Slate's ring — shown off on social media, too — looks like it could be an antique prong-set sapphire with diamonds on a gold band, according to People magazine.
Shattuck, an artist, is the curator of his mom's gallery, Dedee Shattuck Gallery.
Slate previously dated action star Chris Evans, with whom she starred in "Gifted." Their on-again, off-again relationship was called off for good in 2018. She was married to comic Dean Fleischer-Camp from 2012-2016.
