The Instagram account of is showing off her happiness at receiving a ruby engagement ring from Iman Shumpert. Teyana is a 24-year-old actress and singer, one who gained a lot of attention for Taylor’s funny turn in the movie Madea’s Big Happy Family, because of the way she said the name of a character named “Byron” and dragged it out.

On Saturday evening, Teyana was enjoying her baby shower, held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland, Ohio, when Iman popped the big question. Shumpert and Taylor are expecting their first child in January.

? “Before your love baby I was muddy
So deep with pain till you took it from me/
You showered me with a new beginning
Now I’m clean/ Took me by surprise when you ran up on me, I came to life baby in that moment/
You put your hands on my heart and baby
now it beats” Thank You @imanshumpertfor putting the color back in my life! I love you so much ? & thank you@monicabrown for those beautiful lyrics. You spoke to my soul girl! ?

For his part, shared a beautiful photo of Taylor relaxing near a waterfall in a bikini.

Shumpert also turned to Instagram to praise women as what he called the Lord’s most beautiful creation as he awaits the birth of their child.

“Women are still standing strong as Lord’s most beautiful creation. Junie will be here soon thru the strength of this beauty!”

On Facebook, Shumpert wrote on September 2 about the expected date of arrival of their baby.

“Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr is expected to enter this world ‘1.16.16’.”

Teyana and Iman have been known to hit the town as a famous couple. Earlier in July, they attended the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports Awards 2015 at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion together in Westwood, California.

Shumpert’s ruby engagement ring gift to Teyana might be considered unconventional by some, but nowhere near as odd as a woman’s engagement ring made from her fiancé’s tooth, as reported by Refinery29. Opal stones, ruby gems, or other jewels are nothing compared to seeing the centerpiece of a ring that has a tooth embedded where the jewel usually appears.

As reported by the Daily Mail, big attention is usually paid to engagement rings. The Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, sports a 12-carat ring with a dark Ceylon sapphire in the middle. Surrounding the main gem is a cluster of 14 solitaire diamonds. Estimated at thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, that engagement ring is considered priceless — because both Princess Diana and the Duchess of Cambridge have worn the ring.

There’s no word on the details about Taylor’s ruby engagement ring, but a gander through the photos with the hasthag #engagementring on Instagram, which contains 520,906 posts and counting, thus far, gives readers an idea of the trends in engagement rings.

As such, the ruby engagement ring has 182 posts, while ruby engagement rings only have eight posts as of this writing. Apparently, according to Instagram, diamonds are still a girl’s best friend.
