Kanye West proposed to his girlfriend of 18 months Kim Kardashian on her birthday on Monday!
The 36-year-old rapper popped the question to the reality star with a huge 15-carat diamond ring at the AT&T Park baseball park in San Francisco, which he rented out and arranged for the words ‘PLEEESE MARRY MEEE!!!’ to flash up on the giant scoreboard along with a 50 piece orchestra to play. The band struck up the romantic ballad Young And Beautiful from film The Great Gatsby by singer Lana Del Rey, followed by his own hit with Keri Hilson and Ne-Yo, Knock You Down. When Kim said yes, her family and friends poured out of the dugouts to congratulate the couple.
On Tuesday morning, the delighted new mother posted a black and white picture of her new bling in front of the romantic scoreboard message, with the caption: ‘Yes!!!’
Fashion designer Kanye designed the ring with Kim’s favourite jewellery designer and close friend, Lorraine Schwartz. The cushion cut diamond is a flawless type 2A D-stone, the best diamond there is, and is thought to be worth 1.6 million.
