“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Gina Kirschenheiter recently displayed two engagement rings from her fiancé, Travis Mullen, during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live.” Mullen initially proposed on New Year's Eve after nearly seven years of dating.
During her interview, Kirschenheiter addressed host Andy Cohen's question about whether Mullen had updated the ring from its initial prototype. She confirmed that the ring she showed first was her "real ring," an oval-cut solitaire diamond. She then revealed a second ring, explaining that Mullen had designed two options because she loved both, and he ultimately gifted her both.
The second ring, worn on her right hand, features a "toi et moi" design with two stones, appearing to be an emerald-cut and a pear-shaped stone. The original engagement ring, a 6-carat oval-cut diamond, was custom-made in partnership with Wove. Its design is symbolic, with an 18-karat yellow gold band and a center stone representing the couple. Three small diamonds on each side symbolize their blended family of six children.
Bernie Dufrene, CEO of WoveMade.com, previously stated that the ring's design was intentionally meaningful, reflecting Mullen's love for Kirschenheiter and their blended family. Kirschenheiter herself expressed her admiration for the thoughtfulness behind the ring, calling it "absolutely perfect."
Despite the engagement, Kirschenheiter indicated on “WWHL” that she is not in a hurry to get married. She described marriage as a "marathon" and stated that her current focus is on building her business, making investments, and saving for college. She plans to host a large celebration once these priorities are met.
