A Handy Guide to Jennifer Lopez's 6 Engagement Rings: See Every Dazzling Diamond 

Upon hearing that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are divorcing after two years of marriage, you didn't have to wonder about custody—they share children with their respective exes, not each other—and they had already listed the Beverly Hills mansion they bought together barely 12 months beforehand.

But you may be wondering about the fate of the ring. As in, the rare green diamond set in a platinum band that Affleck picked out to propose to Lopez with for the second time.

"I always say the color green is my lucky color," the bride-to-be wrote in her newsletter, On The JLo, after revealing in April 2022 she was engaged once again to the Oscar winner. Referencing the plunging Versace stunner she selected for the 2000 Grammys, she added, "Maybe you can remember a certain green dress. I've realized there are many moments in my life when amazing things happened when I was wearing green."

Rounding out the full-circle moment, Affleck made his token of affection all the more personal by having "Not. Going. Anywhere." engraved inside the band.

Which, considering they both went elsewhere the first time they made a plan to meet at the altar, made perfect sense in the moment—however bittersweet it now is in hindsight.

"That's how he would sign his emails when we started talking again," Lopez explained to Apple Music One's Zane Lowe in November 2022. "Like, 'Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.'"

But don't be fooled by the rocks that she got: Diamonds are forever, but Lopez is only human like everybody else.

And this gem-accented love story isn't getting the ending either she or Affleck intended when they tied the knot in Las Vegas and then swapped vows in a more elaborate Savannah, Ga., ceremony exactly two years to the day before she filed to end their union.

"We're just two people with kind of different approaches trying to learn to compromise," Affleck said in The Greatest Love Story Never Told, a documentary tracing Lopez's personal and professional journey that came out in February. And while she was more inclined to get loud, he said, "Things that are private, I had always felt, are sacred and special because in part they're private. So, this was something of an adjustment for me."

In the end, though, it just didn't fit.

While Affleck was previously married to Jennifer Garner for 10 years, this was Lopez's fourth marriage—and her sixth time accepting a ring, including the 6.1-carat pink diamond she got from Affleck in 2002.

That one said "sing" inside, she told Lowe.

And while Lopez has worn millions of dollars' worth of jewelry over the years, including a variety of rings boasting sparkly stones of all shapes and sizes, certain baubles can't help but stand out.

See the six engagement rings that once upon a time took pride of place on Lopez's hand:

Jennifer Lopez married waiter-turned-restaurateur Ojani Noa in 1997 and the two divorced less than a year later.

Noa proposed with what appears to be a pear-shaped diamond ring, worth an estimated six figures.

The multi-hyphenate and her former back-up dancer Cris Judd wed in 2001. The two split less than a year later and finalized a divorce in January 2003, while she was engaged to Ben Affleck.

Judd popped the question with this emerald-cut diamond ring, estimated to be worth six figures.

Kicking off a romance in 2002, Lopez and the actor filmed famous flop Gigli, the movie Jersey Girl and the singer's "Jenny From the Block" music video.

That November, Affleck proposed, with the two planning on having a wedding ceremony in Santa Barbara, California, on Sept. 14, 2003. Affleck called it off four days beforehand, citing "excessive media attention." In January 2004, the two publicly ended their engagement.

Affleck gave his bride-to-be a 6.1-carat pink radiant cut diamond Harry Winston ring, estimated to be worth between $1.2 and $2.5 million.

Lopez and fellow singer Marc Anthony, who share twins Max and Emme, wed in 2004 and announced their split in 2011. Anthony filed for divorce a year later and it was finalized in 2014.

Anthony proposed to Lopez with an 8.5-carat blue diamond Harry Winston engagement ring, estimated to be worth $4 million.

Having reconnected in 2017, former New York Yankees standout Alex Rodriguez swung for the fences, getting down on bended knee on the beach during their March 2019 trip to the Bahamas.

In April 2021, J.Lo and A-Rod called off their engagement.

The 15-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring Rodriguez chose is estimated to be worth between $1 million and $5 million.

 

The two rekindled their romance in spring of 2021. On April 8, 2022, she revealed in her On the JLo newsletter that they were engaged. But after a 2022 Las Vegas elopement—followed by fairytale vows in Georgia months later—she filed to end their nearly two-year union. 

For the second go-round, Affleck went for a hue that Lopez had dubbed lucky after stealing the show at the 2000 Grammys in her iconic Verace gown. The green cushion-cut diamond was set with two white diamond side stones.
