Brandy and music executive Ryan Press announce engagement

Singer and actress Brandy recently announced that she is engaged to music executive Ryan Press. According to Us Weekly, Press got down on one knee over Christmas. However, this may not have been such a big surprise.

"I keep hearing about a ring. People keep calling me, hinting to me about it, but I don't know," she told Sister2Sister magazine in August. "I'm going to be patient and let it happen and just let it be. . . I guess it will happen when it's the right time."

Well, it seems as though Christmas was the perfect time for Press to give Brandy her engagement ring. This will be Brandy's first marriage. She has a 10-year-old daughter, Sy'rai with ex love Robert Smith.

Although the vast majority cannot afford the bauble that Press gave to Brandy, ladies can still enjoy a big rock on their finger - and at a much more reasonable price. Purchase costume jewelry such as the 1.79 TCW Round Cubic Zirconia 18k Yellow Gold-Plated Bridal Engagement Ring Wedding Band Set for much less.
