Rob Kardashian dropped $325K on Blac Chyna’s 7-carat engagement ring

As we learned yesterday, Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian are engaged. He proposed to her Monday evening, and they went out celebrating that night, then announced the engagement in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Since then, the reaction has been… sort of funny. The Kardashians aren’t saying sh-t about it publicly. Twitter is having a field day. TMZ has run no fewer than eight stories about the engagement. All in all, everything feels pretty scandalous/stupid. So, here are some more stories about it!

The proposal & ring. TMZ says Rob dropped $325K on the engagement ring and the reason why it looks so much like Kim Kardashian’s engagement ring is because Rob went to Kanye’s favorite jeweler Ben Baller. The ring is a “7 carat, round brilliant cut diamond. VS1 clarity — in a VVS diamond eternity band setting.” For the proposal, Rob covered a room in Blac Chyna’s house in rose petals – as in, he killed 500 roses for the proposal – and he lit a ton of candles. He got down on one knee and she said yes right away.

Blac Chyna’s real name. When they get married, she’s going to be Angela Kardashian.

The Kardashians are not happy. Khloe has been actively ignoring the story on social media. It helps that Kris Jenner and the Kardashian ladies are on vacation in Vail right now. According to TMZ, Rob “blindsided” his family and he didn’t tell anyone that he was going to propose: “Sources familiar with the situation tell us, Rob went to great lengths to keep Kim and company in the dark. We’re told the proposal was ‘aggressively on the QT.’” He apparently planned the proposal around the Kardashians’ trip to Vail because he didn’t want them to be in the same city. TMZ also has a Kardashian-family perspective story, in which sources basically say that the family’s not mad, they just think he’s flaky and that the engagement won’t stick.

Here’s a closer look at her ring – in closeup, it doesn’t look as much like Kim’s ring. It’s still sort of pretty though, I do like it. But I do wonder how Rob “Sock Mogul” afforded it.

    Im sure he got a significant discount for the publicity this brought the jeweler.

    • Naya says:

      Oh yeah. I think I saw some back and forth publicity tweets between him and the jeweller. Angela is savvy, y’all. They’ll actually make money off that wedding, watch and learn PMK.

      • Lucy says:

        I 100% think they will go through with the wedding, the amount of money they have made and will make is too much for either of them to say no. It will be funny to see Tyga and Kylie during the reception

      • LA says:

        I wouldnt be surprised if he even got the ring for free. Its obscene what these “celebs” can pull for just a few tweets!

      • Naya says:

        @Lucy

        And kanye and Amber (who for sure will be Blac Chynas maid of honor)

      • SydneySnider says:

        I’m starting to pop the corn right now…

      • RJ says:

        Picturing Amber as maid of honor and Kanye as best man, walking down the aisle together (and wedding party dance at reception). This is too damn rich.

    • ladysussex says:

      Well I was wondering where he would even get that kind of money. Has he ever had a job? Apart from appearing on KUWTK and his failed sock empire…how has he ever earned any money to be buying rings like that?

      • deehunny says:

        I was watching part of an old episode of Khloe and Lamar (which is the first time I saw the show, I swear!!!) and I saw they have lots of side projects and businesses they fund/maintain so it could be that. He also does drive a very expensive car…

  2. Chelsey says:

    That’s all?

    Also, that was really fast. Methinks this won’t last.

    • Naya says:

      Dont even jinx it like that. Right now I’m living for the televised Rob + Angela wedding and aaaaaaall that drama

    • Kosmos says:

      Ah, geez…..and then they’ll split at some point. Unfortunately, they don’t realize that now, but this will never last. I guess they’ll enjoy it until it begins to go downhill…..too soon, too fast, period.

  3. catwoman says:

    If they’re happy and it pisses off PMK I’m all for it! That’s a hella lot of socks to sell for that little bauble, though.

  4. Dhavynia says:

    They are furious at him but let a teenage girl expose her body and date an older man? Yeah I see the priorities
    I’m glad he’s sticking it to them

  5. Lady D says:

    Pretty ring. TMZ would be an empty, empty site without the K klan to fill its pages. It’s funny how hard TMZ is trying to shill this family with their ‘insider’ quotes and ‘those we’ve spoken to’ Doubt that website would exist without them. There has to be money changing hands.

    • Sarah(too) says:

      ^^This^^. I used to look at TMZ every day, but stopped a long time ago. It is all Kardashian all the time. I have this idea that if we all just stopped talking about them, clicking on articles about them, paying attention to them, they would just go away. Of course they would have the famewhore death throws where they do more and more and more outrageous things to entice us to click, but we should hold strong.

      • swak says:

        DM is the same way – at least 5 articles a day about them.

      • Kosmos says:

        Totally 100% agree with you…but they’ve already made $$millions on their name alone, too bad…..it would take an army to stop their momentum. They are NOTHING folks !!

    • Brittney says:

      Oh, there absolutely is. Have you read the New Yorker piece about TMZ and Harvey? It’s worth reading the whole thing; it confirms what all of us assumed and then some.

