Jennifer Lopez has been engaged many times (five to be exact) and with each new relationship we seem to get more excited every time. At the weekend J Lo and Ben Affleck announced their engagement on the singer’s namesake platform where she debuted a massive new engagement ring. Affleck seemingly took a leaf from Machine Gun Kelly and proposed with a whopping green stone but you’d be mistaken in thinking it was just a mere emerald.

According to Page SixLopez’s green engagement ring is actually an 8.5-carat natural green diamond which makes it rare and extremely valuable. If you’re also playing along at home, yes, Affleck spent way more on this one than the first ring.

“If that is indeed a green diamond, then I am stunned,” The Diamond Pro CEO Mike Fried told the publication. “A green diamond of that size is incredibly rare and would dwarf the value of their previous engagement ring. I would value the ring well over $5 million and could be worth more than $10 million.”

In the pop star’s announcement piece, she revealed that green is in fact, her lucky colour. “Maybe you can remember a certain green dress,” she wrote. “I’ve realised there are many moments in my life where amazing things happened when I was wearing green.”

While the couple were first linked between 2002 and 2004, they famously reunited in early 2021 for the long haul. Rumours of a renewed romance occurred just weeks after Lopez split from soon-to-be-husband, Alex Rodriguez. The pair are not “rushing” the engagement and don’t intend to plan the wedding just yet.

The happy engagement news follows reports that the couple purchased a $50 million USD mansion in Bel-Air (which features a huge 17 bathrooms by the way) where they will blend their families.
