She won the show, but Sam still hasn’t received one important prize.
Since their split has been confirmed, The Bachelor’s Blake and Sam have been facing an onslaught of media interviews and have been asked almost every question under the sun.
We thought we knew the answer to one very big one. Where’s the engagement ring?
TheFIX recently reported that Sam was still in possession of the $58,000 Bunda engagement ring, presented to her when Blake asked for her hand in marriage.
Yet now, it has been confirmed by Sam that she doesn’t have the ring in her possession.
Sam told News.com.au, “I don’t actually have it yet. The plan was that I’d get given the ring at 9pm on the finale night, which was if everything went well, so I don’t have it.”
Sam explained she wore the ring for the two days while her and Blake were in South Africa, but hasn’t seen it since, “I have been told that I was going to get it but haven’t yet. When I went back to Australia I had to give it back, I never wore it in Australia.
Sam previously mentioned that jewellery brand Bunda had given her the ring to keep and promised to have it remodeled, as it was too large for her finger.
However, filming on the show ended two months ago and it has been nearly a week since Sam and Blake’s break-up went public and the location of the ring is still yet to surface.
When asked if she would sell the ring for cash, Sam said, “It does cross your mind, I have to pay off my debts, just like everybody else I guess, but who knows. I’m ready to put this whole thing behind me, if I end up getting it then I’ll deal with it then.”
