Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck lived their first love story in 2002, but they went their separate ways after two years of romance. The singer and the actor met again in 2021. JLo had separated from Marc Anthony, her third husband, and just ended her engagement to Alex Rodriguez, and Ben was divorced from Jennifer Garner, mother of his children Violet, Seraphina and Samuel. After almost 20 years, they decided to give each other another chance. On April 8, 2022, the star of The Accountant asked Max and Emme’s mother to be his wife and she accepted. On July 16, and in the most absolute secrecy, they got married in Las Vegas, but they had a second wedding: on August 20, at the actor’s house in Georgia.
On the same date in August, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce amid rumors of a crisis. It was learned that JLo and Ben had not lived together since April. The divorce of the two stars will be made official on February 20. After a previous agreement, they will keep the properties and assets they managed to acquire during the time their marriage lasted and the sale of the mansion they bought for 60 million dollars is pending.
JLo: The 2022 engagement ring is non-negotiable
Jennifer will keep the engagement ring that Ben gave her in April 2022. It is a platinum ring, crowned by an 8.5-carat green diamond, which has a white diamond on each side and is valued at $5 million. The jewel, signed by Tamara Rahaminov, Nicol Goldfiner and Ilan Portugali, has an inscription “I’m not going anywhere”, a very special phrase for the now ex-couple, since that is how the Batman protagonist signed the emails he sent to JLo at the time of their reunion. This ring is very special for the artist, because in addition to having symbolized her love for Affleck, it is her lucky color.
Ben Affleck gave her the first ring in 2002
When they first got engaged, the Daredevil star gave JLo a ring, valued at $2.5 million. It was a 6-carat pink diamond. The large ‘rock’, with a white diamond on each side, was created by Harry Winston and could be worth $6 million today. When they broke up in 2004, the New Yorker kept the jewel.
