Their outing comes after the pair continued to fuel speculation that they were engaged when she wore the ring in another beloved video posted to Instagram on Monday.

The couple sat on an open-top bus as the soap star posed with her arm lovingly draped over his shoulder.

Maisie couldn’t wipe the smile from her face in the beloved clip, as she wore a form-fitting leopard print dress and a pair of large sunglasses.

On closer inspection, Maisie’s ring turned out to be more of a costume jewel than a diamond engagement ring.
