Jennifer Lopez reminisced about her first engagement with Ben Affleck during a recent appearance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ while on a press tour for her new Netflix film, ‘Atlas.’ The singer shared a heartwarming moment where Barbra Streisand admired the massive engagement ring Ben had given her years ago.
During the interview, Lopez recalled how Streisand was in awe of the ring, exclaiming, “So that’s a big diamond!” The singer jokingly replied, “Yes it is!” This sweet interaction between Lopez and Streisand shed light on the sentimental value of the ring and the memories attached to it.
Despite the nostalgic moment, rumors of a split between Lopez and Affleck continue to swirl. Reports suggest that the couple is living separately in Los Angeles, with Lopez attending events solo, including the premiere of ‘Atlas’ and The Met Gala, which she co-chaired.
Adding fuel to the breakup speculation, Lopez recently liked a social media post describing a partner who lacks integrity, emotional safety, and effective communication skills. The post hinted at a relationship that may be lacking in certain aspects.
However, amidst the split rumors, Affleck was spotted picking up Lopez at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, indicating that the two are still in each other’s lives. The couple, known as “Bennifer,” has a long history dating back to the early 2000s, with a rekindled romance in 2021 and a secret wedding in July 2022.
As they navigate the ups and downs of their relationship, Lopez and Affleck continue to prioritize their blended family, with Lopez sharing twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Affleck co-parenting his children Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Despite the challenges they may face, the couple remains committed to their family and their love for each other.
