On Wednesday, Sugar insisted she wasn’t back with Colosimo, despite the sparklers on her engagement finger.

“This is Alex, Anthony LaPaglia’s wife (the ring). We were just catching up. I’m not engaged to anyone,” she told Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday.

“She was showing me a ring she had and we were trying them on.”

Sugar insisted that she was not engaged to the actor or anyone else.

‘Who would I have found? It would be a pretty quick engagement wouldn’t it,” she said.

“I haven’t been on a date yet. I didn’t realize (people) were watching so closely. I was just catching up with friends.’

Colosimo’s secret boyfriend of 20 years went public with the shocking allegations that seemingly ended Sugar’s relationship with the actor.

Chelsea – not her real name – said she tried to arrange a meeting with Sugar and Colosimo in hopes of confronting the actor about his double life.
