She introduced her hunky man at the same time she announced they were engaged to be married.
Now the loved-up TV host has given fans a closer look at her ring, which one diamond expert has valued at £14,500.
In the picture, which was taken in Seattle, Washington, a relaxed AJ is sitting in a café drinking a cuppa and eating a plate of waffles.
Grinning behind her mug, AJ’s hand rests on her face with ring taking centre stage.
Zack Stone, from UK retailer Steven Stone, said: “AJ’s engagement ring is a stunning piece that speaks volumes – both in design and sentiment.
“At its heart is a 1.5-carat cushion-cut diamond, known for its romantic, pillow-like shape and vintage charm.
“The centre stone is set in a cluster setting, where smaller diamonds delicately encircle the main gem, enhancing its brilliance and symbolizing the strength and support of a close-knit bond.
“The entire setting appears to be crafted in classic yellow gold, a timeless choice that represents warmth, tradition, and enduring love.
“Altogether, it’s a ring that blends elegance with meaningful symbolism – a truly fitting piece for such a joyful announcement. I’d estimate it to be worth $20,000.”
AJ was flooded with messages of congratulations from her famous pals after revealing the engagement.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “Hiya love,” followed by a heart, ring and puppy eyes emoji.
While the presenter star didn’t reveal the name of her man, she shared a string of loved-up snaps in which they embraced and kissed inside a photo booth.
Another snap saw AJ proudly show off her sparkler while wearing a gorgeous feathered dress.
Her partner – who had not previously been known by fans – looked suave in a cream suit, layered above a black tank top.
The Strictly star’s post attracted heaps of comments from her celeb friends, with Alexandra Burke writing: “Awww congrats babe! I love this for you!”
Jourdan Dunn added: “Congratulations!!!” while Johannes Radebe said: “Awww congrats,” and Anita Rani chimed in with: “congratulations.”
Joe Baggs, Henry Southan and Yinrun Huang also sent their love.
Up until now, AJ had been believed to be single.
In December 2021, there were rumours when she was on Strictly that she was dating her dance partner Kai Widdrington.
When quizzed on Strictly: It Takes Two, the duo laughed and appeared awkward, before Kai explained: “If people react like this then it means we are doing something right, because that is the way the dance should be danced.”
He went on to say they wanted to do the “passionate, fiery and intimate” dance justice.
“If people want to think that, then great but we are just doing our jobs, she was doing her job,” he added.
During her time on Channel 4’s Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, AJ gave an insight into her previous relationships.
TV presenter AJ does not have any children.
She said: “I’ve been cheated on by three ex-boyfriends.
“One of them was sleeping with my best friends.”
