Taking to Instagram, Bella shared a video unboxing a brand new Cartier ring. The reality television alum couldn’t handle her excitement as she popped open the box.
“I’ve wanted this ring for over 5 years and i always hoped someone special would get this for me one day,” Bella wrote, adding that it is called a ‘love lock’ ring.
“But then I realised, why not make a promise to myself? A reminder to always love myself before loving anyone else.
“When I love someone I give them every part of my heart, I treat them with kindness, love, respect, loyalty and empathy, but when it comes to myself, I struggle to find a positive thing to say and I struggle to love myself.”
The influencer went on to say that she has now made a “promise” to herself when she looks at her new ring.
“Fall in love with yourself, show compassion, love, kindness and empathy the same way you would give it to a partner, give yourself your whole heart.
“My grandfather was with me every step of the way today, and so was mum & Dean who came with me. Forever grateful 🫶🏼✨.”
The beloved Bachie star was quick to receive plenty of support from her friends and fans.

“Yes to this !!!!” one enthusiastic user commented.
Another shared their own experience, writing: “I bought myself one for my 30th birthday. The biggest love of your life should be yourself. Always.”
“You deserve it all sis 😍,” a third penned.
Bella first hit screens on season eight of The Bachelor, ending in runner-up place behind Irena Srbinovska who won Locky Gilbert’s heart.
In September this year, the influencer split from her boyfriend Will Stokoe after a two year relationship.
“Will and I decided to take some time apart and go our separate ways to focus on ourselves,’ she said in a statement. “We have so much love and respect for each other but this is just what’s best for both of us now.
