Despite their divorce… Jennifer Lopez keeps this gift from Ben Affleck

Despite recently finalizing the divorce proceedings, Jennifer Lopez is still holding on to one of the gifts that her ex-husband Ben Affleck gave her, specifically the engagement ring that he had given her in 2021.

According to a number of media reports, Jennifer Lopez decided to keep the large diamond ring, which is worth more than $5 million and weighs 8.5 carats. The ring features a rare green diamond surrounded by two half-moon diamonds, and is set on a platinum band. On the tape, Ben Affleck engraved a message in which he said: “I’m not going anywhere.”

A jewelry expert confirmed that the natural green diamonds that feature in the ring are extremely rare, and that their value increases significantly over time.

The expert added that the process of planning and cutting a diamond of this type may take a year or more to be of the best possible cut and color.

As for the divorce procedures, the ruling was issued about 20 weeks after Jennifer Lopez filed a request with the court last August for her divorce from Ben Affleck, as she had not hired a lawyer at that time. She also confirmed at the time that the details of their property and financial obligations were not yet known and would be determined later.

Despite the divorce, Ben Affleck recently made sure to give Jennifer Lopez a gift on the occasion of the Christmas season, and the gift was a rare book signed by the legendary actor Marlon Brando, who is Lopez’s favorite artist. He was spotted buying the book from Mystery Pier Books in Hollywood. However, despite this exchange of gifts, a source close to the duo denied the possibility of them returning to each other, stressing that these gifts come only within the framework of maintaining a friendly relationship, and in no way mean attempts to get back together.
