Tennis pro Aryna Sabalenka joked that her engagement ring from entrepreneur Georgios Frangulis could have been even bigger.

Sabalenka, 27, opened up about the size of her massive sparkler from fiancé Frangulis, 37, while chatting with the Broadcast Boys on Wednesday, March 25.

“Sources estimate your engagement ring has how many carats?” the reporter asked Sabalenka, who guessed, “12?”

“Correct,” he answered, before questioning if that was what she requested when picking out a ring.

Sabalenka first announced her engagement on March 4 via Instagram. In the pic, Frangulis got down on one knee while being surrounded by flowers and proposing with an oval diamond set on a band with even more rocks. “You & me, forever ♾️ 3.3.26 💍🤍,” she captioned the post.

In her social media post, Sabalenka uploaded a zoomed-in pic of her husband-to-be while giving Frangulis a kiss. “I can finally call him something else… FIANCÉ 💍,” she wrote alongside the snap.

According to Diamond World, the ring is estimated to cost around $1 million.

Sabalenka previously praised her ring earlier this month during a press conference at the Indian Wells Open, which took place in Palm Springs, California. When asked why she played the match with her ring on, Sabalenka cheekily replied, “I hope that my opponent will get distracted by this diamond and it’s going to benefit me.”

The tennis pro said that she wasn’t nervous about damaging the ring because she “double checked” that it was sturdy enough. “I was pretty confident wearing this ring.”
