Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez may have ended their two-year marriage, but that doesn’t mean the I’m Real singer is going quietly. JLo is heartbroken that she and Ben couldn’t work things out. She is feeling pretty salty about a lot of things regarding their relationship. So, she has decided to keep a $5 million memento from Ben to remind her of his broken promises.
JLO pulled the trigger on the divorce on Tuesday, August 20. However, it was not without serious consideration and many attempts to save her marriage to Ben. Sources close to Jennifer claim she dragged her feet on officially ending the marriage in hopes they could find a way to make it work. However, those close to Jen claim that the Gone Girl star showed no interest in working things out.
Ben and Jen’s marital troubles started to escalate in July. Sources told Radar Online that Lopez felt she was carrying most of the financial burden in their marriage. Now that the marriage is over, Jennifer is taking a stand. “She isn’t the one who gave up on their marriage, and she’s feeling seriously burned and is out for blood,” claimed the informant. As a reminder of the heartache and Ben Affleck’s broken promises to her, Jennifer will keep the $5 million plus emerald engagement ring he gave her.
Jennifer Lopez Adds Ben Affleck Ring To Her Collection
Jen wants to keep the ring for a few reasons. It is a sentimental token of the love that she and Ben Affleck once shared for each other. Ben also had the ring engraved with a unique promise to Jennifer Lopez. The ring that Ben gave her during their second engagement reads, ‘Not Going Anywhere.‘
Now, the singer wants to keep the ring to remind her of the promise that Ben failed to keep. However, according to InTouch, sources close to Lopez claim that this is not the first engagement ring Jennifer has yet to return following a busted relationship.
“This isn’t the first time Jen has kept the bling,” the source shares. “Back in 2003, after their first engagement went up in flames, Jennifer held on to a 6.1-carat pink diamond ring worth a cool $3.52 million. Fast-forward to 2024, and now she has no intention of parting with the latest gem!
“It was a gift,” the insider adds. “Just because the relationship didn’t work out doesn’t mean she has to give it back. Jennifer has zero guilt about keeping it, and clearly Ben doesn’t mind — he’s done this twice already! It’s not like he didn’t know what he was getting into!”
Ben Affleck’s engagement ring will be added to Jennifer Lopez’s growing collection. According to Town & Country reports, Jennifer Lopez kept all her previous engagement rings from Ojani Noa, Chris Judd, Ben Affleck x 2, Marc Anthony, and Alex Rodriguez. Jennifer Lopez may not be lucky in love, but her jewelry collection is a force to be reckoned with.
