On January 11, the media photographed NBA star Ben Simmons and British popular host Maya Jama out of Philadelphia, which was also the first public appearance of the two after rumors of being engaged. The huge diamond ring that Jama wore on her hand also hammered the news of the engagement of the two, and according to experts, the diamond ring was worth about $800,000.
The 25-year-old Simmons and the 27-year-old Jama began dating at the end of June last year, the outside world was initially not optimistic about the sister-brother love, first of all, Simmons is also a playboy, before dating Jama, the kendou ex-boyfriend often has some scandals. Second, Simmons is in the United States and Jama in the United Kingdom, and most of the time they spend less and more time together. However, what people did not expect was that the long-distance relationship finally came to fruition. After only 7 months in love, Simmons reportedly proposed to Jama at Christmas.
As you can see from the photos taken by the media, the two are dressed in sports clothes, each holding a cup of coffee, and they have just left the gym. Simmons smiled and felt very good, while Jama appeared in the film with a plain face and sentenced the two after makeup.
The diamond ring on Jama's hand is very dazzling and expensive at first glance. In an interview with the Daily Mail, gemologist Alexandra Michel said: "This is a classic elegant emerald-cut diamond ring with trapezoidal edges, white gold or platinum base. The main diamond appears to weigh about 10 carats. It could be a very clean gem as it was emerald cut and looked very white. I estimate it retails for over $800,000. ”
The diamond ring Simmons reportedly bought at a Philadelphia jewelry store the day before the marriage proposal was carefully selected for Gemma himself. A friend revealed: "Simmons was very fond of Maya and fascinated by her. ”
Although the love scene was triumphant, Simmons did not go well on the court. Thompson has returned from injury and Irving has been allowed to play in the Nets' away games, but Simmons has not yet played this season. Today, he is still the top player in the trading market, and there are not a few teams interested in him. In addition to the Kings, Trail Blazers, Timberwolves and Pacers, who have been negotiating trades with the 76ers before, the Hawks seem to have joined the war recently. They also have a lot of chips in their hands, hoping to bring in Simmons, add an offensive launch point and improve the team's defensive strength. However, the asking price on the 76ers side is still very high, there is no sign of concessions, and the difficulty of the transaction can be imagined.
