'The Kissing Booth' Star Joey King Reveals She's Engaged With Director Steven Piet; Here's Why Engagement Ring Is Unique

Joey King announced her engagement to her director lover Steven Piet on Instagram on Tuesday.

Just one week after the proposal, which occurred on their third anniversary as couple, the 22-year-old actress shared a carousel of photos to social media.

With difficult terrain and the region's twisted trees visible in the distance, it seemed as if Joey and Steven were on vacation at Joshua Tree National Park. King happily flaunted her new jewelry, which she paired with a black manicure, to her over 20 million Instagram followers.

Steven claimed the weather was "less than ideal" for the proposal, but it was a "perfectly imperfect" day to ask his best friend to spend the rest of their lives with him. He produced and directed two of the season's episodes, "Free" and "Plan B," for Hulu's The Act, where she appeared as Gypsy Rose Blanchard.

Joey dated her Kissing Booth co-star Jacob Elordi for a year before her romance with Piet, but the couple secretly split in 2018 before filming the sequel or third installment of the iconic adolescent rom-com. When Howard Stern asked her in 2020 if she would date an actor again after their break-up, she said, "No I couldn't."

Additional photos were given by Piet, showing close-ups of King's one-of-a-kind ring. King flashed her ring finger in one frame, displaying the one-of-a-kind diamond. The yellow-gold ring, designed by Mociun, comprises a diamond-encrusted geometric band layered on top of an oval-cut diamond in an unusual east-west arrangement.

Turning a stone on its side to create an east-west design is one of the most popular engagement-ring styles for 2022. King stated that Piet had proposed a month before, on February 2nd, Daily Mail reported.

Olivia Landau, creator and CEO of The Clear Cut, described the ring as "an elongated oval diamond positioned east-west on a gold band with a single epaulet and baguette stone on one side." A similar design, pending the quality of the stone, would retail for roughly $20,000 to $30,000."

While the public has just recently learned of the couple's engagement, it turns out they've already been enjoying their new position as husband and wife-to-be for a few weeks. Piet proposed to King on February 2, making her "the happiest lady alive," according to King's Instagram caption, as per Aol.
