- The ring features an 11-carat center stone with about four additional carats on a princess-cut diamond band, sourced from John Anthony Jewelers and set in silver.
- Connell replaced an earlier stone, said he purchased the current ring about 18 months ago, and waited to propose as his divorce finalized and family engagements for Frank and Frankie took place.
- He later noted he sought ChatGPT advice for his speech, and the couple say they intend to enjoy their engagement with no rush to set a wedding date.
