EXCLUSIVE Robin Thicke and April Love Geary flash wedding bands for FIRST time... as his includes a VERY 'unusual' surprise
The 30-year-old brunette beauty was with her singer husband at the BET Awards at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Monday evening.
Her band was yellow gold and shone nicely next to her huge diamond engagement ring from Established Jewelry.
Robin also debuted his band as there was a big surprise on it: the yellow gold ring had diamonds on the front.
Most men do not get diamonds included in their wedding bands as they prefer a plainer look.
'His ring is definitely not the norm for men, it is very unusual,' said Chris from The Diamond Bank in Los Angeles tells DailyMail.com.
'The ring is yellow gold with about seven small diamonds side by side which is very special. He may have chosen seven as they have been engaged for seven years. The cost of his ring is around $10,000, which is about $9,500 more than most men pay for their wedding bands.'
Both Robin and April wore black as they looked very in love while arm in arm on the red carpet just two weeks after saying 'I do' during a lavish ceremony held in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico just two weeks ago.
The bride — who has welcomed three children with Thicke — walked down the aisle in a stunning white lace gown and a long ruffled veil.
In a loving gesture to his late father Alan Thicke, Robin and April kept a seat in the front row empty. Alan died back in 2016 at the age of 69.
Geary's video revealed that Alan's chair had 'In Loving Memory Of Alan Thicke' posted on the back of it.
Next, Geary posted a short clip of her father walking her down the aisle as their guests looked on in awe at the beautiful bride.
For Robin's strut to the altar, he suited up in a black tuxedo and held hands with the couple's two-year-old son Luca Patrick, who served as ring bearer.
Luca, also dressed in a black tux, carried a briefcase that read: 'Ring Security'
April and Robin are also parents to daughters Lola Alain, four, and Mia Love, six, but the two girls did not appear in any of the videos shared to Instagram.
TMZ reported that the guest list was expected to be star-studded, with Leonardo DiCaprio said to have RSVP'd, along with Usher and Community star Ken Jeong.
However, it was unclear from the videos Geary posted who actually attended the nuptials.
'His ring is definitely not the norm for men, it is unusual,' said Chris from The Diamond Bank in Los Angeles tells DailyMail.com. 'The ring is yellow gold with about seven small diamonds side by side which is very special. He may have chosen seven as they have been engaged for seven years. The cost of his ring is around $10,000, which is about $9,500 more than most men pay for their wedding bands.'

All of the bridesmaids and flower girls were all wearing Azazie dresses.
The celebrations reportedly kicked off with a welcome dinner on Thursday and were expected to continue through the weekend, with guests arriving as early as Wednesday.
April took to her Instagram Stories to reveal just how nervous she felt ahead of her wedding weekend.
'I get married this weekend, and I leave tomorrow. And my nerves are so bad, like I honestly, all day, have felt like I'm going to vomit,' she admitted.
'And I'm just going over a checklist in my head of, like, all the things I need to pack, all the things I need to pack for the kids. And, like, of course I haven't packed anything yet. And I leave tomorrow and I'm an idiot.
'But oh my god, I'm so excited! But I'm literally, like, nauseous. Like, I feel like I'm actually going to throw up. Oh my god! I'm going to forget something important.'
The next day, Geary shared excited airport snaps alongside her maid of honor and bridesmaids.
'Let's get y'all married! Cabo here we come!' they captioned the photos.
Thicke proposed to Geary twice—first in December 2018, and again just last week outside the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in France.
'Robin surprised me during our trip to Cannes by proposing to me again with a new [Established Jewelry] ring,' April gushed on Instagram.
'I'm so obsessed with [the ring], thank you! This trip was such a dream. I love you so much @robinthicke.'
In April, Geary offered a peek into her bridesmaid dress shopping experience by posting a carousel of photos showing her trying on various gowns.
'Thank you so much @azaziebridal for the best day! My bridesmaids are so happy with their dresses! And thank you for letting me try on some dresses for fun,' she wrote.
She added 'We honestly had so much fun and you guys went above and beyond. Thanks for taking care of all of us.'
