After Kim said yes, Kanye slipped a 15 carat diamond ring onto her finger and fireworks exploded in the sky as the rest of her family ran out of the dugouts.
He'd asked permission from the family matriarch for her daughter's hand in marriage earlier in the day.
Tobias Kormind, co-founder of specialist diamond jeweller 77 Diamonds, estimates Kim's dazzling ring is a cushion cut diamond, worth 'well over £1 million [$1.6m]'.
He told MailOnline: 'Kim's ring from Kanye looks like a 15 carat diamond Cushion cut. As its name suggests, the Cushion cut is a rectangular or square shape, with rounded corners that resemble a pillow.

'It's very similar looking to the Emerald cut which [ex-husband] Kris Humphries gave her. I would have presumed that Kanye would have been keen to get her a different shape of ring this time, which is possibly why he chose the Cushion cut.
'I would estimate that a diamond of this size and quality would be worth well over £1 million; Kim is a very lucky woman!'

A source exclusively told MailOnline: 'The drama starts here. Kris thinks it should be Rob now [she and Bruce] are separated and thinks it might be bad form to ask Bruce after the Kris Humphries wedding, but Kim and the girls are backing Bruce, they still see him as their father.
'Kris says Bruce may not even want the heat after the last circus. And the couple themselves may want to avoid an extravagant event. At this rate Kim and Kanye could elope.'
