The Met Gala last Monday proved to be a shining moment for Hollywood stars. In fact, one star that stole the show was 23-year-old model Kate Upton. During the event, she flashed a stunning diamond ring to let everyone know of her engagement to 33-year-old Justin Verlander.
When asked about this, she revealed to E! News that she is "really excited" for the next stage in her life as wife to Justin, a starting pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. She also added, "He asked me right before season started so we've been keeping it on the down low for quite a while."
She also added, "I'm excited to finally be able to share it with the world!" But apparently the couple is in no rush to tie the knot and are currently "enjoying the engagement period."
Back to the gorgeous ring she now wears proudly, Daily Mail UK reported that it was designed by no less than the couple themselves. Kate Upton and Justin Verlander have been dating for over three years.

Her right arm was covered in a full sleeve while her left arm was left exposed; it was the perfect design to show off her beautiful engagement ring.
