Congratulations to Emma Roberts, who this week announced her engagement to the actor Cody John. The couple has been dating since 2022. “Putting this here before my mom tells everyone,” Roberts captioned the Instagram post, referencing the time her mother Kelly Cunningham became the first to confirm her pregnancy via an Instagram comment to a fan in 2020.
Cue: a series of replies from Lindsay Lohan, Julianne Hough, and Lea Michele: “Congrats!!!!!!!” and, “Yesssss” and, “Already planning the bachelorette!!!! So happy for you babe!!!”, respectively. The ring itself is reported to have cost $180,000—a relatively modest sum in the celebscape, considering Hailey Bieber’s second wedding band is allegedly worth around $1.5 million—and features a classic, single diamond solitaire set on a hefty gold band.
“It’s a stunning 3.5-carat round-cut diamond in a solitaire setting,” according to UK jeweler Zack Stone. “But Emma has opted for a thick gold band, which is an unconventional choice since most people favor a thin band in order to accentuate the size of their diamond. It’s a timeless choice for an engagement ring, symbolic of eternal love.” Roberts selfied this bucolic announcement in a puff-sleeved Dôen top—the same blouse Taylor Swift owns in pink—with an enormous grin. (A sizable engagement ring will do that to a person.)
