Not About the Rock

When someone inquired about what she hopes her future engagement ring looks like, the Grey Suede owner made it clear that she’s not after the diamond. “Girl, I could get a ring pop and I’d be happy,” the reality starlet joked. Considering Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas just had a Vegas wedding complete with the candy jewelry, it’s not that far out of the realm of possibilities.

Keeping It Real

Raven was sure to note that she hasn’t been dreaming about her big day since she was a little girl. “I’ve never been the type to think about that or my wedding dress or a wedding venue,” she added with a shrugging emoji.
