Celebrities Who Revealed What They Did With Their Engagement Rings After a Split: Emily Ratajkowski, Drake and More

A reminder of their ex. Emily Ratajkowski, Drake, Shanna Moakler and more celebrities have been candid about what they’ve done with their engagement rings after things didn’t work out with their respective partners. While speaking to Tommy Dorfman on a January 2023 episode of the “High Low” podcast, Ratajkowski admitted she still had her wedding ring from Sebastian Bear-McClard following their 2022 breakup. “Every time I hear a divorce story or when I see the news, I have to remind myself, ‘Oh that’s sad.’ I literally say to people, ‘Good for you,’” the Gone Girl actress quipped at the time. The We Are Your Friends star and the producer went public with their relationship in early 2018 and married weeks later in a surprise courthouse ceremony. The pair welcomed son Sylvester in March 2021. Rumors swirled in June 2022 that the two called it quits after Ratajkowski was spotted not donning her ring. Us Weekly confirmed one month later that they split after four years of marriage. Drake, for his part, thought about proposing to many of his partners over the years — but he ultimately decided against it and had a collection of rings stashed away. However, the rapper took a unique approach when it came to keeping the old mementos. In December 2022, the Canada native had a diamond necklace made out of rings he never used. [jwplayer nm8B8MqW-zhNYySv2] “New piece titled ‘Previous Engagements’ for all the times he thought about it but never did it,” jewelry designer Alex Moss shared via Instagram at the time. “42 engagement rings, 351.38 carats in diamonds. By Alex Moss New York & Drake.” After the lavish neck piece was unveiled, Drake was seen sporting the diamond chain while performing during Lil Baby‘s concert in Atlanta in December 2022. The “God’s Plan” artist never specified which rings were meant for who, but he has been previously linked to Rihanna, Serena Williams, Tyra Banks, Kat Dennings, Jennifer Lopez and more. Drake also had a relationship with model Sophie Brussaux, with whom he shares son Adonis. Moakler, for her part, opted not to keep her ring from ex-husband Travis Barker — whom she was married to from 2004 to 2008. Instead, the Celebrity Big Brother alum auctioned off the Blink-182 drummer’s ring five days after he and Kourtney Kardashian tied the knot in Italy. Moakler exclusively told Us that the timing of her decision to sell the piece of jewelry was a coincidence. “I’m sure people would assume that [it’s related to the wedding], but I simply wanted to find a proper seller and Worthy.com is the most professional and I know will give this piece the attention it deserves,” she said in May 2022.

Shanna Moakler

The former beauty queen sold the ring from her marriage to Barker via auction. It ended up going for $96,500.

“Nobody expects a happy marriage to end … and nobody ever hopes to let go of sentimental and valuable things,” she exclusively told Us at the time. “I wanted to thank worthy.com for making the most out of a beautiful time in my life. I hope the highest bidder truly loves the piece as much as I did.”

Jana Kramer

The One Tree Hill alum admitted she put both rings that ex Mike Caussin got her up for sale. The twosome married in 2015 and separated in 2016 after Kramer learned that the former NFL player was unfaithful. However, the two rekindled their romance and renewed their vows in 2017 but ultimately split again in 2021. On a June 2021 episode of her “Whine Down” podcast, the “I’ve Got the Boy” singer revealed she used the funds from the sale of her second wedding ring to renovate her home.

“I sold my ring. And that money from the ring paid for the furniture and the new additions to the house,” she said at the time. “I debated. I was like, ‘I’m going to sell this ring and then maybe buy myself something.’ Like a bag. My divorce present. [But] I was like, ‘Honestly, what would make me happiest is to have new energy in the house.’ So I took that money and gave it to my [interior designers].”

Luke Gulbranson

The Summer House star decided to sell the engagement ring he bought for ex Hannah Berner and donate part of the cash to a good cause. The reality star teamed up with IDoNowIDont.com in August 2020 to auction off a stunning Tiffany & Co. engagement ring, and chose to give a portion to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

“I realized I could make something good out of something bad by donating a portion of the proceeds to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society,” he told Us at the time. “I’d like to raise as much money from selling my ring and if it will benefit others, then this whole experience was a blessing in disguise.”
