Jennifer Lopez Confirms Engagement To Ben Affleck Following Public Speculation
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are ready to tie the knot.
On Saturday, a representative for the “Marry Me” actress confirmed that she and the “Accountant” actor have gotten engaged for a second time. CNN reported that the songstress, also, shared a video of herself sporting the green engagement ring in her newsletter, “On the JLo.”
Lopez’s sister, Lynda, reportedly shared snaps from the video, as well, on her Instagram Stories. She captioned it with, “So this happened,” and tagged the celebrity couple.
People released a similar report on the matter, sharing some details about the engagement. As noted, the “On The Floor” singer first revealed the relationship milestone to her inner circle in a Friday evening email.
With regard to the green engagement band, the publication recalled that it is Jennifer Lopez’s favorite color. She once raved about it in a previous newsletter on the same platform, “On the JLo.”
This reportedly comes after the realization that she was wearing green when “many moments in her life where amazing things happened.”
The engagement confirmation surfaced days after Jennifer Lopez sparked the speculations. Witnesses spotted her during an outing with her daughter wearing a massive sparkler on her left ring finger.
Page Six said that the “Hustlers” star was shopping for furniture in Culver City, Los Angeles, at the time. She wore a flowing print dress and large sunglasses, seemingly completing the look with her large diamond ring.
Following the outing, rumors and speculations emerged among the public as to whether Ben Affleck had already popped the question amid their rekindled romance. But, reps for the celebrity pair did not make an official response regarding the matter.
A source, later on, claimed that the two “Jersey Girl” lead stars wanted to keep the latest relationship milestone “quiet for a few days.” This seemingly explained why they took time before going public with the news, as per a separate report from People.
The same insider noted that Jennifer Lopez “loves her ring,” adding that she “can’t stop looking at it.” Despite all the good news, though, she and Ben Affleck are said to be “not talking about a wedding” just yet.
In the end, the DCEU star reportedly “makes her incredibly happy.” The informant, then, added that “it’s very cute to see how excited [JLo] is.”
Lopez and Affleck were engaged for nearly two years in 2002. They were set for a late 2003 wedding, but they decided to postpone it “due to excessive media attention.”
In 2004, the celebrity couple called off their engagement and parted ways. They rekindled their romance earlier in 2021.