  6. Nancy says:

    Why do these people compare opulence to love. I would have worn a cigar band and been happy. The ring is beautiful, but they’ve been together what three months? I’m glad I’m normal…or can pass myself off as normal!!!

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      You’re so right.

    • Michelleb says:

      Agree completely. They seem to think that love is the material expression of it – the bigger bling, the truer love. It is really sad.

      Am I the only one that thinks the ring is ugly? I never like settings which include stones around the band.

      But then, I am very happy with my small solitaire, which as it belonged to my husband’s late mother has more love in it than any of these celebrity jeweler creations.

  7. FingerBinger says:

    Kris Jenner dropped 325k on that ring. Rob Kardashian hasn’t made that much money from socks.

    • Nancy says:

      Robert Sr. was very wealthy and probably left him a lot of money, most likely in trusts at certain ages. I’m sure Rob is very comfortable, but yeah PMK could have paid for it even though she keeps her purses strings tight.

      • FingerBinger says:

        Whatever money Robert Sr. left is long gone. It’s pennies compared to the money Kim ,Khloe and the rest are making now.

      • Sarah says:

        He was also probably a “son and heir” valuing type guy. He died in 2003 before Rob Jr was a major screw up so he probably had high hopes for him

      • Nancy says:

        FB: If he left in trusts, he may have another payday at 30. He is the only son so that probably gives him points as papa got his son. And lest us not forget when Rob was on DWTS! He probably “socked” away his money. Lol

    • Murphy says:

      Yeah it was Kris. She’s all up in this. If she wasn’t it wouldn’t be all over TMZ.

    • muffin says:

      To be fair,he’s been living with his sisters for free for 3-5 years now . He wears the same(look the same to me) black on black sweats all the time . What is he spending money on?

  8. Jayna says:

    They are filming this whole Blac Chyna/ Rob thing for their show. They leak all of this relationship drama with them and his family ad nauseum, just like they do their fake storylines, and pretend it’s gossip, not promo for their show. He’s as big a fame ho as the rest of the family.

    • Pandy says:

      I don’t know if he’s as big a fame ho as the ladies, but I’m pretty sure Angela is lolll. I think it’s all just BS with them.

  9. me says:

    1. I doubt Rob paid for that ring. I’m guessing E probably paid for it and the ring is on “loan” lol. I do think Rob and Chyna will be doing a reality show based on “planning their wedding” and at the end they won’t get married. Ratings gold !

    2. What makes us so sure Chyna will change her name to “Kardashian”. LOL oh who are we kidding, of course she will (that’s if they actually get married).

    3. Funny they are calling Rob “flaky”. How many of the Kardashians had quick engagements and even quicker marriages?

    • Nancy says:

      Oh @me…..I didn’t think about them getting a reality show, but damn, you’re right they will. That’s how Seacrest operates. Won’t be long before Kylie and Tyga get one. The K’s hate Chyna…..the mother and ex of their baby darling Kylie’s true love. Definitely a soap opera that won’t be watched by me. Damn it to Hell….lol

    • RJ says:

      If she did change her name she’d be the only Mrs. Kardashian. Kris is still a Jenner.

  10. Naya says:

    Angela Kardashian? Why is she killing my joy. I was so rooting for Blac Kardashian.

    Seriously though, burn it down Angela. Burn it to the ground.

    • FingerBinger says:

      I like Kangela Kardashian.

    • MC2 says:

      Amazing comment. Took the words right out of my mouth….
      I am counting the moments until the wedding! I feel bad since these are real people in real life but this is entertainment gold.
      I saw some “web of Karashian relationships” on a site yesterday. Why is their circle so damn small!? Aren’t there other people to date who aren’t in the fold? If Kendall comes out & dates Amber Rose my life is complete.

  11. Bridget says:

    How did he pay for it? Maybe he didn’t. Perhaps the ring is a loan, and it’s just going to go back to the jeweler when this whole stunt mysteriously doesn’t result in a wedding. Or E! paid for it.

  12. HollyG says:

    Does this make Tyga his own son’s uncle?

  13. ReineDidon says:

    With this Angela Kardashian story KUWTK are having drama material for the next 10 years!

  14. Squiggisbig says:

    So I’m probably super tacky but…I love that ring.

    Also funny how it wasn’t an issue for khloe-zilla to get engaged to Lamar after a month of dating… But I suppose that’s different because there was money to be gained.

    • Pandy says:

      I love the ring too – wish it was mine!!! Yeah, Khloe bagged a “celeb” so she got a pass. Rob bagged a fame ho, so he’s not getting any applause.

  15. Dutchak says:

    Burn it all Angela!

  16. word says:

    Rob’s proposal sounds just like Humphries staged proposal to Kim. Man E producers need to be more creative.

  17. Ana says:

    Jesus, he looks like Gargamel lately.

    • Lady D says:

      Never having watched the Smurfs I had to google Gargamel and you’re right, Socks is starting to resemble him.

  18. dAsh says:

    I am enjoying this circus. Blac Chyna needs to have a Kardashian baby!

  19. nicegirl says:

    Congratulations to Rob and Angela!!

