Tennis pro Aryna Sabalenka is a huge fan of her engagement ring from entrepreneur Georgios Frangulis.
Sabalenka, 27, gushed about her massive sparkler at a press conference during the Indian Wells Open, which takes place in Palm Springs, California, and concludes on Sunday, March 15. When asked why she decided to keep her diamond ring on while playing, Sabalenka answered, “We double checked if there’s a possibility to lose a diamond, and there’s none, so I was pretty confident wearing this ring.”
She added, “It feels pretty comfy. It feels shiny.” Sabalenka also laughed, “I hope that my opponent will get distracted by this diamond and it’s going to benefit me.”
Fans shared their reactions in the comments section. “QUEEEEEEEN,” one gushed. A second added, “You are the biggest diamond????❤️,” while a third commented, “Diamond of the season ????.”
Sabalenka first announced her engagement on March 4 via Instagram. She shared a sweet video of Frangulis, 37, getting down on one knee and proposing with an oval diamond set on a band with even more stones. The ring, which is estimated to be 12-carats, cost around $1 million, per Diamond World.
The couple were surrounded by flowers and candles when he popped the question. Sabalenka put her hands over her mouth while beaming. She rocked blue jeans and a white T-shirt with her blonde hair worn in a braid.
“You & me, forever ♾️ 3.3.26 ????????,” she captioned the post.
Elsewhere on social media, Sabalenka showed off a zoomed-in photo of her ring while giving Frangulis a kiss. “I can finally call him something else… FIANCÉ ????,” she wrote beside the photos. Celebrities congratulated her in the comments section.
“????,” Sofía Vergara wrote, while Lily Collins added, “Omg yesssss ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Frangulis also commented, “Pra sempre meu amor,” which translates to “Forever my love.”
