Actress/singer Hilary Duff has sparked rumours she's taking her relationship with hockey star MIKE COMRIE to the next level, after she was snapped wearing a ring on her wedding finger.

The 20-year-old star was spotted leaving Hollywood's Il Sole restaurant with National Hockey League (NHL) star Comrie on Friday night (15Aug08) when she flashed her left hand to reveal a ring.

And the shot has sent gossips into a spin - leading many to speculate over whether Duff and Comrie are engaged.

The couple has been dating for more than a year following Duff's split from Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden.
