Unlike Ben Affleck, the rare, green-diamond engagement ring he presented to Lopez in 2022 reportedly isn’t going anywhere. Lopez is expected to keep the $5.6 million ring after filing for divorce from Affleck on Tuesday, after two years of marriage.
As the pop mega-star revealed to fans, the inside of the band was engraved with a message that promised that, this time, their love would last forever — unlike their first engagement, which ended in 2004. “Not. Going.
Anywhere,” the engraving read. Alas, Lopez’s hope of true, lasting love with Affleck wasn’t meant to be. But even though the Oscar winner is departing from her life, she’s keeping the pricey memento of their splashy, mid-life romantic adventure, according to In Touch Weekly.
And, as the actor/singer/entrepreneur/influencer holds onto the green diamond, it will go into an impressive engagement-ring collection that is worth an estimated $17 million, according to Blast . Over Lopez’s career as a serial fiancée, she has been presented with six engagement rings over the course of six engagements and four marriages. Two of those engagements were with Affleck, while two others involved ex-husband Marc Anthony and ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez.
With each new fiancé and marriage, Lopez also has enjoyed flashing her big, shiny rocks on Hollywood red carpets, during interviews or on social media. When Lopez revealed that Affleck had proposed marriage for the second time in April 2022, she wrote in her newslette.
