Dua Lipa Reveals the Custom Details That Make Her Engagement Ring ‘So Me'
Six months after Dua Lipa first sparked engagement rumors with a shiny new ring, she finally addressed the speculation in British Vogue: 'Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting.' The singer confirmed on June 12 that actor Callum Turner proposed—and that the diamond ring she has quietly flaunted on Instagram since Christmas Eve is, in fact, the real deal.
Lipa told the magazine that Turner tapped her sister, Rina, and a few close friends for intel before having the piece made. 'I'm obsessed with it. It's so me,' she said. 'It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.'
While the couple has not revealed any exact specs, independent jewelers have weighed in. Bridal experts at Brides estimate the ring features a 'round brilliant or old European cut' diamond set into a wide yellow-gold band, a design that 'most likely cost $65,000 to $85,000 on the low end and $125,000 on the high end."
The silhouette lands squarely in this year's bigger-is-better trend of chunky engagement rings, featuring substantial metal, flush-set stones, and a profile designed for everyday wear.
Lipa and Turner went public with their relationship last year, and became Instagram-official in July at Glastonbury, where Lipa headlined.
The pair isn't rushing to walk down the aisle yet. At the moment, Lipa is focused on her Radical Optimism World Tour and Turner is filming his next projects. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding,' she admitted to British Vogue. 'All of a sudden I'm like, 'Oh, what would I wear?''
Until their schedules align, the newly engaged stars are enjoying the moment—sparkling, custom gold ring included.

Shaq on 'Inside The NBA' leaving TNT: 'Nothing lasts forever'
Shaq on 'Inside The NBA' leaving TNT: 'Nothing lasts forever' The 15-time NBA All-Star and current commentator speaks with Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill about the show's end with the network as it leaves for ESPN beginning next season. Hear the full conversation on 'Good Word with Goodwill' and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript This iteration of Inside the NBA. Advertisement I know you guys had the documentary after the game of Game 4. Just what are your emotions? Are you emotional about what this iteration could potentially going somewhere else? How do you feel about it? There's a lot of people in Atlanta, a lot of people in that Turner family. What emotions come up for you? I realize nothing lasts forever. And at some point change is inevitable. Growing up in the military. Uh, family. I'm used to doing something every 4 years. So I've been in Turner for 12 years. I did 3 terms at Turner. I was telling me to do something else. You know, I don't really get emotional. I'm just thankful and blessed to have the opportunity. Advertisement I'm glad that we're still going to be working together at some capacity, and it's a challenge for us to build something new. We're not going to be doing that show anymore, but us 4 still going to be together. And the good thing we're still going to be shooting in our studio in Atlanta. Somebody's gonna lease our show. So, yeah, it's just not gonna be called inside the NBA on TNT anymore. So we don't know if they're gonna call it inside the NBA on ESPN, but I know for a fact Charles ain't changing. I'm not changing and Ernie's not changing. So ESPN better get ready for all the jokes, all the, all the borderline jokes, all the comforts. Advertisement And hopefully we don't have to make too many apologies. So I think the, the, the title of the show is gonna change, but I think it would be a different question if you're saying, Ernie was going here, I'm going there, rucks and like you don't see us 4 together, but I think all the guys have signed and you will see us together. And it's my understanding, we will be shooting from the same like so our routines are the same. Nothing changes for us. I just think the title of the show, but nobody knows what it's gonna be. But I know when you got us 4 together, we create magic. Big man, appreciate you as always, man. I hope to see you in the finals, brother. All right, thank you, brother.

How much did Drake make on the Dave's Hot Chicken deal?
