Engaged. again. Ben Affleck and Jennifer LopezPhoto: Splashnews
Yesterday (Saturday) we woke up early in the morning to announce the engagements of Jennifer Lopez andBen Affleck, Almost 20 years after they canceled their first wedding. The two resumed the affair exactly a year ago, shortly after Lopez broke up with her previous fiancé, the baseball player Alex Rodriguez.
Affleck, who as mentioned this is the second time he has proposed marriage to Lopez, had to find a way to transcend the huge engagement ring he gave her somewhere in the early 2000s. So in terms of price – he certainly surpassed himself, but in terms of the ring itself – let’s just say that opinions in the system are divided.
More than that, the amount of engagement rings Lopez has received over the years from the various men in her life can suffice without a few women, and for us this is of course a reason to pull out the magnifying glass and gemology certificate we do not have, go back in time and crown the most equal engagement ring. So who skimped and who especially gasped? Men, try to prevent your spouse from reading the item, and if you are not successful – it is recommended to go to the nearest flower shop on the way back from work.

Jay Lou received her first engagement ring in 1997 from the Cuban actor Ohani Noah, Who contrary to expectation was very restrained in choosing the ring and chose for his future wife a four-carat diamond. The estimated cost of the engagement ring is $ 170,000, according to a diamond expert interviewed by CNBC Make It. To his credit it should be said that both were not particularly famous at the time.

In 2001, Jennifer received her second engagement ring, this time from her backing dancer Chris Judd, Whom she met during the filming of the LOVE DON’T COST A THING clip. Unlike the lyrics, Jay Lou’s love cost a lot of money and Jad gave the singer an engagement ring worth $ 400,000. Recall that he was an accompaniment dancer, yes? Not a millionaire. On the other hand, the gossip site Cheat Sheet claimed that Jad spent only $ 100,000 on the ring.
Whether it was $ 400,000 or just $ 100,000, we will mention that the sparks between Jay Lou and Affleck (in the first round) started flying in the air while the star and dancer were still married, so the fact that he did not mortgage the house for a ring actually worked in his favor.

Lopez received her third engagement ring in November 2002 from the fiery actor Ben Affleck, who knelt down and asked for her hand with a huge pink 6.1-carat diamond ring, valued at $ 2.5 million. “It’s the most magnificent thing I’ve ever seen,” the singer said in an interview withDiane Sawyer Shortly after the engagements.
Unfortunately Rabbi Ben and Jay Lou did not reach the stage of establishing the relationship and canceled the wedding a few days before the planned date, which was supposed to be on September 14, 2003. They pointed the finger of blame at the media: “Due to excessive media coverage around our wedding we decided to postpone the date “When we found ourselves seriously considering hiring three ‘fake’ brides and placing them at three different points, we realized something was wrong,” the official statement said. The two said they finally broke up in January 2004 and if Jay Lou knows what’s good for her, she’s kept the ring.

Of course Jay Lou did not leave her ring finger naked for a long time and a few months after breaking up with Affleck, she received her fourth engagement ring, this time fromMark Anthony.
Anthony knew he had to put in a lot of effort after the engagement ring that Affleck pulled out – and so it was. The singer gave Lopez an 8.5-carat diamond ring with an estimated value of four million dollars. The two married in June 2004, giving birth to the twins aqueduct andMax In 2008, they separated in 2011 and finally divorced three years later, in 2014.

After the divorce from Anthony, Lopez’s finger remained naked for five years, until March 2019, when after two years of dating, the baseball player Alex Rodriguez He knelt down and proposed to Lopez.
The baseball player apparently did not yet realize that size does not matter, but what they do with it, and gave Lopez a 15-carat emerald-cut diamond ring, but with an estimated value of “only” $ 1.4 million. Recall that the two did not reach the stage of institutionalization of the relationship and separated in April 2021.
As you may recall, earlier this week Lopez was caught on camera by the paparazzi wearing a particularly prominent diamond ring. Rumors surrounding engagements flooded the gossip sites and on Friday night Jay Lou confirmed this on a site designed for her inner circle.
Poor Affleck knew he had no choice but to surpass all five engagement rings Lopez had received over the years, including the pink ring he himself had given her, this time pulling out an 8.5-carat green diamond ring valued at $ 10 million, Us Weekly magazine reported.
“Jennifer’s diamond ring features a natural green diamond and is set with diamonds on the front and side,” explains Jenny Locker, president of Platinum Guild International. Corinne Taylor Davis, a gemologist at Do Amore, reinforced Locker’s remarks, adding that Affleck apparently had to pay a premium for a stone of this quality and color. “There’s nothing like it on the market. That means Ben worked on that ring for months.”
By the way, just to reassure, we note that according to data on the Celebrity Net Worth website, Affleck’s personal fortune is estimated at $ 150 million, so we do not see how buying the ring will hurt him financially and force him to find a second job in the evening.
