The actor made a promise to his beloved before the wedding. Ben Affleck broke his word on his engagement ring for Jennifer Lopez.
The 55-year-old actress and singer filed for divorce from the 52-year-old director. Hollywood stars tried to find happiness with each other twice. They dated in the early 2000s, but unexpectedly broke up a few days before the wedding.
In 2021, the artists resumed their romance, while Jennifer said that Ben had always been the love of her life. In honor of their engagement in April 2022, Affleck presented Lopez with a $5.6 million diamond ring with the phrase, “I’m not going anywhere,” engraved on the platinum band. Nowhere.”
“It was a special moment for me because Ben signed his emails that way when we started talking again. “Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere,” the My Pirate Wedding star later said.
On July 16, the lovers had a secret wedding in Las Vegas, only their children were present at the celebration, and on August 20 they held a magnificent wedding at the estate of the winner of two Oscar awards in Georgia. It is noteworthy that Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on August 20, their second wedding anniversary, as if she was taking revenge on him for breaking his oath.
The spouses will have to divide their property because they did not enter into a marriage contract. It is already known that Jennifer will keep the luxurious jewel, adding to the impressive collection of engagement jewelry that she has.
This is JLo’s fourth divorce; she has been engaged several times. Five rings from her collection, according to conservative estimates, cost $17 million.
She still has the pink diamond ring Ben gave her 20 years ago, and jewelry from ex-husbands Ojani Noah, Chris Judd and Marc Anthony.
Jennifer also still has a luxurious diamond in a platinum setting, which Alex Rodriguez gave her. Lopez never married the baseball player, whom she broke up with shortly before she rekindled her romance with Affleck.
The most expensive for her is still a ring with a blue diamond worth $6.5 million from actor and singer Marc Anthony, in whose marriage the owner of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame gave birth to her children – 16-year-old twins Emmy and Max, reports Daily Mail.
“Jennifer Lopez has amassed a remarkable collection of rings over the years, each representing a different chapter in her life. In the US, engagement rings are generally considered gifts, meaning J.Lo is legally entitled to keep the ring after a divorce unless otherwise specified in the prenuptial agreement.
Since J.Lo and Ben Affleck did not have a prenuptial agreement, a stunning 8.5-carat round-cut green diamond engagement ring will likely be added to her collection,” said Laura Taylor, engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds.
