Recently, the former Miss USA winner Shana Moakler made the headlines for her unique move. She was married to Travis Barker and after his wedding with Kourtney Kardashian, Moakler announced that her stunning engagement ring will hit the auction block. After Kourtney and Travis tied the knot in Santa Barbara, Moakler spilled the big news.
Moakler and Barker share two children together – 18-year-old Landon and 16-year-old Alabama.
Shana Moakler’s Engagement Ring Finally Sold!
Shana Moakler decided to auction her eye-catching engagement ring two weeks after Barker’s recent marriage. The Cartier ring is platinum and features a central solitaire cut diamond. She thought of selling the ring on Worthy, an online jewelry resell platform. Starting from $51K, the bids kept increasing. However the former pageant queen was willing for it to fetch more.
“I’m hoping it sells for $120,000. It was worth about $160,000,” the former pageant queen told the magazine.
There were 17 bids and one lucky buyer, who purchased the ring for $96,500.
“I think it is a beautiful piece and truly was my dream ring,” Moakler shared. “However, that chapter of my life is over and even though wearing it at one time brought me great joy, I hope it will find a new home and continue to bring someone as much happiness as it once did to me. It’s truly an iconic ring!”
Shana Moakler Has No Hard Feelings For The Newlyweds
Travis Barker’s ex-wife put the ring up for auction shortly after the Blink 182 drummer married Kourtney Kardashian in Italy. That gave the fans a hint that it was all about the wedding but she didn’t hesitate to clear the misunderstanding. “I think it is a beautiful piece and truly was my dream ring,” Moakler shared. “However, that chapter of my life is over and even though wearing it at one time brought me great joy, I hope it will find a new home and continue to bring someone as much happiness as it once did to me. It’s truly an iconic ring!”
Nearly a week after Barker and Kardashian tied the knot, Moakler told ET she wishes the happy couple “a lovely marriage.” She added, “It was a beautiful gesture to include my children in such a gorgeous affair. I’m also happy that Alabama, Atiana and Landon had the opportunity see Italy.”
Moakler previously set the record straight about her feelings toward the couple in February, telling ET, “I think people, because of things that have happened in the press, or comments that I have made, people think that I’m really obsessed with the relationship or I’m bitter or I’m jealous, but I’m really just not.”
