Young Hilary Duff, who was once locked in an eternal competition with Lindsay Lohan over who would be the most famous Disney star (wonder who won that?) appears to be engaged. The singer/actress was spotted wearing quite the ring on her left hand while she ate dinner with boyfriend Mike Comrie on Friday night.

What happens when Hilary Duff leaves the house wearing a ring on her wedding finger?

She ignites a flurry of speculation that she and her boyfriend of one year, pro-hockey player Mike Comrie, are engaged to be married.

Duff’s camp is not confirming or denying that Comrie popped the question…

When asked if they’re engaged, a rep for the singer-actress did not comment.

Duff was spotted wearing the mystery ring on Friday night when the two hit L.A.’s Il Sole restaurant for dinner.

If it’s not an engagement ring, perhaps the bauble was an early birthday present from Comrie, who is an heir to Canada’s The Brick furniture empire. Last year, Comrie, 27, reportedly gave Duff a $100,000 Mercedes to celebrate her 20th. She turns 21 on Sept. 28.

Seven weeks seems a little too early for even the earliest of birthday presents. At first I thought the ring didn’t have a center stone and probably wasn’t an engagement ring. But if you look closely at the pictures it seems like there is a stone and it’s slid to the side of Duff’s hands. Here are the pictures – thanks to WENN. We’ll let you be the judges.
