Get ready to pop the champagne as Maya Jama is reportedly engaged to Ben Simmons.
The news is out that the 25-year-old basketball player supposedly popped the question during Christmas, asking Maya, 27, to tie the knot. Now, in recent snaps from the Daily Mail, the star has been spotted with a huge engagement ring on her finger.
The images show Maya and Ben walking to the gym in Philadelphia, revealing a stunning sparkler which undeniably takes the limelight.
Here at Steven Stone, we love celebrity engagement rings and couldn’t wait to get a close look at the ring in question. To reveal everything you need to know, our experts analysed the images – and were blown away by the size of the stone.
How did Maya and Ben meet?
Maya and Ben officially marked their relationship at Wimbledon in 2021, however rumours of their relationship first sparked back in 2019.
Before Ben, Maya most famously dated rapper, Stormzy, for four years. However, the pair split after cheating allegations were made against him, which he has since denied.
On his album ‘Heavy is the Head’, some song lyrics suggest the rapper still mourns the loss of his ex. In the song ‘Lessons’, he says: “Now my nephews still asking for their auntie Maya, I guess this is karma for what i done to Maya’.
Maya’s Engagement Ring
Ben repotedly picked up the ring on Jewelers’ Row in the diamond district of Philadelphia the day before he proposed. He confidently chose the ring himself.
The sparkler boasts a 10 stone emerald cut diamond, set on what appears to be a white gold or platinum band.
According to our experts, it’s worth around £500,000 ($695,000).
“Maya Jama’s ring is sensational. From the images it looks to be an emerald cut diamond set on a white gold or platinum band. The centre stone is around 10 carats, which is huge, and will no doubt be of the highest quality. With this in mind, it could be worth around £500,000 ($695,000) on today’s market.
Emerald cut stones have been a popular choice from celebrities in the last 12 months, with Paris Hilton, Porsha Williams, and Bethenny Frankel all opting for this style in 2021.
Paris Hilton’s emerald cut ring is a whopping 20cts and has an estimated value of $2,000,000. Porsha Williams is 15cts and worth around $1,250,000, whilst Bethenny Frankel’s 10ct solitaire ring is worth a staggering $1,000,000.”
