Carino presented her with a large pink or yellow sapphire ring surrounded by a diamond halo. The relationship ended abruptly in early 2019, just before her major Oscar win for A Star Is Born, leading to much media speculation about the timing and reasons for the split.
Lüc Carl (2005–2011): The On-Again, Off-Again Muse
