Actress Ashley Benson is Engaged to Oil Heir Brandon Davis—See Her Jaw-Dropping Ring!

Best known for her role in the TV series Pretty Little Liars, actress Ashley Benson excitedly announced her engagement to oil heir Brandon Davis. Speculation about Benson and Davis’ romance began after the pair were spotted courtside at a LA Lakers game in January 2023. They were also seen together at a mutual friend's birthday party and were photographed in early February with actress Emma Roberts and her boyfriend Cody John during a double date. The couple shared their news on Instagram, with Ashley re-sharing Brandon's heartfelt post referring to her as the love of his life and revealing her enormous oval-cut diamond engagement ring. Before her relationship with Davis, Benson dated rapper G-Eazy and had previously been in a two-year relationship with actress and model Cara Delevingne.

Who is Brandon Davis?

Davis, the grandson of a billionaire oil magnate, is an heir to an immense fortune. His grandfather Marvin Davis amassed his wealth through lucrative business ventures in the oil and entertainment sectors. As stated in his New York Times obituary in 2004, Marvin Davis made a strategic move in the early 1980s when he sold his oil assets and redirected his investments toward the entertainment industry and real estate investments. This move led to his acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the Pebble Beach Company, the Aspen Skiing Company, and the renowned Beverly Hills Hotel. Brandon Davis has been making headlines long before meeting Benson. In the mid-2000s, he briefly dated actress Mischa Barton and he and Paris Hilton were frequently seen partying together during that period. Following the fizzle of his high-profile friendship with Hilton, Davis retreated from the public spotlight for a considerable period. However, in 2016, Davis, an avid art collector, resurfaced with an art-curating venture, opening an art pop-up in Beverly Hills. Titled Malpais, the exhibit showcased a collection of works by acclaimed Mexican artist Bosco Sodi, of whom Davis is a fan.
