Oklahoma City Thunder baller Russell Westbrook proposed to his fiancee with a $700K ring! See the ring inside and find out what "divorce" rumor Nick Cannon refuted on Twitter in case you missed it....
Love is definitely in the air our YBF athletes. You'll recall that Evelyn Lozada got engaged to LA Dodgers player Carl Crawford, Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade walked down the aisle with Gabrielle Union over the weekend and now, Oklahoma Thunder star Russell Westbrook is prepping to make that leap with his fiancee Nina Earl.
Russell and Nina (who met in college at UCLA) made the announcement on Instagram earlier, after he popped the question with a 6-piece elongated cushion cut ring (worth $700k) from Jason of Beverly Hills. After she said yes, he posted a pic of Nina on his timeline with the caption, "Nothing even matters..@ninamri3_ forever my lady!LOVE YOU!!!!"
Congrats to the couple!
In other news.....
Nick Cannon is shooting down reports that be blabbed about his marriage (and alleged split) from Mariah Carey. In a very long rant (which we've captured for you) Nick blasts reports that say he confirmed a split from Mimi. While reaffirming his love for Mariah, he also asks for privacy as they work through "this process." It's interesting to note that Nick never says they aren't getting a divorce - he simply says that he's never said anything about it.
Read the tweets (start from the bottom up):
Also, you'll recall that we reported about a"gag" order being in place . Maybe Nick is covering his butt (legally) by tweeting that he's never spoken about their situation. Meawhile, we have not seen him and Mimi together for months!
