Congratulations are in order for the celebrity engagements of 2021. So far this year, Hollywood has seen engagements from secret couples, reality TV stars and former First Family members. And, if we know anything about stars, there are more celebrity engagements to come in 2021.
The celebrity engagements of 2021 come after stars such as Ariana Grande, Maria Sharapova, Demi Lovato and Lana Del Rey put a ring on it in 2020. Though not all of the these stars walked down the aisle (Lovato called off her engagement to Max Ehrich two months after he proposed), these engagements still reminded us that there was some good out of the dumpster fire we now know as 2020. “I am so excited to welcome Dalton Gomez into our family! Ariana, I love you and Dalton so much!!!! Here’s to happily ever after! YAY! xoxoxo,” Grande’s mom, Joan Grande, tweeted in December 2020 after the “Thank U Next” singer’s engagement to real estate agent Dalton Gomez.
Despite the train wreck of 2020, there was still a lot of love in Hollywood. And from the look of the celebrity engagements of 2021, that same love is continuing this year. From politicians to reality TV stars, take a look at all the celebrity engagements of 2021 so far.

We’re marrying, it’s happening.”
The engagement came two years after Stewart told Stern that she couldn’t “f—king wait” to propose to Meyer after just three months of dating at the time. “I want to be, like, sort of somewhat reasonable about it, but I think good things happen fast,” Stewart said. “I have a couple plans that are just the coolest things to do. I’m really impulsive. I don’t know when it’s going to be.” Stewart and Meyer, a screenwriter, met eight years ago, but didn’t start dating until they reunited at a mutual friend’s party in 2019.

You are the most incredible partner. Thank you for loving me, championing me and asking me to marry you. Here’s to the next amazing chapter, and all the rest ”
The engagement ring was designed by McClave Jewelers. According to Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, the ring is three or four carats with a yellow or rose gold band and worth around $100,000. “I estimate the value to be near $100,000 but potentially more depending on the quality of the diamond,” he said. “Her ring exemplifies a timeless look.”
According to Weddingwire, engagement rings on The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise range from $45,000 to $100,000. In a 2016 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Harrison revealed that Bachelor Nation couples have to stay together for a certain amount of time, otherwise they have to return the free engagement ring to Neil Lane, the designer for almost all Bachelor Nation rings. “There’s some rule, after a certain number of years, you get to keep it anyway,” he said. “But after months… it goes back.”
Lane told StyleCaster in 2016 that he doesn’t know where the rings go, but that he designs them with the hope that the couple to stays together. “I make rings hoping that people stay together forever, but after they get the ring, I don’t have a say in it, and what happens after that, I don’t know,” he said. “Where the ring goes, I have to say, I don’t really know. I just say it goes to ring heaven.”

I was told right now in the conservatorship, I’m not able to get married or have a baby, I have a (IUD) inside of myself right now so I don’t get pregnant,” she said at the time. “I wanted to take the (IUD) out so I could start trying to have another baby. But this so-called team won’t let me go to the doctor to take it out because they don’t want me to have children – any more children.

It’s not a place where I harbor ill will or anything.” She continued, “I was a very naïve 21-year-old kid, and that’s all there is to it.”
