Reality television star Kim Kardashian has revealed her US$2 million engagement ring after announcing plans to marry her NBA star boyfriend.
Kardashian, 30, told People magazine Kris Humphries popped the question at her Beverly Hills home on May 18.
She walked into her bedroom to find Humphries down on one knee with rose petals spelling out "Will you marry me?".
Kardashian told People she was "shocked" at the proposal
"I didn't expect this at all," she said.
"I never thought that it would happen at home, and I never thought now."
Humphries, a 26-year-old power forward with the New Jersey Nets, offered Kardashian a custom 20.5 carat diamond ring that he helped design with jeweller Lorraine Schwartz.
Sources have told TMZ the ring was worth nearly US$2 million (A$1.9 million).
Kardashian's family were quick to take to their favoured form of communication, social networking site Twitter, to tell the world about her engagement.
"My sister is engaged!!! I'm squealing with excitement! The princess has found her prince. I am so happy because @KimKardashian is happy," older sister Kourtney tweeted.
Younger sister Khloe, herself married to NBA star Lamar Odom, used her blog to spread the news.
"You have no idea how happy it makes me to say this… KIM IS ENGAGED!!! OMG! It feels so good to finally let the secret out," Khloe wrote.
But it does not seem every family member was privy to the news.
"My sister is engaged? Haha I had no idea!!.. Crazy being such a big family… Congrats @KimKardashian love you. Let's celebrate soon," step-brother and fellow reality TV star Brody Jenner tweeted.
