The magic of Instagram means you can let millions know about your pending nuptials with the snap of a cameraphone. Maybe that’s the case with Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill.
In some cases, the rings were already returned before these 12 stars to post engagement rings on Instagram even got around to hiring a wedding planner. Luckily the pictures serve as documented proof.

Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran
Before the Iyanla specials and Breezy’s break baby, the general assumption was that Brown knew he was prone to spazzing and wanted to reconcile by throwing some ice on Karrueche’s ring finger. We know how that story ended.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
You know the queen of selfies had to take a picture of the ring. After reports of Kanye West renting out the entire AT&T Park to give Kim a lavish proposal, it wasn’t long before proof surfaced on her Instagram account.
Ludacris and Euodoxie Agnan
Despite doing nothing wrong, Ludacris’ new bride caught all the shade from his dealings with other women. For her troubles, Luda laced her with a sky-high proposal from his private jet. The pair were tying the knot less than a week later, and both events were chronicled via Instagram.
Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill
After being with Safaree for over a decade, Nicki and Meek Mill are sealing their whirlwind courtship with a trip down the aisle. The matter is further complicated since Nicki and Drake already pulled the wedding prank once.
Kevin Hart and Eniko Parrish
There were no jokes when Kevin Hart dropped a ring the size of an all-day jawbreaker on his girlfriend Eniko Parrish last August.
Ciara and Future
Maybe that $500K ring went back as many suspected, or Ciara just got rid of it. Either way, what looked to be a lifetime of wedded bliss for Future and Ci-Ci turned into a case of calling the whole thing off.
Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade
D-Wade’s “break baby” threatened to split up this power couple, but they reconciled, re-evaluated things and took it to the altar after Wade proposed in March 2014.
Erica Mena and Bow Wow
Despite some high-strung behavior on VH1’s Love & Hip-Hop, Erica Mena proved to be the woman to teach an old dog new tricks. Mena and Bow Wow collectively got their shine on when he posted a pic of her engagement ring next to his Rolex in an Instagram pic posted September 21, 2014.
Kelly Rowland and Tim Witherspoon
They probably didn’t mean to hit Instagram, but when Kelly Rowland gave her friend a shout out, you had to notice the ring weighing down her hand. Bossip broke the news in November 2013, and it’s clear they were correct with the early call.
Russell Westbrook and Nina Earl
He’s a beast on the court, but Russ showed his sweet side during a pose with his longtime girlfriend Nina Earl in September of 2014. There’s no shame in locking down a wedding ring before a potential championship ring.
Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney
Even “monsters” eventually have to settle down. Just after Valentine’s Day, the Chicago Fire star put some serious ice on Lady Gaga’s ring finger.
Adrienne Bailon and Lenny Santiago
It’s safe to say the stain of the Kardashian clan was permanently removed when former 3LW member and current star of The Real confirmed her engagement to industry executive Lenny Santiago.
