Girardi 'still wearing engagement ring'

Vienna Girardi has been spotted wearing her engagement ring.

The 24-year-old former waitress, who split from Jake Pavelka earlier this week, has been photographed by Us Weekly magazine crying while wearing the $50,000 (£34,000) Neil Lane ring in Los Angeles.

A spokesperson for the reality couple confirmed their separation yesterday but declined to give any further information, although Girardi later took to her Twitter account to deny speculation that she had been unfaithful.

The marketing representative and Pavelka met on the 14th instalment of The Bachelor where he proposed to her in the season finale. It had previously been reported that they were planning to marry next summer.
