Rob Kardashian dropped $325K on Blac Chyna’s 7-carat engagement ring
Robert Bradley As we learned yesterday, Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian are engaged. He proposed to her Monday evening, and they went out celebrating that night, then announced the engagement in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Since then, the reaction has been… sort of funny. The Kardashians aren’t saying sh-t about it publicly. Twitter is having a field day. TMZ has run no fewer than eight stories about the engagement. All in all, everything feels pretty scandalous/stupid. So, here are some more stories about it!
The proposal & ring. TMZ says Rob dropped $325K on the engagement ring and the reason why it looks so much like Kim Kardashian’s engagement ring is because Rob went to Kanye’s favorite jeweler Ben Baller. The ring is a “7 carat, round brilliant cut diamond. VS1 clarity — in a VVS diamond eternity band setting.” For the proposal, Rob covered a room in Blac Chyna’s house in rose petals – as in, he killed 500 roses for the proposal – and he lit a ton of candles. He got down on one knee and she said yes right away.
Blac Chyna’s real name. When they get married, she’s going to be Angela Kardashian.
The Kardashians are not happy. Khloe has been actively ignoring the story on social media. It helps that Kris Jenner and the Kardashian ladies are on vacation in Vail right now. According to TMZ, Rob “blindsided” his family and he didn’t tell anyone that he was going to propose: “Sources familiar with the situation tell us, Rob went to great lengths to keep Kim and company in the dark. We’re told the proposal was ‘aggressively on the QT.’” He apparently planned the proposal around the Kardashians’ trip to Vail because he didn’t want them to be in the same city. TMZ also has a Kardashian-family perspective story, in which sources basically say that the family’s not mad, they just think he’s flaky and that the engagement won’t stick.
Here’s a closer look at her ring – in closeup, it doesn’t look as much like Kim’s ring. It’s still sort of pretty though, I do like it. But I do wonder how Rob “Sock Mogul” afforded it.
