Sophie Simmons, the daughter of the famous Gene Simmons and star of the reality TV show, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, is currently having engagement rumors since her audition for the X Factor. She was spotted in the event wearing some serious bling bling that is taught of as an engagement ring.
So, did she really just get engaged?
According to Sophie herself, it was actually her mother's ring and she apparently uses it for good luck. She was just spotted in an event for Capcom's Resident Evil 6 launch party when asked the question.
She adds that she just went in for the audition to try to do something that her parents couldn't help her with. She was just at the show's bootcamp for a week but she didn't say anything further about whether making it further into the competition.

Los Angeles (Reuters) - Kiss frontman Gene Simmons will marry his girlfriend of 28 years, the actress and former Playmate Shannon Tweed, in an October ceremony, his representative said on Thursday.
The wedding will put a traditional twist on a decidedly untraditional relationship between the hard rock icon and the model that, since 2006, has been chronicled in the reality TV show "Gene Simmons: Family Jewels" on cable network A&E.
The Israeli-born Simmons and the Canadian-born Tweed have two adult children together, Nick and Sophie.
An invitation for the wedding, which will be held on October 1 in Los Angeles, was created that contains drawings of the family done by Nick Simmons and a message by Sophie Simmons.
