Reuben has accused Manhattan-based jeweller Allurez of selling him a seven-carat diamond ring for US$93,000 when it was actually valued at US$15,000. The lawsuit was reportedly filed back in 2021, with Reuben demanding the full US$93,000 for the diamond as well as legal fees and US$500,000 in damages.

Lawyers for Allurez responded, saying that Reuben’s allegations were “mere puffery”.

It’s unclear how Reuben and Habba first crossed paths, but we do know that they got married five years ago, in 2020. Although they rarely post photos of one another, Habba did share a glimpse into their relationship last September when she showed off a gift he’d bought her – a wine bottle opener disguised as a gun. “Coolest gift award goes to my husband. Happy wife, happy life,” she wrote.
