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 were 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.
Now, the couple has already tied the knot, finally saying their vows in Las Vegas—which they announced on social media late on July 17, 2022. And shots of the ring have already arrived. It would seem that the couple went with a classic and simple white gold band.
Between her penchant for stunning jewels and her multiple engagements, we would be remiss not to draw 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?
