Shanna Moakler got engaged to Travis Barker at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion and was married to him from 2004 to 2008. However, according to recent reports, Shanna has officially sold her engagement ring to the highest bidder from Travis.
After placing her engagement ring up for auction last Friday, Shanna Moakler was able to sell it for $96,500. The round-cut diamond jewelry is 4.01 carats.
The Worthy.com listing for the Cartier sparkler garnered 17 bids but did not disclose the identity of the big spender. Moakler told Us Weekly ahead of the auction’s start that she hoped to get six figures for the gemstone.
The former pageant queen told the magazine:
“I’m hoping it sells for $120,000. It was worth about $160,000.”
Despite the fact that Moakler placed the ring up for auction soon after the Blink-182 drummer married Kourtney Kardashian in Italy, she insisted the decision had nothing to do with the wedding.
“I’m sure people would assume that [it’s related to the wedding], but I simply wanted to find a proper seller and Worthy.com is the most professional and I know will give this piece the attention it deserves.”
Moakler and Barker married in 2004 in a “True Romance”-themed wedding, which triggered Moakler when Kardashian and Barker used the movie as inspiration for a Halloween costume. Two years later, Barker filed for divorce, but the couple reunited twice before finalizing their divorce in 2008. Stay tuned to Thirsty for more updates.
