One critic commented: “No diamond can ever be too big IMO. I just wish it wasn’t haloed, that’s what makes it gaudy.”

A third commenter slammed the star, writing: “She’s trying to be like the Kardashians.”
Another hater added: “Too big? No, not IMO. Too gaudy? Yes, I think so.”
Someone else claimed: “Looks like costume jewelry.”
A sixth comment read: “In my personal opinion: hell yes! I wouldn’t be comfortable with a big ass ring like that. It looks fake too.”

NEWLY ENGAGED
Jaylan popped the question in a romantic beach proposal.
Leah shared the exciting news in an Instagram post, showing off her sparkly diamond ring.
Her ring glistened and appeared to be thicker than her finger.
The Teen Mom 2 star tilted her hand and held it against her legs as she laid in bed.
She captioned her clip: “I’m obsessed.”
Leah tagged her new fiancé Jaylan in the video and re-posted her engagement photos to her Instagram Story.
At the beach, Jaylan proposed to her with a 4.7-carat custom ring, which was designed by jeweler Mike Nekta of New York Diamond Jewelry.
As they celebrated their first year anniversary, the MTV star told PEOPLE: “It feels amazing.
“I never imagined myself being here today, but I couldn’t imagine myself being anywhere else.”
Jaylan added: “I can’t even express how I’m feeling.
“I wanted this moment to be the perfect moment for her.”
The mom-of-three claimed that she “knew something was going on” as they enjoyed their dinner meal prepared by a private chef.
Leah claimed to have “had no idea it was going to be like this.”
She and her future husband met at a concert with friends and started dating.
Back in April, the pair bought a $500,000 home together, which they live in with Leah’s three children from past romances.
ENGAGEMENT RUMORS
Prior to the big reveal, rumors had been swirling about when it went down.
Fans suspected that Leah and Jaylan were engaged after she uploaded a dance video featuring daughters: Aleeah, 12, and Addie, seven.
While in the kitchen, Leah and her kids showed off their best moves as they listened to Demi Lovato’s song, Cool For The Summer.
Jaylan appeared in the background while the girls danced.
He then rushed forward and yanked the camera away.
Jaylan shook his head in disapproval and wagged his finger.
The TV personality captioned the post with a laughing emoji.
Fans were quick to point out what appeared to be some fancy new jewelry on the reality star’s ring finger.
They congratulated the couple on their engagement even though they had not yet made an official announcement.
One fan said: “Do I see a ring on ‘that’ finger?!?!”
Another agreed, adding: “I came searching the comments to see if anyone else noticed that.”
A third mentioned: “Watched a few times! Looks like she’s married! I see a wedding band and diamond.”
A fourth person wrote: “Is that an engagement ring?”
Another commenter added: “I’m so happy for you, Leah! Congrats! You deserve a good man and to be a happy, nice-looking family!”
Leah shares twin daughters Ali and Aleeah with ex-husband Corey Simms and her youngest Addie with a second former spouse, Jeremy Calvert.
