Here, a look back at all of her engagement baubles, and a peek at the new fancy green diamond from Ben Affleck.
A few years ago we mused that the Lopez-Rodriguez engagement announcement Instagram was the be-all-end-all of Instagram engagement announcements. That relationship wasn’t meant to last, but it did create yet another iconic engagement ring moment for the multi-hyphenate, who has received some staggeringly beautiful jewels in her day. But it turns out, lightning does indeed strike twice, or in the case of Lopez’s engagements, it can strike six times.
After rekindling her early-aughts relationship with Ben Affleck in 2021, Lopez was spotted out recently wearing a ring on that finger. A few days later, she took to her website to announce that she and Ben Affleck are engaged for the second time. This time around? The sparkler in question is a striking, and exceedingly rare, fancy green diamond. Of course, this is notable because the first time they got engaged, Jennifer’s fancy pink diamond caused a colorful engagement ring furor unlike anything that had been seen before.
Between her penchant for stunning jewels and her multiple engagements, we would be remiss not todraw comparisons to another marrying type: Elizabeth Taylor. The late actress was married eight times (twice to Richard Burton) and perhaps the only thing more famous than her many matrimonial tangos were her exquisite jewels. Which begs the question: is Jennifer Lopez the 21st century’s Elizabeth Taylor?

J.Lo married her backup dancer Cris Judd (who she met on the set of her “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” music video) in 2001 after she received an emerald cut ring worth six-figures. Their marriage lasted just over a year.

When J.Lo received a 6.10 carat radiant-cut pink Harry Winston diamond when she became engaged to Affleck in 2002, it set off a trend toward colored diamonds, and dramatically increased the value of pink diamonds.
