Appearing on ‘Live with Kelly and Michael’, Hayden Panettiere has confirmed her engagement to Wladimir Klitschko.

The actress walked onto the talk show with huge a boa constrictor around her neck to scare the hosts, but they still noticed a diamond ring on Hayden’s hand.

“I’m sort of distracted, not just by the snake, but there’s a very large diamond ring on your finger,” Kelly Ripa said, “I’m not sure if you want to announce anything . Does that signify anything, is that a promise of something?” The 24 year-old first told the hosts that it “might” mean something. Then she added: “I mean, I think it speaks for itself.”

Kelly then directly asked “Are you engaged?” and Hayden replied, “Yes, I am,” confirming that way that she was Klitschko’s fiancée.

E!News hired the services of Chris Capri of Capri Jewelry Inc to provide details on the ring and he estimates the ring is worth $500,000 and the diamond is around 6 carats. “The diamond is an emerald cut, which automatically requires a very high clarity grade,” Capri explains. “The ring looks to be rose gold with a split-shank setting.”

The couple first met in 2009 and dated for two years before splitting up but they reconciled this April.