Thicke and Geary began dating in 2014, just months after Thicke's split from his wife of 10 years, actress Paula Patton.
He and Patton, who finalized their divorce in 2015, also share 14-year-old son Julian Fuego.
Back in 2016, Thicke and Geary sparked secret wedding rumors after getting matching tattoos on their ring fingers to mark their second anniversary. But as the sweet videos now confirm, they waited until now to make it official.
Thicke's first proposal took place during a family dinner on Christmas Eve, and Geary wrote on Instagram at the time: 'YES YES 1000x YES.'
The Blurred Lines star previously revealed the couple were busy planning their wedding and had hoped to tie the knot in 2024.
He told PEOPLE: 'Wedding plans are a priority, we're looking at 2024 and we're very excited ...
'My relationship with April continues to grow beautifully as we've matured into three-time parents together. She's really the most amazing woman a man could ask for.'
'My relationship with April continues to grow beautifully as we've matured into three-time parents together,' he said.
Thicke then said, 'She's really the most amazing woman a man could ask for.'
He and the 49-year-old SAG Award nominee appear to amicably co-parent their 15-year-old son Julian Fuego.
But the ex-couple didn't finalize their custody arrangement until 2017 due to her making allegations against him of 'child abuse, domestic violence, infidelity, and drug/alcohol addiction.'

Blake Lively's lawsuit deposition is shaken up as she faces down Justin Baldoni in shock appearance
Blake Lively had an unexpected guest in the room when she testified on Thursday as part of the deposition in her sexual harassment lawsuit — Justin Baldoni, the man she filed suit against. The 37-year-old actress — whose legal team previously shared fears that Baldoni would try to make a spectacle out of her deposition — gave her sworn testimony while facing her 41-year-old It Ends With Us costar and director, sources told TMZ on Thursday. The legal foes were gathered at the office of Lively's attorneys, where she had requested that the deposition be held. Baldoni's presence there was a shock, as he was reportedly not expected to attend the deposition, in which Lively answered questions under oath posed both by Baldoni's attorneys and her own. Notably, the judge overseeing the case had ordered Baldoni's attorneys to provide a list of everyone who would be attending the deposition, and it is unclear if Baldoni's name was on that list or if his team was able to deviate from what it originally submitted. has reached out to representatives for Lively and Baldoni for comment but hasn't yet received a reply. Baldoni's appearance at the deposition was ultimately less of a distraction that what his attorney Bryan Freedman had originally suggested: that Lively be sworn in at Madison Square Garden. He said at the time that tickets could be sold to the spectacle, with the proceeds to be donated to domestic violence victims. According to the publication, the deposition was otherwise a modest gathering. Lively was joined by her attorneys, while Baldoni and his attorneys were also present, along with a court reporter and a videographer to document the proceedings. The Gossip Girl star's deposition had originally been set for July 17, but it had to be rescheduled after the legal teams came to a mutual agreement. Matthew Russell Lee from Inner City Press previously reported that Lively had requested that the deposition last no longer than seven hours. While federal rules already state that depositions can last a maximum of seven hours per day, some complicated cases require multiple days of testimony. However, Lively requested that she only be subjected to a single day under oath. Lively was joined by her attorneys, while Baldoni and his attorneys were also present, along with a court reporter and a videographer to document the proceedings; pictured June 9 in NYC The postponement of the deposition was necessitated after Lively's claims against the PR expert Jed Wallace were dismissed by the judge overseeing the case. A spokesperson for Lively told TMZ that Lively respects the court's decision to dismiss Wallace from the lawsuit due to jurisdictional reasons. They added that it 'has nothing to do with the merits of her allegations about Mr. Wallace's role in the smear campaign and relates solely to the procedural question of whether he is subject to jurisdiction in New York or elsewhere.' Her team said they are still considering their 'numerous options for holding Mr. Wallace accountable.' Lively is suing Baldoni, his publicity team, and other defendants, alleging that they retaliated against her after she made sexual harassment allegations. She claims Wallace was hired because he engages in 'untraceable' campaigns across social media platforms, and could 'weaponize a digital army' to 'create, seed, manipulate and advance disparaging content.' He was described in her civil rights complaint acting as a 'hired gun' for Baldoni. Wallace filed a defamation lawsuit against the actress earlier this year. Lively was granted the request to pick the location of her deposition by a judge earlier this month, according to Variety, after her lawyers argued that Baldoni's attorneys were trying to turn the proceeding into a media spectacle. Baldoni's side requested for the deposition to be held at the Park Avenue offices of Meister Seelig & Fein, one of the firms handling his case. However, Lively's team objected to the location in a motion last week, claiming they feared a media ambush in which Lively could be swarmed by paparazzi