Hollywood actors Kate Bosworth and Justin Long announced they are engaged to be married. The “Going the Distance” actor proposed to Bosworth in an intimate setting with a beautiful engagement ring.
Read on to discover more about the proposal, their relationship, and the gigantic diamond ring the actress received.
How Did It Happen?
Justin announced the engagement to Kate via Instagram post on April 4, 2023, and included pictures of them enjoying each other’s company. In a couple of the images, Kate showcases her gorgeous engagement ring. The couple is happier than ever after two years of dating.
Here’s how the actor proposed to his beautiful bride-to-be.
In Justin’s podcast “Life is Short,” the engaged couple discussed how everything went down. The actor revealed that he had a very well-thought-out plan. He intended to propose to Kate around her birthday in January—however, his initial idea fell through due to the couple’s personal problems. The actors refused to reveal more about what happened.
The proposal was unexpected and came naturally, said Justin during the podcast. And it all came down to advice the newly engaged couple received from their therapist. Kate shared that they were trying to work things out and were going through a tough time. The great advice from the therapist that helped them was, “Make sure that you’re pretty consistently asking the other what you need or asking the other what they need.”
The Intimate and Romantic Proposal
A few days after they visited the therapist, Kate woke up with a smile and asked Justin, “What do you need?” following the advice. Justin answered with a serious look that he wanted to spend his life with the actress. When she responded that he already had that, he replied, “No, I mean, I really want to spend my life with you.”
On his podcast, Justin said that they embarked on a new chapter. He added that the words came out organically and felt natural and right. That moment felt connected to what they were going through at the time, which was profound. It was a real life changer, a 44-year-old admitted. At the same time, the actress added that the proposal was the most romantic, loving, and honest approach.
They later decided to share the news during the podcast, so Justin invited his bride-to-be to it. He admitted that the best way to discuss something private is when talking to the person with whom you feel most comfortable. Kate added that since they would be asked about it anyway, they might as well do it while talking to each other.
How Did They Meet?
At the beginning of their relationship, Kate and Justin kept their relationship private. The first rumors about the two being together appeared in 2021 when Kate posted photos of her and her husband-to-be goofing around and enjoying each other’s company. Soon after that, in December 2021, Justin admitted having a girlfriend on an episode of his podcast but didn’t reveal her name.
The two actors met while filming a horror movie, “House of Darkness,” in 2021. However, the couple wasn’t cautious in public. In April 2022, they were seen kissing on the beach in Hawaii, and a month later, they were spotted holding hands while strolling down the streets of New York. Later that month, the couple officially announced their relationship on Instagram while drinking beer in an Irish pub.
Long first opened up about his relationship with Bosworth on a “Dear Chelsea” podcast. He revealed that he never felt anything like this before and that being in love was a wonderful feeling. The Hollywood actor added that this relationship is something sacred he wants to protect and keep.
Let’s Hear More About the Ring
Justin Long proposed to his co-star with a stunning brilliant diamond engagement ring in a solitaire setting. The diamond is set on a thin band, making the center stone look even more impressive. The cushion cut diamond weighs a whopping 8 carats. The colossal diamond is what everyone will focus on when Kate enters a room, and a thin band helps the diamond receive maximum light.
A cushion cut diamond ring is associated with femininity and power. It has a rectangular or square shape with soft curved edges, resembling a pillow with its square shape and rounded corners. This cut has a brilliant style and gives an antique or vintage look. Cushion cut diamonds show a high level of fire and brilliance, reflecting light better. These diamonds are also exceptionally durable due to their round edges.
Clarity and Color
The critical thing for clarity in cushion cut diamonds is whether it’s a crushed-ice cushion or an antique. The former is a much better choice considering it hides inclusions better. When on a budget, the best thing to do is to aim for the lowest possible clarity that is “eye-clean.” Since cushion cut diamonds have a large top surface (“table”), finding an excellent eye-clean clarity grade might be difficult.
In addition, a diamond’s color is an important factor in determining its quality. Contrary to how it sounds, a diamond’s color typically refers to how clear the diamond appears. White diamonds are often considered completely clear, which is not always true. The difference between a clear diamond and one with traces can be unnoticeable to the naked eye, but experts can tell.
Each diamond has a unique color, and since they come from the ground, they contain elements that will impact their appearance. Colorless diamonds don’t have any yellow or brown tint, and they look transparent. In contrast, near colorless diamonds may show a slight tint but is nearly invisible without a magnifying glass. These diamonds are a better choice since they are more affordable and have the same aesthetic appeal.
How Much Is the Ring Worth?
Estimating the price of an engagement diamond ring can be tricky sometimes. The 4Cs (cut, color, clarity, carat) must be considered before evaluating the ring’s worth. We already talked about the cut of Kate’s diamond, a cushion cut, and the color and clarity best for this type of engagement ring.
Carat weight is also one of the factors we need to consider. Kate Bosworth’s diamond ring is estimated to be worth $800,000. Her engagement diamond ring is eight times bigger than the average 1-carat ring.
