"Sex bomb" Kate Upton engaged, showing off 8 carat diamond ring

Supermodel Kate Upton has officially shared her engagement to baseball player Justin Verlander with the press.

On the red carpet of Met Gala 2016 on May 2 (US time), the 23-year-old beauty officially showed off her engagement ring with an 8-carat center diamond, designed by her fiancé.

Justin Verlander and Kate Upton started dating in 2012, after a short breakup, they reconciled their relationship. The Detroit Tigers player has an oversized face, a sloppy dress sense, and often has a beard, so he is compared to a "chipmunk". In terms of appearance, Justin is completely incompatible with the sexiest supermodel girlfriend on the planet. However, this "mismatched" couple in appearance still lives happily. When asked about the secret to keeping the fire of love, Kate Upton confided: "We are open with each other, and play the role of each other's best friend. He is definitely my best friend."
