Summary
- Alice Vanderpump was pictured with a large diamond ring, sparking her husband's anger.
- Kenneth Tong claims he proposed to Alice years prior with the same ring.
- Alice's representatives deny a proposal, stating she only tried the ring on jokingly.
Reality star Alice Vanderpump has found herself embroiled in a public dispute following a social media post by millionaire Kenneth Tong. Tong shared an image of the 24-year-old Made in Chelsea personality wearing an 18-carat diamond ring, alleging he had proposed to her. He further claimed to have gifted her luxury items, including designer clothing and jewelry, during a period in 2023 when they were close. Tong stated their friendship began on Instagram and was solidified when he visited her in China, where she was working as a model.
Representatives for Alice Vanderpump have vehemently denied Tong's account, asserting that she only tried on his ring as a jest and had minimal contact with him, meeting him only once abroad. The revelation has reportedly upset her husband, Sam Vanderpump, who is a member of a prominent television family and married Alice in December 2025. Sam had previously faced his own health battles, including liver and kidney failure, with Alice credited for her quick thinking in calling for an ambulance.
