Jennifer Lopez is making strides forward post-divorce, yet she’s holding onto a significant memento from her relationship: the exquisite green diamond engagement ring from Ben Affleck. Having concluded their divorce this week, J.Lo has decided to keep the 8.5-carat ring Affleck presented her during their second engagement. And honestly, who could blame her?
This ring is far from ordinary. It’s set with a unique natural green diamond and accented by trapezoid-shaped white diamonds, boasting an impressive value of $5 million, with experts suggesting it could be worth even more. Ben selected the green diamond specifically as it reflects Jennifer’s favorite color. The ring even features a personal touch: an engraving that states “not.going.anywhere.”, symbolizing their rekindled relationship.
While we all are familiar with how their relationship unfolded, it’s clear that the end of their romance doesn’t necessitate parting with the ring.
According to OK Magazine, J.Lo feels no remorse about keeping the ring, and rightly so. As a source noted, “It was a gift,” emphasizing that the relationship’s outcome shouldn’t obligate her to return it. Ben is reportedly fine with this decision, too; the source pointed out, “He’s done this twice already,” referencing the pink diamond he presented her during their first engagement in 2002.
J.Lo and Ben: A Respectful Relationship Beyond Romance
Even though they have parted ways, it looks like J.Lo and Ben are maintaining a friendly relationship. A source informed Page Six last month that they aim to stay involved in each other’s lives, particularly concerning their blended family. “They intend to continue being part of each other’s lives, albeit not in a romantic context,” the insider shared.
For J.Lo, the ring signifies more than mere adornment-it’s a part of her journey. From their initial engagement, their rekindled romance, and eventual parting, the green diamond encapsulates a noteworthy chapter in her life.
Although her marriage has ended, Jennifer Lopez is holding onto a significant part of it. She is looking ahead with a $5 million reminder of their past love.