Like Toronto rapper Drake, the founders of Dave's Hot Chicken started from the bottom. This month, they may have all cashed in together. On June 2, the high flying chicken chain, which counts the music superstar as an investor, sold a 70 per cent majority interest to private equity firm Roark Capital in a deal that reportedly valued Dave's at US$1 billion (the deal's exact terms weren't disclosed). Atlanta-based Roark is known for its portfolio of major restaurant brands including Subway, Arby's, Dunkin' Donuts, Baskin Robbins and Buffalo Wild Wings, among others. The sale capped a dramatic rise in the fortunes of childhood friends Arman Oganesyan, Dave Kopushyan, Tommy Rubenyan and Gary Rubenyan, who pooled US$900 together in 2017 to start a pop-up selling Nashville-style chicken out of a parking lot in Los Angeles. After six months of hour-long lineups thanks to word of mouth and social media buzz, the company started slinging its tenders, sliders, fries and kale slaw out of its first bricks-and-mortar store in an East Hollywood strip mall. Eight years later, franchising has helped Dave's Hot Chicken grow exponentially into 315 store locations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the Middle East. Along the way, the chicken chain has benefited from a cult following and a troop of celebrity investors including Drake, who bought his minority stake in 2021. There's no doubt Drake's hype and social media buzz — the rapper has 142 million Instagram followers — has played a part in Dave's Hot Chicken's meteoric ascent. For the last three years, the superstar has celebrated his birthday on Oct. 24 by sponsoring a free chicken giveaway at Dave's Hot Chicken locations in Toronto. The latest valuation also marks a big jump from Dave's Hot Chicken's first deal in 2019, when the four co-founders sold a 50 per cent stake in the business for $2 million to a group of investors led by Bill Phelps, who became the company's chief executive, and movie producer John Davis. The investor group included such celebrities as actor Samuel L. Jackson, journalist Maria Shriver, television host and former NFL player Michael Strahan and Boston Red Sox chairman Tom Werner. The four co-founders reportedly split the remaining 50 per cent stake. At the time of the Roark Capital deal, Forbes reported that Phelps and Davis were the company's largest shareholders with 'roughly equal stakes' (though both declined to reveal exactly how much they owned). Each of the four co-founders owned around 10 per cent of the business and sold 80 per cent of their stakes, netting a cool US$80 million each (before taxes), according to Forbes. So, how much did Champagne Papi make off of the deal? Bloomberg reported that Drake was among the company's biggest investors when he bought his minority stake in 2021, but his exact ownership percentage and how much he paid for it has never been disclosed. If the founders owned a combined 40 per cent (10 per cent each) before the deal and Phelps and Davis were the biggest shareholders with roughly equal stakes, Drake would have to own less than 20 per cent of the chicken chain, with the likely total being much lower than that. With each percentage point worth a cool US$10 million, even a five per cent stake would be worth US$50 million. The Financial Post reached out to Dave's Hot Chicken for comment about whether Drake sold any of his shares as part of the deal, but did not receive a response. Dave's is not Drake's first foray into the food world, but it appears to be his most successful restaurant investment to date. The rapper has opened two Toronto eateries in the last decade: Frings, a venture with chef Susur Lee and his sons that opened in 2015 and closed three years later, and Pick 6ix, a sports bar that opened in early 2018 and closed by the end of 2019. 'I tried the food and it was amazing': Drake buys stake in Dave's Hot Chicken chain Tim Hortons partners with actor Ryan Reynolds on breakfast boxes The rapper has also reportedly invested in green tea retailer MatchaBar and plant-based chicken company Daring Foods Inc. (the same year he bought his stake in Dave's) and collaborated with U.S. entrepreneur Brent Hocking to launch his own whiskey brand (Virginia Black) and champagne (Mod Sélection). • Email: jswitzer@ Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Drake To Join Kai Cenat On Livestream And Host $300K Giveaway
Chat, it's lit! Drake will join Kai Cenat on a live stream this week as the duo hosts a $300,000 giveaway. The popular Twitch streamer confirmed the broadcast will take place on Thursday (June 12) at 8 p.m., as a follow-up to his May announcement that he and the Toronto superstar were hosting a 'Somebody Loves Me' music video challenge for fans. They were told to submit a 30-second to one-minute video treatment for the PARTYNEXTDOOR-assisted record from their February joint album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. 'First of all Thank you to everyone who share their video submission for Somebody loves Me,' he wrote on Instagram story. 'We were blown away by the creativity and thought poured into each submission. We were suppose to go live today but needed a little extra time to review them.' Cenat revealed that Drizzy would join him on stream to review the submissions live, and share their favorite treatments, plus the ideas they weren't so fond of. In the end, 20 fans will be selected and given $15,000 each to make their video treatments come to life. Read below. This challenge was sparked by Kai Cenat publicly admitting that he wasn't a fan of Drake's 'NOKIA' music video from this past March. The 6 God decided to put the power in the 23-year-old personality's hands, but also empower his fans to help. 'CALLING ALL VI$$$IONARIES,' he wrote on Instagram. 'This is about using your creativity, racking your brain, to make something work that's genius. 'Find those ideas that are right there in front of you that everybody's going to watch and wish they came up with.' The final music video will reportedly be a compilation of clips from all of the winners' individual videos. Last week, he shared one submission where a fan utilized A.I. to show an angel sitting on a cloud texting, only for her phone to disappear out of her hands and an orb with a shirtless Drake holding up his phone camera replacing it. The angel leapt off the cloud and flapped her wings as she descended through the sky down to a city before dramatically landing in an alley. The angel then morphed into the fan, who walked into a nightclub past fans with shocked looks on their faces as she met up with A.I. versions of the Toronto duo. A.I. Drake seemed happy to see her; meanwhile, A.I. PND's expression was one of shock. Watch below.
