned to Switzerland to celebrate their 12th anniversary so Laurens decided that was the perfect opportunity to surprise Romee with her dream ring.'

Wegman added: 'He selected a Round Brilliant Cut because they are as timeless as it gets and are cut to maximise sparkle.'

The Mean Girls star accompanied the photos with a sweet caption that read: 'My love. My life. My family. My future,' followed by a ring emoji.
