Ben Affleck engraves ‘not going anywhere’ on Jennifer Lopez’s engagement ring—Marriage lasts 2 years

Lopez has decided to end their marriage, filing for divorce from Affleck on the anniversary of their second wedding.

Jennifer Lopez revealed that Ben Affleck had a meaningful inscription added to her green diamond engagement ring before his second proposal in April 2022.

He engraved "not going anywhere" on the ring, a phrase he used in his emails when they reconnected. Lopez shared this detail with Zane Lowe on Apple Music One, noting it was meant to reassure her of his commitment.

However, Lopez, 55, has since decided to end their marriage, filing for divorce from Affleck, 52, on the anniversary of their second wedding. According to an exclusive Page Six source, Lopez chose this date to assert her independence.

Lopez’s recent public appearance in a chic black dress while shopping in West Hollywood was reportedly a statement of reclaiming her dignity. Despite early signs of trouble, with sources suggesting the marriage was on shaky ground since May, Lopez has listed their separation date as April 26, 2024.

Affleck and Lopez spent the summer living separately, having put their $60 million home up for sale. Sources indicate that Affleck was hesitant to file for divorce to spare Lopez from additional embarrassment and that he showed little interest in reconciling. An insider told People that Lopez is disheartened by Affleck’s lack of commitment to their marriage.
