Glee’s Matthew Morrison Popped the Question with a Sapphire Engagement Ring!

What a way to kick off the weekend – with some fabulous celebrity engagement ring eye candy! Matthew Morrison, star of Glee, proposed to girlfriend Renee Puente, and their engagement was announced last night in a perfectly musical way.

The couple, who have been dating since 2011, attended the White Tie and Tiara Ball in London, hosted by Elton John and David Furnish. The two happily announced Morrison’s proposal (the couple are close friends with Mr. Schue). Elton was joined on stage by Coldplay’s Christ Martin for a duet of “Your Song” dedicated to the nearlyweds.

On their way out of the ball, the paps snapped a fuzzy ring shot, but hey, we’ll take it. It looks like Renee, 26 and a model, is now sporting a fabulous blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring. The center stone could be an oval, but is more likely a cushion cut or radiant, judging by the delicate halo of micropave surrounding it. We’re smitten! It’s no secret we love a sapphire engagement ring, after all…
