Jon Gosselin Purchases Ring, Secretly Engaged

There was talk of engagement in our earlier story on Jon Gosselin and Hailey Glassman, but Jon put all that to rest when he told People, "No. We're just having a cool time and enjoying each other."

Well, you know the ancient proverb: Never believe a reality star that wears too much Ed Hardy (or any Ed Hardy at all, really).

So it shouldn't be a surprise that E! News has learned the couple purchased a ring from jeweler-to-the-stars Edouard Nahum on Sunday. The jeweler stopped by Christian Audigier's yacht to privately show the lovebirds a selection of rings.

Naturally, there's no use purchasing a ring if it's not going to be worn on the ring finger for maximum rumor exposure, and that's just what young Hailey did at the VIP Room in St.-Tropez late on Monday night until 5 a.m.

"They're engaged but nobody is allowed to say. They've been warned to keep it secret," says a source who is close to Nahum.

Alright, that is enough, Source. We can't take anymore. This is the longest Ed Hardy commercial ever. Or longest Jon & Kate Plus 8 promo ever. Either way, if we have to mention Christian Audigier one more time, something bad will happen.

It was just over three weeks ago when Jon and Kate officially announced their divorce; see what other celeb couples have called it quits since then in our Big Celebrity Splits gallery. We’re averaging about one a week, so good for no one.
