After her recent announcement that she’s newly engaged to Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez is one of the female celebrities who has been engaged more than once.
With 5 engagements and 3 marriages to date, the American singer, actress and businesswoman is engaged to the Batman actor for the second time.
The pair rekindled their relationship after Jen’s split from A-Rod last year, following cheating allegations.
J.Lo and Affleck were previously engaged in 2002 when he popped the question with a 6.1 carat pink Harry Winston diamond.
This time Affleck chose an 8.5 carat, natural green diamond ring which is estimated to cost $10 million.
While the star is said to be happy to have a second chance at true love with the 49-year old father of 3, many critics don’t believe they’ll make it down the aisle.
J.Lo has a reputation of calling it quits with her partners the minute things don’t go her way. The mom of twins Emme and Max with her ex-husband Marc Anthony was last engaged to A-Rod for 2-years, without setting a wedding date.
They began dating in 2017 and he asked the “Love Don’t Cost A Thing” singer to be his wife in 2019.
Will J.Lo and Ben Affleck make it down the aisle this time? Your guess is as good as ours. A date has not be set yet but J.Lo says she wants to protect their rekindled romance for as long as possible.
The two called it quits back in 2004, and Affleck was linked to Jennifer Garner whom he went onto marry in 2005.
Apart from J.Lo, other celebs who were engaged more than once include:
- Billy Bob Thornton – 7 times
- Drew Barrymore – 5 engagements
- J.Lo’s ex Marc Anthony – 5 times
- Johnny Depp – popped the question 5 times
