Jennifer Lopez on Ben Affleck’s Bubble Bath Proposal: ‘I Was Quite Literally Speechless’
Days after Jennifer Lopez confirmed Ben Affleck proposed to her again, the singer shared more details about Affleck’s very intimate proposal in her On the JLo newsletter. She revealed that Affleck
proposed while she was taking a bubble bath, and it was not expected.
“Saturday night while at my favorite place on earth (in the bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed,” Lopez said, via Page Six.
“[I] just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again,” she added. “I was quite literally speechless and he said, ‘Is that a yes?’ I said ‘YES of course that’s a YES.’”
“I was smiling so big and tears were coming down my face, feeling so incredibly happy and whole. It was nothing fancy at all, but it was the most romantic thing I could’ve ever imagined,” she continued. “Just a quiet Saturday night at home, two people promising to always be there for each other. Two very lucky people. Who got a second chance at true love.”
Affleck proposed with a green diamond ring, Lopez’s “lucky” color. The two originally got engaged in November 2002. Affleck proposed with a 6.1 carat pink diamond ring from Harry Winston then.
Affleck and Lopez ultimately called their September 2003 wedding off before splitting for good in January 2004. They reconciled last spring.
