Cee Lo Green Is Engaged – Check Out His Bride-to-Be’s Ginormous Ring! (Exclusive Photo)
Here’s comes the bride … and her huge rock!
Cee Lo Green has confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE that he popped the question to longtime girlfriend Shani James about a year ago.
“It was just a typical night at the studio, but then again, not so typical cause I did something extra special, out of the ordinary,” Green, 41, tells PEOPLE. “I went and purchased a ring that we had seen together, maybe four or five months or so prior. I went back and purchased the ring and I just kind of had it stashed away in some old equipment. And I said, ‘Will you reach in there and grab something for me?’
To James’ surprise, Green had a special (and shiny) gift waiting for her.
“It was the most beautiful diamond ring I had ever seen in my life,” says James.
The Grammy-winning singer has been known for his outlandish choice of style — the time he dressed head to toe in feathers, or the time he wore a sequin jumpsuit, or how about the gold robe? — but we have to admit, he outdid himself on this purchase.
Though the happy couple have yet to start planning the wedding, Green says that he will be very proactive when the time comes.
“I’m a pretty hands on person,” he says. “We’ll be prepared to be spontaneous.”
What do you think of the ring? Sound off below!
