Wedding jewelry usually centers on the engagement ring a woman wears, and it comes with an expectation of quality and extravagance. Men wear expensive rings too, chosen with the same attention to material and craftsmanship as any other piece of jewelry they own.
The seven men here range from George Clooney’s plain platinum band to Dwayne Johnson’s plan for a pair of custom workout rings, one to be cut from a Tyrannosaurus rex bone. Each ring says something about how its wearer treats marriage, on ordinary days and in front of cameras alike.
Male Celebrities & Their Wedding Rings
Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth’s wedding band is a platinum piece set with square black gemstones around the edge, and the material suits the life it has to survive. Platinum is denser and more scratch-resistant than gold, a property that matters for an actor who trains for months and shoots action sequences in the same ring he wears at home. He has been married to Elsa Pataky since 2010, and the couple has three children.
Brooklyn Beckham
Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding band is a diamond piece valued at about $62,000, modest next to the roughly $1.2 million engagement ring he gave Nicola Peltz and the fortune behind their April 2022 wedding. The ceremony took place at the Peltz family estate in Palm Beach, Florida, owned by Peltz’s father, billionaire investor Nelson Peltz.
Beckham underplays his career with the same restraint as his ring, choosing photography over the football and fashion businesses that made his parents famous. He published the 2017 book What I See and hosted the video series Cookin’ With Brooklyn in 2021.
Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynolds wears a vintage-style, hammered yellow-gold wedding band with a noticeably thick profile, a throwback choice for an actor whose public persona runs on being in on the joke. He married Blake Lively in 2012 after proposing with a pink diamond ring, and the couple has four children.
Reynolds took that same throwback spirit from his ring into business, buying Welsh football club Wrexham A.F.C. with actor Rob McElhenney in 2020, a purchase most people read as a stunt until it became the docuseries Welcome to Wrexham and a genuine second career.
Nick Jonas
Nick Jonas wears an 18k ethical yellow gold wedding band from Chopard, a choice of sourcing that matches the care he and Priyanka Chopra put into their December 2018 wedding. The two-part ceremony honored both of their backgrounds, a Christian ceremony on Saturday followed by a Hindu ceremony on Sunday, each with its own traditional dress.
The blending goes back further than the wedding. Jonas started on Broadway at age seven, fronted the Jonas Brothers with his siblings, and later moved into television as a coach on The Voice, crossing genres the way his wedding crossed cultures.
George Clooney
George Clooney wears a plain, unadorned platinum wedding band, a restrained choice for a wedding that drew a guest list of actors, directors, and longtime friends from across the industry. He married Amal Alamuddin, a human rights lawyer, in Venice in 2014, and the two wear matching bands.
That plain-band instinct shows up in Clooney’s business dealings too. He co-founded the tequila brand Casamigos and sold it in a deal worth up to $1 billion in 2017.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
Dwayne Johnson‘s primary wedding band is solid gold set with diamonds, worn since he married singer Lauren Hashian in 2019 after a 12-year relationship. His training schedule gets its own ring. In a 2019 interview, he said he was having two lightweight alternatives custom-made for workouts. “One is from a bull’s horn. And the other is from a Tyrannosaurus rex bone,” he told WSJ. Magazine.
The same appetite for the oversized shows up in his business as it does in his rings. Johnson moved from WWE into film and picked up the tequila brand Teremana along the way, a venture that trades on the reputation his wrestling career established.
Neil Patrick Harris
Neil Patrick Harris and husband David Burtka, a chef and actor, wear matching silver wedding bands in a traditional design, plain next to the character that made Harris famous. They married in Italy in 2014, where Elton John was among the guests and performed live during the celebration.
The plain band belongs to the private half of Harris’s life. The flashy half shows up in his work. He spent nine seasons sharpening comic timing as Barney Stinson, the flashiest character on How I Met Your Mother, and has hosted the Oscars and the Tony Awards multiple times, work that has brought him a Tony and an Emmy of his own.
Plain Platinum or Precious Stones
Clooney keeps his band to plain platinum, while Hemsworth’s platinum ring is set with square black gemstones around the edge. Jonas wears yellow gold, and Beckham wears a diamond band valued at $62,000. Johnson has gone furthest of all, having two workout rings custom-made from a bull’s horn and a Tyrannosaurus rex bone. The range across these seven shows a wedding ring holds as much personal signature as any other piece a man wears.