    I don’t know, y’all, I have a soft spot for Rob. I want him to be happy – and functional, a worthwhile and contributing member of society. Having a family would be great for him. What is wrong with Chyna? I think her kid looks happy and well cared for – – she cares about nutrition, seems to care about family.

    Where did he get the money? Um, I bet that kid has had a trust fund since before birth, the only son of Robert, Sr. Get real – they are all millionaires. It is only 325k, likely a drop in the Kardashian bucket. He has his ‘own money’ even if it is nowhere near the bankroll of his sibs.

    Also – I think they would have very cute babies – dimple fest for days. Rob is a good looking young man and she is stunning. Best wishes!

  20. Murphy says:

    And you know if they do make it down the aisle and she changes her name to Angela Kardashian–she will NEVER change it back.

  21. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Those nails..

  22. stinky says:

    I am DYING….
    DYING.
    Amber Rose is gonna be rockin her tightest maid of honor dress!
    You cant make this shit up.
    How can this all be PMK’s doing???

  23. Kelly says:

    He gets nuthin’ from his family.

  24. Dlo says:

    I am rooting for these two! Wish them all the wonderful best!

  25. Sansa says:

    General comment is Rob looks so happy. I wonder … He is the son of PMK…instead of it being she is using him I wonder if it’s really the other way around..he is using her…to get back at his family. The silence from his family in the past 24 hours is also strange…wonder if Kris knew and decided to get them all out of town and brought a doctor to keep them all sedated while she considers her next move ((how much money She can make off this and manage risk enhance the Kash brand)) get everyone on the same page for the defense. They need to film this.

    • word says:

      The E cameras are with them on vacation right now. Don’t worry, we’ll see all the FAKE behind the scenes stuff.

  26. QQ says:

    The Kardashians are not happy <— happiest place on earth!!!

    LOL I'm happy about this like my pettiest gf got a glow up! LOVE.IT

    • word says:

      You’ll also be happy to know Khloe’s show just got cancelled. But of course she’ll lie and say “I just wasn’t happy and wanted to focus on other things”. Please, if the ratings were good, she would have kept doing the show.

  27. mindydopple says:

    I came here to HONK for more on this story. I truly wish they get married as soon as possible and seal this deal. If they’re happy AND can spite the rest of the family it’s a win-win. The Kardashian-Jenner silence is golden, they know they can’t complain or throw shade because what leg do ANY of them have to stand on? Rob is exercising, even took a group photo with them? She’s actually making progress! I hope she emphasizes (if she speaks to them, or TMZ) that this way, their family can all spend holidays together. Tyga, the baby and Blac China will all be with the K-klan! One big happy family!!

    • QQ says:

      ME TOO, not only that but that they legitimately continue to prosper in their PettyHappiness!! actually Let em stay Married, Amber on the books for Godmother of Karma Korea Kardashian

    • Lady D says:

      HONK. Do you know how rare it is that a Kardashian story is only funny? Usually there is a thread of despair or low-level anger angle running through all the K stories. This one is just and only funny.
      edit: Dammit, I forgot there’s a toddler involved.

  28. Cee says:

    So now Rob Kardashian will be stepfather to Blac Chyna’s son with Tyga! Rob and Kylie will (potentially) be step-parents to the same child. This is golden.

  29. Pants says:

    I just want this wedding to happen for the awkwardness of it all. So messy. *grabs popcorn*

  30. serena says:

    He looks happy and healty.. good for him, we’ll see how long until a divorce or break-up comes. It would be so funny though, having Blac Chyna, Tyga, Kylie and Kim on the same table.. lol.

  31. The Original Mia says:

    I love it. I personally couldn’t care less about Rob. He’s just as bad as his sisters, but if this makes them uncomfortable and angry, then go for it Blac Chyna!

  32. Bread and Circuses says:

    You know, I’m kind of amazed 7 carats doesn’t cost more than that. I would have thought it would.

    Not that it isn’t nuts spending the cash-equivalent of a nice family home in a suburb on one ring, but I’m also not going to fault Rob for not have a normal person’s grip on the value of money. There’s just no way he knows what a can of tuna costs.

    I hope they make each other happy. Rob, in particular, doesn’t seem like he’s had many people in his life who do that for him.

  33. madmenluv says:

    god those nails are just disgusting!! how does she take care of her baby with those tallons without scratching the heck out of him!

  34. PamelaJudy says:

    ***slow clap for Angie Kardashian****

    In all seriousness, I laughed so hard when I heard this. Not because I wish them any ill will, just at the thought of the explosions going on at PMKs house. Do you think they had any real idea clue Rob hates them soooo much?

    A few predictions: BCAngie Kardashian is going to be pregnant with a Kardashian baby asap; Kylie is going to kick Tyga to the curb (you have to think he’s already tried to lock her down with marriage and she’s not quite ready for that).

    Also, has anyone heard of the rumoured son of Rob’s? Any truth to that one?

    Finally, CB you need a “like” button for these comments.

  35. Ming says:

    I think they are good match.. And the frosting on the cake is ROB is happy. He has a huge heart and I believe this is what BC loves about him. Rob is tender hearted and no doubt in my mind he loves her baby boy.. The key to any mothers heart.
