Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are engaged – for the second time. The actress broke the news about her Newsletter OntheJLo on Friday, April 8, along with an accompanying video of her sparkler. Jennifer LopezThe engagement ring features an oversized green stone and a silver ring, and the color has a special meaning.
Green is full of meaning for the star. In one of its previous newsletters, “People” reports, Lopez explained why color is important to her: “I always say the color green is my lucky color. Maybe you remember a certain green dress,” she wrote, giving him a nod. Versace dress at the 2000 Grammys which went so viral it inspired the launch of Google Images. “I realized that there are many times in my life where amazing things have happened when I was wearing green.”
Green isn’t the only sentimental detail, though. In an interview with Apple Music One released on Monday, Nov. 28, Lopez told Zane Lowe that Affleck engraved the engagement ring with a heartfelt saying, “Not going anywhere.” The promise is particularly poignant for the couple, as they often repeated the phrase in their messages to Lopez. “That’s how he signed his e-mails when we started talking to each other again. Like, ‘Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere,’” Lopez recalled.
The multi-hyphenate first stepped out with the ring to go shopping with his daughter in Culver City, Calif., immediately sparking engagement rumors as fans noticed she wore the stone on her left finger.
Affleck first popped the question with a pink engagement ring in 2002, but the couple ultimately called off their wedding. This time it’s different. Last November, she shared that she was open to Walk down the aisle Again. “I mean, you know me. I’m a romantic, always have been. I still believe in happiness forever, of course, 100%,” she said.
Coincidentally, J Lo has been wearing a lot of white recently on the red carpets with Affleck. She put on a long-sleeved shirt lace mini wedding dress by Giambattista Valli during his “Marry Me” tour in February. For the premiere of “The Last Duel” at the Venice Film Festival last September, Lopez chose a white satin embellished dress by George Hobeika. If these outfits are any indication, her bridal fashion will be a sight to behold.
