They say that what is given as a gift should not be returned, and Dayanara Torres not only agrees… but she sports it on her wrist! The former Miss Universe surprised everyone on El Gordo y La Flaca by revealing what she did with the engagement ring that Marc Anthony gave her over 20 years ago. She didn't sell it or hide it away in a memory box: she transformed it into an elegant watch that she continues to wear to this day. But beyond the design, what is truly valuable is the message: that watch represents the most important commitment of all, the one she has to herself.
With a smile and complete ease, Dayanara explained that she has received three engagement rings throughout her life, but only one ended up being as symbolic as it is functional. "This is my engagement ring for me," she said playfully while showcasing the jewelry on her wrist. Because sometimes, the best fate for a ring is not to keep it hidden away, but to reinvent it with intention.
The watch, which caused a sensation on set—Lili Estefan called it "beautiful" live—is not just a pretty piece, but a constant reminder of self-love. “It reminds me of the commitment I have to myself,” Dayanara added, making it clear that empowerment can also shine with style. And what it has shown over the years is that the past doesn't have to hurt... it can be transformed into a purposeful jewel.
Although Dayanara and Marc's story lasted only a few years, from that relationship their sons, Cristian and Ryan, were born, who today feel deeply proud of both of them. The couple finalized their separation in 2004, but respect and affection have remained intact, something they have demonstrated by supporting their children together during key moments. Indeed, the piece that Dayanara is wearing on her wrist today is, as she herself stated, a "very personal" way to close that chapter... and celebrate who she is today.
