The Kid Laroi, 19, sparks engagement rumours as he shops for diamond rings at Tiffany & Co. after dating girlfriend Katarina Deme, 18, for three years
Teenage rapper The Kid Laroi has sparked rumours he's about to propose to his girlfriend Katarina Deme.
The Stay singer, 19, was pictured looking at diamond engagement rings at a Tiffany & Co. store in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
He has been dating 18-year-old model Katarina for almost three years.
Laroi, whose real name is Charlton Howard, dressed casually in a black long-sleeve T-shirt and jeans as he walked around the shop with his security guard in tow.
The Sydney-born musician said in March last year the couple was already talking marriage despite their young age.

'We're just taking life how it goes. But sure, I would love to get married to Kat one day,' the Without You star told Vogue Australia.
During an earlier interview with The Kyle and Jackie O Show, Laroi revealed how he first met his girlfriend.
The Indigenous Australian hip-hop star said he never expected to fall in love so young, but did so soon after relocating from Sydney to LA, where Katarina is based.

'We met through a mutual friend that I had when I came around here,' he said.
'Around the time that I met her, I just put out the whole F*ck Love project and was not in the vibe of love.
'But I guess... you can't control some of that type of stuff. It was so ironic.'

Laroi recently made history as the youngest solo artist to top the Australian album charts.
Now he is on a mission to showcase his home country's rap scene to the world.
'I don't think America is completely switched on to how big [and] great the Australian music scene and culture is, but I think that's kind of my job to shed light,' he told youth radio station Triple J.
Laroi, who hails from the suburb of Waterloo, said he'd long dreamed of putting Sydney's rap scene on the map 'the way Drake did with Toronto'.

Born in Canada, rapper Drake often gushes about his home city of Toronto in his music, and even boasts a number of Toronto-themed tattoos.
Laroi added: 'You have to do it in a way where people get it and really see it for what it really is; how great the scene really is.
'That's the most important thing - I don't want people to overlook it or think because it's my country, I really want people to recognise Australia is the f**king future of music, in my opinion.'
During an earlier interview with The Kyle and Jackie O Show, Laroi revealed he first met his girlfriend shortly after moving from Sydney to Los Angeles