on her way in and out of the building. Baldoni pushed back on her claim by accusing her of trying to use her 'celebrity status' to gain an upper hand in the proceedings. Lively's team also raised concerns that Baldoni would invite social media influencers to be present at the deposition, which is intended to be confidential. On Monday, Judge Lewis Liman approved for the deposition to be held at a different location, which has been redacted in the public version of the motion. Lively's lawyers also asked for Baldoni's side to provide a list of everyone who will be attending. Liman granted the request, with Baldoni's team instructed that they need to provide the list by noon on Tuesday. Baldoni pushed back on her claim by accusing her of trying to use her 'celebrity status' to gain an upper hand in the proceedings; He is pictured 2024 The judge also instructed Lively's team to provide printing and copying facilities for Baldoni's lawyers. In a moment of snark, Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman previously told TMZ that Lively's deposition should be live-streamed to an audience at Madison Square Garden. Freedman's suggestion, which Lively's attorney shot down at the time as a publicity-seeking distraction, would be to sell tickets to the event and donate the proceeds to domestic violence victims. Lively's team argued that Freedman's remarks demonstrated he couldn't be trusted to keep things professional if the deposition occurred at the place of his choosing. Mitchell Schuster, one of Baldoni's lawyers, dismissed the concern as unfounded, adding that holding the deposition somewhere else would be inconvenient for his team. The two sides are preparing to face off in court after they clashed while filming It Ends With Us last year. After Lively claimed that Baldoni's side would try to make the deposition into a 'public spectacle', the filmmaker hit back by arguing, via his lawyer, that Lively has not supported her claim with evidence. According to TMZ, Baldoni's defense team believes holding the deposition at Lively's lawyer's office puts them at a disadvantage. Baldoni's lawyer cited the potential need to consult with his hundreds of pages of notes and to use a conference room to speak in private. Baldoni's side wrote in the filing, 'Although Lively's foot-stomping and use of her celebrity status may have enabled her to seize control of the film, which is the crux of this dispute, her counsel's tantrum has no place in this Court. Lively is bound by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure like every litigant.' The parties have currently agreed to conduct the deposition on July 17, though recent legal filings indicate that the two sides have been in conflict over discovery requirements. In emails between Lively and Baldoni's attorneys that were entered into the record, Lively's lawyers accused Baldoni's team of failing to mail hard drives of evidence to them in a timely manner, which would make it difficult for the Gossip Girl star and her team to examine any documents or videos the defendants may refer to when questioning her. Her legal team also expressed concern in the new filings that Baldoni may hope to have her paraded in front of paparazzi and gawkers if the deposition is held in a less-private location. In a statement to TMZ, Lively's representative said: 'Ms. Lively is looking forward to her deposition next week, and it should follow the same rules as every other witness in this case. 'Justin Baldoni's lawyer has tried to make this matter a public spectacle at every turn, even proposing to sell tickets to a televised deposition at Madison Square Garden,' they continued. 'This is a serious matter of sexual harassment and retaliation and it deserves to be treated as such.' Lively, who along with husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, was dismissed from Baldoni's $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit nearly a month ago, is tentatively slated to take the stand when the trial begins in New York City in March 2026. Insiders close to Lively told the outlet that she was prepared to face a series of difficult inquiries at her deposition, and that Reynolds isn't expected to attend. Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment in a lawsuit; while Baldoni accused Lively, her husband Reynolds and publicist Leslie Sloane of defamation and extortion in a $400 million suit - the latter of which was dismissed. Baldoni has denied the allegations brought about by Lively, while Lively, Reynolds and Sloane have denied the accusations made in litigation by Baldoni. In June, Lively suffered a setback in the case when a judge denied her attorneys' application for a protective order seeking to block her text messages with Taylor Swift from being entered as evidence. Baldoni's team subpoenaed Lively for text messages, emails and any other messages between her and Swift. His lawyers have subsequently been allowed to pore through the text trail, with all communications related to It Ends With Us set for scrutiny. In one embarrassing text exchange, Lively appeared to refer to herself as the Game of Thrones character Khaleesi, and to Swift as one of her 'dragons.' Elsewhere in Baldoni's filing is the claim that Swift was present at a meeting convened by Lively at her New York penthouse to discuss It Ends With Us script changes. Sources close to Swift insisted the singer had no knowledge of the meeting and simply arrived to find it underway. The situation reportedly left Swift — who is godmother to Lively's three daughters — feeling 'exploited' by her friend of ten years.

