DULÉ HILL AND JAZMYN SIMON
West Wing actor Dulé Hill went all out with his proposal to actress Jazmyn Simon. The star popped the question with a giant oval cut diamond with a simple, clean band, and then surpried his future wife with mimosas and a romantic hot air balloon trip.

NICOLE WILLIAMS AND LARRY ENGLISH

LADY GAGA & TAYLOR KINNEY
Amazingly, the heart-shaped diamond on her Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring from her actor love isn’t the most interesting part of Gaga’s engagement ring. The diamond-studded band features a sweet message: T (HEARTS) S (her given name is Stefani). The couple split in July 2016 but remain friends.

Everything about the actress’s engagement to her actor beau was traditional, from her large halo-set ring to the on-one-knee proposal, though it took a little effort: “I had just bought these new jeans and they were a little tight,” Peter joked to PEOPLE at the time. “So I said, ‘My jeans are tight but I’ll try to get down on one knee.’” (The couple ended their engagement in February 2016.)
IGGY AZALEA & NICK YOUNG
Yes, it’s a “Fancy” yellow diamond – and one that took a lot of effort before it reached the rapper’s finger.
