Jennifer Lopez Sparks Ben Affleck Engagement Rumors With New Diamond Ring
Jennifer Lopez may have subtly dropped big news this week. TMZ reports that Lopez was photographed wearing a new diamond ring on her left ring finger while out shopping with her
daughter Emme on Monday.
The outlet noted that Lopez, when she realized a paparazzo was capturing her, appeared to flip the ring and hide the diamond in her palm. Lopez hasn’t addressed the speculation she’s engaged again to her partner Ben Affleck, but the couple is serious. In fact, they just purchased a $50 million Bel Air mansion together.
A source told Entertainment Tonightthat engagement was definitely a discussion between the two at the end of March. “Ben and Jen can’t wait to spend the rest of their lives together and know that they were destined to be together,” the source said. “An engagement is on the table and it has been an ongoing conversation.”
Lopez herself indicated to Peoplein February that she is in it for the long haul with Affleck. When asked about her hopes for the future, she said, “I just want my future to be full of love and happiness, with my children and my partner. I think everybody just wants to be happy, with somebody to go on the journey with and grow old with, and I feel good about that right now.”
Of Affleck, Lopez said, “I’m so proud of the him, I’m so proud of the man he’s become that I’ve watched from afar. Being honest with each other, being loving, that’s just the basis of everything. I feel like he’s at a place in his life where—just like how I feel about myself—it’s been a journey of learning yourself and figuring yourself out, getting to a place where you feel really good on your own and who you are so you can be in a happy, healthy relationship.”
“To see the person, the human being, the man that he is today, the father that he is today, the partner that he is—he is so everything I always knew he was and wanted to be,” she finished.
