Some people find their right person and live happily ever after, and some others have to explore a little more to find their perfect match. For celebrities, being in the spotlight comes with a price. Due to their “lack” of privacy, we all get to know their triumphs and failures in love. We also have to agree that Hollywood stars don’t have perfect lives, and they also go through heartbreaks just like the rest of us.

However, some celebrities face more break-ups, engagements, and weddings than the average person. Therefore, to find out more, engagement ring experts at Steven Stone analyzed a comprehensive list of over 300 celebrities who have been engaged or married to find out who’s racked up — or shelled out —the highest number of engagement rings.

Number of engagements: 10

Elizabeth Taylor was surprisingly engaged ten times. Taylor’s first fiancé was William Pawley Jr., and her second was Conrad Hilton, Jr., who became her first spouse and first divorce. She gave love one more chance and got engaged to actor Michael Wilding, which became her third fiancé and second husband.

Elizabeth married for a third time with late producer Mike Todd, and after he died tragically, she got married to Todd’s close friend Eddie Fisher, which became her fifth fiancé.

Taylor later moved on to be notoriously engaged and married. After multiple divorces and failed marriages, she tried once more time with Richard Burton, then politician John Warner, and construction worker Larry Fortensky. Victor Luna and Dennis Stein, gave engagement rings to Taylor but eventually they called it off.