The Naked Gun film review: Liam Neeson & Pamela Anderson's offscreen chemistry is every bit as impressive on screen
THE NAKED GUN (15) 85mins ★★★★★ 4 IT'S shaping up for a year of unlikely bedfellows – Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau, Keir Starmer and Donald Trump, and now Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson. The Irish Oscar-nominated star of Schindler's List told reporters 'I'm madly in love' with the former Baywatch actress after filming this remake together. At the premieres and in interviews, they've been giggling like school kids. That offscreen chemistry is every bit as impressive on screen, with shapely Pamela smouldering as she paws at her handsome co-star. What's even more surprising is that Neeson, best known for playing the tough guy in the Taken series, is so good at comedy. Just like the late Leslie Nielsen from the 1988 original, he's a serious actor who is funny because he's not trying to be funny. It's beyond me how he keeps a straight face while wearing a skirt that reveals strawberry-pattern pants underneath. In the 2025 reboot, Neeson plays Lt Frank Drebin Jr, who is the son of Nielsen's character in the original trio of movies. As with Nielsen's Drebin he's an accident-prone Los Angeles detective who finds himself caught up in a dastardly plot. Pamela's Beth Davenport points the bumbling cop in the right direction and they fall for each other. Remarkably, Neeson turning out to be a comedy genius is not the most surprising thing about The Naked Gun. Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson make out in steamy on-air moment as Today host Craig Melvin asks 'are you an item-' What's really unusual about this remake is that it's not a pale imitation of the original. Producer Seth MacFarlane, best known for the Family Guy TV series, and director Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live) have not altered the winning formula of the original film too much. It is packed with corny jokes, such as Lt Drebin telling Beth 'take a chair' and her then walking off with one of the stools. There are also edgier ones that have earned the film a 15 certification. A perfectly innocent encounter between Drebin, Beth and a dog takes on an X-rated appearance through an infrared camera. David Zucker, who directed the first two Naked Gun movies, also put adult material into his comedies. Not all of the gags work, but they come so thick and fast, I found myself laughing more than I have done in a cinema for years. It's so funny I'm even hoping for a sequel. Now, that's really surprising. DOGSPIRACY (12A) 98mins ★★☆☆☆ 4 JUMPING on the bandwagon of movies with 'piracy' in their titles, this documentary has nothing to do with canine pirates. Instead, like Seaspiracy and Cowspiracy, it is about a 'conspiracy'. British vet Dr Marc Abraham believes 'dark forces' keep puppy farms in business. He fronts this film which sets out to expose what can be a cruel trade, with dogs sometimes kept in filthy, cramped conditions. I expected lots of footage of undercover animal rights campaigners revealing such terrible behaviour, but sadly, the film's producers don't appear to have secured the rights to show much of this readily available material. Instead we see Marc watching it on his laptop in a cafe from an angle that reveals nothing. There are disturbing images of farms in Eastern Europe, but this film's focus is on the US. There, showing off his chest hair in the cold, Marc gets excited about being able to take his camera crew into an Amish puppy mill – which has heated floors and is spotless. This is no hard-hitting documentary . . . I was sold a pup. SAVAGES (PG) 87mins ★★★☆☆ 4 STOP-MOTION splendour meets an urgent call to protect the rainforest in this heartfelt animation from My Life As A Courgette director Claude Barras. In this follow-up, Barras swaps the orphanage of his debut for the endangered rainforests of Borneo. The story follows Kéria, a spirited teenager living on the edge of the forest with her widowed father, who reluctantly works for a palm‑oil plantation. Kéria's world is upended when young cousin Selaï moves in with them after his home is destroyed. The pair, along with Oshi, an orphaned orangutan, then embark on an adventure blending environmental urgency with personal discovery. The villains – swaggering plantation bosses – are rendered in broad strokes, but the film's honesty keeps it compelling. Armed only with blowpipes that fire harmless darts, the locals' stand becomes a symbol of defiance against greed and intimidation. Savages' clever blend of charm, ecological awareness and cultural respect makes it a winning, if slightly conventional, addition to contemporary animation.

