Jennifer Lopez took a trip down memory lane as she reminisced about her first engagement with Ben Affleck during a press tour for her new Netflix film, “Atlas.” The singer made a brief mention of Ben while appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” where she shared a starstruck moment with Barbra Streisand.
Lopez recalled how Streisand was amazed by the massive engagement ring that Ben had given her years ago. The singer shared, “She kinda was asking me to look at my engagement ring at the time that Ben had given me years ago.” Streisand’s reaction to the ring was one of shock as she exclaimed, “So that’s a big diamond!” to which Lopez proudly responded, “Yes it is!”
Despite the sweet memory shared by Lopez, rumors of a split between the couple, affectionately known as “Bennifer,” have been circulating. Reports suggest that Jennifer and Ben are currently living separately in Los Angeles, fueling speculation about the status of their relationship.
Adding to the speculation, Jennifer recently liked a social media post describing a romantic partner who lacks integrity, emotional safety, and effective communication skills. The couple’s public appearances have also raised eyebrows, with Jennifer attending events solo, including the premiere of “Atlas” and The Met Gala.
However, amidst the breakup rumors, Ben was spotted picking up Jennifer at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, hinting at a possible reconciliation. The couple, who first dated in the early 2000s and rekindled their romance in 2021, tied the knot in July 2022. They have been navigating married life while co-parenting their children from previous marriages – Jennifer’s twins, Max and Emme, with Marc Anthony, and Ben’s kids, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, with Jennifer Garner.
