Rory Gibson’s Fiancée Reveals Stunning Oval Center Engagement Ring from Maui Proposal

Alicia Ruelas announced her engagement to Rory Gibson with a four‑photo Instagram gallery from a Maui beach on October 16, 2022, and the images include closeups of an oval‑center engagement ring that caught the last hit of sun. Photo credit on republished reports is JPI Studios, and Ruelas’s caption read exactly, "AHHHH! I’m going to be future Mrs. Gibson😭🤍💍 I’m in shock!!!"

The gallery shows cinematic shorelines and the couple in motion: one image finds Ruelas in a bright pink dress as waves break behind her, another captures her jumping into Gibson’s arms with her left hand draped over his shoulder so the diamond faces the sun. Closeups focus on the stone and setting; the published description notes, "Oval center stone. Slim pavé band. Clean lines. No excess," and one image freezes the oval‑cut diamond as it flashes in sunset light.

Provenance for the rings links back to General Hospital co‑star Ryan Paevey. Rory Gibson posted a screenshot of a video call on his Instagram Story with the caption, "The homie… making my wedding ring." Multiple outlets report Paevey — who runs the jewelry line Fortunate Wanderer and sells handcrafted pieces while publishing outdoors photography — as the maker; some pieces of coverage state Paevey handcrafted the engagement ring shown in Ruelas’s gallery while other reports emphasize he has been making Gibson’s wedding band. Both claims are recorded in the coverage.

The relationship between Gibson and Ruelas is repeatedly described as long‑standing. Soap Opera News and other outlets state the pair met in high school and celebrated 14 years together in 2025; other reports call Ruelas Gibson’s "girlfriend of 10‑plus years" or say the couple has been together "for almost 15 years." The consistent fact across reports is the social‑media announcement on October 16, 2022, from a Maui beach at sunset; individual outlets variably name Mākena Beach, Secret Cove Beach, or simply "a beach in Maui, Hawaii."

Gibson’s on‑screen identity augments the off‑screen moment: he is known for playing Michael Corinthos on General Hospital and Noah Newman on The Young and the Restless. Paevey’s dual role as actor and jeweler frames this engagement as a creative crossover between Port Charles drama and studio‑bench craftsmanship — a personal provenance that ties the couple’s decade‑plus history to a hand‑made object.

Whether Paevey crafted the oval engagement ring Ruelas photographed or is finalizing Gibson’s wedding band, the record in social media and republished photo galleries leaves one detail definite: the ring shown is an elongated oval‑cut stone set on a slim pavé band, and the announcement that began with Ruelas’s Instagram post on October 16, 2022 remains the primary documentation of the proposal.
