Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio announced her engagement to former model and jewelry designer Buck Palmer, showcasing a sizable diamond ring in recent Instagram posts. The ring, an elongated cushion cut set in yellow gold, is estimated by jewelry experts to be between five to seven carats and could be valued between $200,000 and $500,000.
Ambrosio, 45, shared the news of the engagement via a joint Instagram post with Palmer, 44, writing, "I’d choose you in this life and every life. Here’s to forever, my love." The proposal took place on a beach in Indonesia. The couple has been romantically linked since late 2024 and their engagement follows a nearly two-year romance.
Ambrosio first sparked engagement rumors in the spring of 2026 when she was seen wearing a gold band on her ring finger in Instagram photos. An insider suggested at the time that Palmer, who designs jewelry, may have designed the band.
The pair were first romantically linked in 2024 at a party during Miami's Art Basel. Sources close to Ambrosio indicated at the time that she felt a deep connection with Palmer and hoped to be with him for her entire life.
Ambrosio, a former Victoria's Secret Angel, has two children, daughter Anja, 17, and son Noah, 14, from her previous engagement to Jamie Mazur. The couple ended their engagement in 2018.
Ambrosio has spoken in the past about maintaining a positive outlook and living in the present. She has also expressed ambitions to host her own show and continue working with emerging designers in the fashion industry.
