Emily Atack and Alistair Garner are officially engaged! The exciting news comes just over a year after the couple welcomed their baby boy, Barney, in June 2024.
The ‘Inbetweeners’ star shared the announcement on Instagram on Friday, 18th July, posting a heartwarming photo alongside a nod to The Cure’s ‘Friday I’m In Love’. In the picture, a glowing Emily is seen hugging Alistair and proudly showing off her stunning diamond ring in a garden setting.
Engagement ring experts at UK retailer Steven Stone have taken a closer look at the sparkler, uncovering its symbolic meaning, design details, and estimated value.

“Featuring a 2-carat emerald-cut diamond, Emily’s engagement ring is the definition of timeless elegance. More than just a beautiful choice, the emerald cut is rich in symbolism – representing strength, clarity, and resilience. These qualities closely align with the journey of motherhood, making the ring especially meaningful as the couple celebrates life with their first child, born last year.
The rectangular diamond is set in a classic solitaire design. Naturally refined and minimalist, the setting allows the striking centre stone to take full focus.
I’d estimate the ring’s value at approximately $35,000 – modest by celebrity standards. For comparison, the most valuable engagement ring of 2025 so far is Natalie Viscuso’s $1 million oval-cut diamond from Henry Cavill.”