Love Island winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan share a glimpse of their pre-wedding preparations just hours before they're set to marry - two years after meeting in the villa
Love Island winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan have shared a glimpse of their pre-wedding preparations as they get geared up to marry on Friday. The couple, both 27, announced their engagement in April 2024, a year after meeting and falling in love in the Mallorca villa. And taking to their respective Instagram accounts on Thursday, the pair got themselves spruced up for their big day, with Kai seen getting a fresh trim for the occasion. The P.E teacher shared snaps of himself in a barber's chair as his pal gave him a hair cut, writing in his caption: 'Trim completed. Now time to log off for a few days, enjoy life, be present and marry the love of my life.' Meanwhile, social worker Sanam showed off her gorgeous wedding nails on her stories, with her fingernails adorned with pearl and sequin embellishments. The beauty simply wrote alongside her snap: 'Tomorrow', alongside emojis of a bride and groom. Taking to their respective Instagram accounts on Thursday, the pair got themselves spruced up for their big day, with Kai seen getting a fresh trim for the occasion Last week, both the bride and groom to-be shared snaps of their hen and stag dos as they let their hair down with pals ahead of tying the knot. Sanam jetted off to Ibiza with her pals and mum, where they got into the spirit of things of things with different them days including cowgirl, denim and disco. Meanwhile, Kai and his friends had a grand time on their trip, larking around and drinking during their sporty-themed outing. Kai also paid tribute to his future wife ahead of their wedding day as he got her name tattooed on his arm. Last month, Sanam gave an insight into wedding dress shopping as she prepares to marry her fiancé. Trying on a number of dresses at Lotte Rose Bridal, in Bedford, Sanam shared some of her favourites in an Instagram update. Firstly, she tried on an off-the-shoulder lace gown before changing into an A-line dress with a corset top. She captioned the update: 'Part two of trying to find a wedding dress. 'This shop was absolutely stunninnnggg! Let me know in the comments which style/shape you think suits me best!' The couple met on the hit ITV show in March 2023 in the infamous Casa Amor, and came out as the winning couple. The two lovebirds have been going strong ever since, and in April they announced their engagement as Kai got down on one knee while boating in Cambridge. During the romantic proposal in Cambridge, Sanam was dressed in bridal white while Kai opted for a matching coloured jacket. They passionately kissed one another in another lovely photo before celebrating by popping champagne. They recently revealed why their relationship has lasted longer than other couples' relationships from the programme as they took a swipe at their co-stars. Speaking to OK! magazine, the couple explained the sacrifices they have had to make to maintain their relationship. Kai said: 'The difference between Love Island couples and ordinary couples is that there is a lot of pressure on the relationship when you leave the villa. 'What makes Sanam and I different is that you have to decide what you want more: the fame that comes with the show, or the person you're in a relationship with. 'You get invited to parties but we wanted each other more than that lifestyle. We enjoy every moment together and we do things the other person is interested in, too.' The couple are famously humble, with Sanam going straight back into social work after the show, instead of launching a career as an influencer.
