AJ Odudu left fans stunned after sharing loved up snaps with mystery man - but now it's her 1.5-carat diamond ring that has people obsessed and experts revealing the value
AJ Odudu 's huge diamond ring has wowed fans ever since she announced her engagement to her fiancé last week.
The Celebrity Big Brother host, 37, stunned followers last month when she shared a series of flirty black-and-white photo booth snaps with her previously unknown partner. Captioning the post 'Hiya love' alongside a heart, ring and puppy-eyes emoji, it marked the first time AJ had made her relationship Instagram official.
‌
In one of the shots, AJ proudly flashes a giant diamond ring while wearing a sheer feathered gown, as her fiancé dressed in a sharp cream suit over a black tank wraps his arms around her.
‌
Fans were left shocked, as the presenter hadn't given any clues she was even dating, with many assuming she was single.
While she's yet to reveal his name, the couple look totally smitten and AJ seems happy keeping the mystery alive for now.
But one thing that's no mystery is the ring.
Jewellery expert Zack Stone, from UK retailer Steven Stone said 'AJ's engagement ring is a stunning piece that speaks volumes - both in design and sentiment.'
‌
'The centre stone is set in a cluster setting, where smaller diamonds delicately encircle the main gem, enhancing its brilliance and symbolizing the strength and support of a close-knit bond.'
"The entire setting appears to be crafted in classic yellow gold, a timeless choice that represents warmth, tradition, and enduring love.'
"Altogether, it's a ring that blends elegance with meaningful symbolism - a truly fitting piece for such a joyful announcement. I'd estimate it to be worth $20,000."
‌
Until now, AJ was thought to be single.
Back in 2021, romance rumours swirled when she was paired with Kai Widdrington on Strictly Come Dancing, but the duo laughed off speculation during an appearance on It Takes Two.
‌
Kai said: 'If people react like this, then it means we're doing something right because that's how the dance is meant to be danced.'
But AJ's love life hasn't always been smooth sailing.
‌
She previously revealed: 'All my past relationships have gone wrong. Dating apps have failed to deliver. Sometimes I'm just too much for them - other times, they're not enough for me.'
She also heartbreakingly shared that three of her exes cheated - one of them with someone very close to her.
'One of them was sleeping with my best friend,' she said, 'to walk in on that, I was stunned.'
'I wasn't hysterical. I didn't burst into tears or anything like that - however, I proceeded to have years of tears and years of trauma away from him.' she added
But after everything she's been through, it finally looks like AJ has found her forever love.
