Singer and actress Nicole Scherzinger sent her fans into a frenzy this week by showcasing her stunning engagement ring in a glamorous video from a luxury Maldives resort.
A Dazzling Display in Paradise
The Pussycat Dolls star, 47, took to TikTok on Wednesday to share a sizzling clip from her idyllic holiday with fiancé Thom Evans, 40. In the video, she posed confidently in a daring halterneck leopard print swimsuit that highlighted her incredible figure. The camera then zoomed in as she waved her hand, putting the spotlight on her enormous diamond engagement ring.
She stood at the edge of an infinity pool overlooking the ocean, draped in a matching sheer animal-print cover-up, and humorously captioned the post: 'Not the stiff hand'. The post quickly garnered adoring comments from her 3.9 million followers, who praised both her look and the spectacular ring.
Expert Valuation of the Precious Stone
Jewellery experts were quick to analyse the bling. Neil Dutta, Managing Director at Angelic Diamonds, provided an exclusive assessment to the Daily Mail. He identified the ring as a high-quality oval-cut diamond set on a slim platinum band, a classic design that emphasises the stone.
Dutta estimated the centre diamond to be around 5 carats with excellent clarity and brightness. Based on its size and quality, he valued the breathtaking piece at approximately £250,000. 'The proportions look well balanced, which is a strong indicator of a well-cut stone with good light return,' he noted.
Luxury Getaway and Future Wedding Plans
The Hawaiian-born performer is currently enjoying a romantic escape with her former rugby player fiancé at the ultra-exclusive One&Only Reethi Rah resort in the Maldives, where villas start from £2,700 per night. The trip follows her headline performance at the resort's New Year's Eve 'Believe Ball', where she ushered in 2025 with a live show.
The couple, who got engaged in June 2023 during a holiday in Portugal, have recently playfully addressed constant questions about their wedding date. In a previous TikTok, Nicole mimed to RAYE's 'Where Is My Husband!' with the caption: 'POV: everyone keeps asking 'so when's the wedding?''
While fans are eager for a date, Scherzinger has indicated that marriage will happen when her schedule allows. Last summer, she explained that they plan to wed once her demanding stint in Broadway's Sunset Boulevard concludes later in 2025. 'Thank God he is so patient,' she said of Thom.
The pair first met in 2019 when Nicole was a judge on a celebrity edition of The X Factor and Thom was a contestant. A friend of the couple previously revealed that Thom knew Nicole was 'the one' from the moment they met, confirming that marriage was always the intended destination for their relationship.
