The screen shows a champagne flute at the jewelry store's private client lounge, captioned: "Life is about celebrating extraordinary moments. #Blessed #LivingMyBestLife." His grandfather's vintage gold signet ring is clearly visible on his right hand—the family heirloom I spent months tracking down for his 35th birthday last year.
