The Summer of 2018 will be remembered for gifting the world with a slew of surprisingly-quick celebrity engagements (opens in new tab). Not convinced? Let's recap the biggest OMG WHAT celebrity engagements of the last three months.

In June, Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande (opens in new tab) confirmed that they were engaged (rumors of an engagement started after they were together for just three weeks). In early July, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin (opens in new tab) got engaged during a vacation to the Bahamas (opens in new tab). And today, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas (opens in new tab) confirmed their own engagement, after speculation that began in late July (opens in new tab).

Now that Pete, Justin, and Nick have all put their respective rings on it, let's take a moment to compare the rings that say "Hey, I know we haven't been dating that long, but let's make this thing legally binding."

Ariana Grande

In the Summer 2018 quickie engagement outbreak, Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson are the patients zero.

Ariana didn't formally debut the ring on Instagram, but she did start wearing it during all of her public appearances and performances.

Pete reportedly (opens in new tab) spent $93,000 on the three-carat pear-shaped ring. In an interview with GQ (opens in new tab), Pete revealed that he texted Ariana pictures of engagement rings after their first date and that she responded by telling him which were her favorites.

"The day I met her, I was like, 'Hey, I'll marry you tomorrow,'" Pete said. "She was calling my bluff. I sent her a picture [of engagement rings]. I was like, 'Do you like any of these?' She was like, 'Those are my favorite ones,' and I was like, 'Sick.'"

Hailey Baldwin

Next up, we have Hailey Baldwin, who is proving herself to have superhero strength as she carries around the ginormous ring Justin Bieber proposed with (opens in new tab). Justin picked out the elongated, oval-shaped diamond himself. It's reportedly between six and ten carats and has an estimated value of half a million dollars (opens in new tab).

Hailey is notoriously low-key about her relationship on social media, but she has posted a couple of photos that show off her rock.
