Courtney Stodden gets engaged just days after flushing ring from ex-fiancé down the toilet
Courtney Stodden is engaged again, according to a new report — just days after making headlines for flushing her previous ring down the toilet.
Stodden’s boyfriend, Jared Safier, proposed to the model on June 11 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., sources told TMZ Thursday.
The Emmy-winning producer, 41, reportedly popped the question to Stodden, 29, at the hotel’s Blvd Restaurant & Bar but waited until they were home in Brentwood, Calif., to formally get down on one knee.
The sources said Safier bought a 5-carat, radiant-cut diamond ring that the reality star first admired in February when they walked past a display in the hotel’s lobby during an Oscars party.
Stodden showed off the sparkler in a series of bikini selfies posted to Instagram Wednesday with the caption, “Blind for love and ready for summer!!”
Her rep did not return Page Six’s request for comment.
Stodden and Safier began dating last summer, shortly after she called off her two-year engagement to Chris Sheng in July 2023.
The “Celebrity Big Brother UK” alum, who is non-binary and uses both she/her and they/them pronouns, stunned fans last week when she announced she had tossed her engagement ring from Sheng, 44, down her toilet.
“I’m just doing a little last-minute spring cleaning before summer. I guess diamonds aren’t always a girl’s best friend after all. Toodle-oo! Onto the next chapter,” she said in a video obtained by TMZ.
The clip showed Stodden grabbing the ring from a jewelry container before holding it above the toilet, plopping it in and flushing it down the drain.
The former couple began dating in 2017 and got engaged four years later. By 2023, they had broken up, with feelings of jealous and insecurities reportedly contributing to the split.
Stodden rose to fame with her controversial marriage to Doug Hutchison in 2011 when they were 16 and 51 years old, respectively.
The pair separated in 2016, but she did not file for divorce until 2018. They settled the case in 2020 after she had already moved on with Sheng.
Stodden has since gone on to claim she was “absolutely taken advantage of” and “groomed” by Hutchison.
“I really did want to marry Doug because I thought I was in love with him, but there was also something in me as a child that made me question if my father really loved me. So it was like this dichotomy,” she said on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in 2022.
The “Couples Therapy” alum went on to claim that the “Green Mile” actor had been “emotionally abusive” to her and “at times physical.”
Hutchinson’s rep brushed off the allegations as “old news” at the time.
