“Got me feeling like a baddie” – Gilbert Arenas excited after girlfriend Melli Monaco surprises him with engagement ring

On Monday, Gilbert Arenas shared great news with fans after getting an engagement ring. The former Washington Wizards star’s girlfriend, Melli Monaco, surprised him with a ring at a club.

Arenas shared a video on Instagram where some club staffers held a sign that read ‘Mean wear engagement rings too.’ Arenas was so busy watching them that he didn’t see Monaco holding an engagement ring.

At first, Arenas didn’t look ready or open to get the ring. But once the initial surprise faded, he fully embraced that moment and offered his hand to Monaco, who put on the ring.

Arenas then started running around the section, looking visibly happy with the ring, while the rest of the people there celebrated with him. He accompanied this post with a fun message, comparing himself to ‘a baddie.’

“@mellimonaco surprised me with an engagement ring. Got me feeling like a #Baddie. City Boys, they’re giving us engagement rings now,” Arenas wrote.

According to Who’s Dated Who, Arenas and Monaco have been together since 2022. They got engaged at the end of July, and the celebrations won’t stop anytime soon.
