Jennifer Lopez, the global sensation with chart-topping hits and dazzling screen presence, is also known for her whirlwind romances. Currently, internet is abuzz with rumors of trouble in her paradise with Ben Affleck. With a love life as sparkling as her career, Lopez has been engaged a staggering six times (but married only four times), each proposal accompanied by a breathtaking diamond. Her engagement rings have come from Ojani Noa, Chris Judd, Affleck (twice), Marc Anthony, and Alex Rodriguez. While Lopez and Affleck continue to solve their marital woes, let's delve into the world of Lopez's dazzling six engagement rings and the captivating stories behind them.
1. Jennifer Lopez and Ojani Noa
The 'On the Floor' singer was first married to Ojani Noa in 1997. At 28 years old, she wore a lace, floor-length gown for their wedding and styled her hair in a tight bun adorned with white flowers. Noa proposed with a $100,000 marquise-cut diamond ring, according to Town & Country. Unfortunately, their marriage lasted less than a year, and they divorced in 1998.
2. Jennifer Lopez and Chris Judd
Jennifer Lopez said "yes" once again, this time to former backup dancer Chris Judd, whom she met on the set of her 'Love Don't Cost a Thing' music video. The couple married on October 3, 2001, with Lopez wearing a long-sleeved Valentino gown and a veil. Judd proposed with a six-figure emerald-cut ring, estimated to be worth $100,000. Despite their appearances at several red carpet events together, the marriage lasted less than a year, and Lopez filed for divorce in 2002.
3. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have a long history, dating back to their first meeting in 2002 on the set of the movie 'Gigli'. The couple first got engaged in 2002 but never made it down the aisle. At the time they met, Lopez was still married to Chris Judd. After her divorce from Judd, Affleck and Lopez began a highly publicized romance. In November 2002, Affleck proposed to Lopez with a custom-made Harry Winston pink diamond solitaire ring, a stunning 6.10-carat radiant-cut jewel. The value of the ring surpassed that of the previous partner’s by over $1.5 million, reaching $2.5 million. Notably, the high cost was attributed to the rarity of the colored stone. Their wedding, initially planned for 2003, was postponed and ultimately called off in January 2004. However, this was not the end for Hollywood's "it" couple.
4. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony
After her first split from Affleck, Lopez married fellow singer Marc Anthony. When Anthony proposed in 2004, he presented Lopez with a Harry Winston engagement ring valued at $4 million. The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at Lopez's Beverly Hills home. The ring featured a stunning 8.5-carat blue cushion-cut diamond, as per US Magazine. Lopez and Anthony remained married until 2014. They welcomed twins Max and Emme in 2008. Although they continue to co-parent their children, they rarely discuss each other publicly.
5. Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez
After ending her marriage with Marc Anthony in 2014, Lopez got engaged to former New York Yankees player Alex Rodriguez. The couple started dating in February 2017 and got engaged in March 2019. Rodriguez proposed to Lopez in the Bahamas with a classic emerald-cut ring, which highlighted Lopez's fingers with its elongated shape. According to Town & Country, the ring was estimated to be between 10 and 15 carats and valued between $1 million and $5 million.
6. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck get engaged again
After Lopez ended her relationship with Affleck in 2004, they rekindled their romance in 2021. She made this announcement on her website. She and Affleck got engaged for the second time before tying the knot in 2022. The engagement ring was a classic 8.5-carat bauble featuring a natural green diamond, said to be her lucky color, surrounded by two small diamonds on each side. It was valued at around $5 million.
