Rap Phone Gun Kelly with actress Megan Fox
Megan Fox is engaged to her rapper partner, Machine Gun Kelly.
Born in Colson Baker, Kelly proposed to the actress under a banyan tree the couple claimed to have fallen in love in 2020.
The rapper presented Fox with a striking emerald and diamond ring combination that he had designed with British jewelry designer Stephen Webster. The stones represent each of their birthstones, emeralds represent Fox on May 16, and diamonds represent Kelly born on April 22.
"I know tradition is a ring, but I designed two rings with Stephen Webster: emerald (her birthstone) and diamond (my birthstone) set in two magnetic ribbons of thorns that pull together like two halves of the same soul, forming the obscure heart of our love.
How much is Megan Fox's engagement ring worth?

Jeweler Mehul Pethani of Cara Jewellers in Dubai estimates that the pear-shaped diamond weighs about three carats, while the emerald diamond weighs about five carats.
According to Pethani, buying a ring in Dubai will cost AED 250,000 ($68,000), depending on the cut and clarity.
"It's a very different style," Pethani said of the ring style. "A lot of people don't just want to buy a diamond, so they combine [it] with gemstones of different colors like emeralds, sapphires and rubies.
Combining gemstones together, he said, can result in an "elegant" design inspired by the royal jewelry style.
How does Megan Fox's ring compare to other celebrity engagement rings?
Fox's relationship with Kelly is on par with Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's high-profile romance.
Kardashian, 42, and Blink-182 drummer Buck, 45, got engaged on a beach in Montesito, California, in October. He placed a large pile of roses and candles on the sand and surrounded the couple when he proposed. The couple has been together since 2020.
The ring is a large oval diamond set in a thin white or platinum band designed by celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz.
"It's a flawless, beautifully cut diamond," Schwartz told People magazine. "I work with Travis and he's a very important part of that. Throughout the production process, he really did it himself. It's gorgeous and they're happy.
Pethani estimates that the diamond weighs between 8 and 10 carats. To buy a ring in the UAE, it will cost AED 600,000 to AED 1.5 million ($163,000 to US$408,000), depending on the cut and clarity.
