EXCLUSIVE: The Bachelor’s Irena Srbinovska breaks her silence on rumours Locky Gilbert has proposed – after she was spotted wearing a giant sparkler on THAT finger

Rumours have been circulating about Locky Gilbert and Irena Srbinovska’s relationship status ever since she shared a photo to Instagram with what looked like an engagement ring on her finger.

And Irena, 31, has now addressed speculation that Locky secretly popped the question.

When contacted for comment on Tuesday, Irena laughed and told Daily Mail Australia: ‘We are not engaged.’

Her statement comes just hours after Locky assured fans ‘you will see us together for awhile’ after one commented said they loved seeing them together. 

The ring Irena has been conspicuously wearing while she and Locky are in hotel quarantine in Perth was actually given to her by Locky on The Bachelor.

After breaking runner-up Bella Varelis’ heart during the season finale, the tour guide declared his love for Irena and gave her the ring to remember the special occasion.

The jewel features a large purple gem in the middle and is flanked by two marquise-shaped diamonds.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed, however, that Irena was wearing the ring on her left hand rather than her right in her Instagram photos. She had originally worn it on her right hand on the show.

The jewel is certainly memorable after it was ruthlessly slammed by viewers during the finale last month.

Fans of the show flocked to Twitter to mock Locky’s taste, including one who said: ‘That’s one ugly ring… but like Locky’s tattoos.’ 

‘What in the gumball machine plastic ring is that?!’ wrote another.

A third joked: ‘Only Locky would just bung a ring of that calibre in his pocket. When he proposes he will probably chuck the ring at her head while she cruises the block on a scooter in Bali.’
