After almost two decades, Ben Affleck once again chose an engagement ring for Jennifer Lopez
The American actor has been seen in the last hours in a Tiffany’s store in Los Angeles
Ben Affleck, 49, was photographed searching for engagement rings in a Los Angeles Tiffany's store on Monday, fueling rumors that he plans to propose to Jennifer Lopez for the second time and after nearly two decades apart.
As reported by the site Page Six, which obtained the images exclusively, the American actor and director was observing and writing down various alliances but left empty-handed. He was accompanied by his mother, Chris, and his son, Samuel, 9 years old.
Affleck proposed to JLo in 2002 with a Harry Winston engagement ring, now reportedly worth an estimated UDD 12 million. But the couple decided to postpone their planned wedding to 2003, blaming "excessive media attention" in a statement. The couple officially broke up in 2004: “Jennifer Lopez has ended her engagement to Ben Affleck. In this difficult time, we ask that you respect her privacy, "a representative told People magazine at the time.
Following her split from Ben, JLo married singer Marc Anthony, 52, and had twins, Max and Emmy, now 13, while the Oscar winner married actress Jennifer Garner, 49, and had three children: Violet, Seraphina and Samuel. They separated in 2015.
The couple of the moment in Hollywood resumed the relationship 17 years later in the month in May, after their respective separations from Ana de Armas and Alex RodrÃguez.
Lopez, 52, and Affleck recently traveled to Europe to celebrate the birthday of the "Diva of the" Bronx. " On the day of the celebrations, the Latin singer surprised the millions of her followers by sharing the first official photo of her with Ben of her on her Instagram profile.
The two began seeing each other again in May, after Lopez broke up with former Yankees player Alex RodrÃguez after four years of relationship and Affleck ended her relationship with Cuban actress Ana de Armas after a courtship of nearly a year. .
A source close to the couple told People magazine that Affleck is "very happy" with Jennifer and that he "wants to do everything he can to make this work."
Since they resumed their romance, the relationship between them has consolidated at a dizzying rate. The singer and the director have become inseparable.
In a further step in her relationship, Jennifer left Los Angeles, where her ex-husband and father of her children, singer Marc Anthony, resides to move to Los Angeles to be close to Ben. Her children, twins Max and Emme, already have a new school in town.
If JLo receives a second engagement ring from Ben, this would be her sixth wedding ring in total.
The artist married her first husband, Ojani Noa, in 1997. They separated only a year later. She then she married Cris Judd in 2001, from whom she separated the following year. Later that year, Jennifer began dating Ben Affleck and got engaged that same year. However, they failed to make it to the altar, going their separate ways in 2004.
Then Marc Anthony got down on one knee and presented Jennifer with an 8.5 carat blue diamond ring. They married in 2004, and separated ten years later.
Her fifth engagement ring came from Alex Rodriguez, 46, gifting her a dazzling diamond with a value of between $ 1 million and $ 5 million. However, they never made it to the altar, parting ways in April after a two-year engagement. The couple had to postpone their wedding twice due to the coronavirus pandemic.
