Jennifer Lopez has shared that Ben Affleck included a deeply meaningful message on her green diamond engagement ring before proposing for the second time in April 2022. The inscription read “not.going.anywhere,” a phrase Affleck used in his emails when they reconnected.

Despite the romantic gesture, the couple’s relationship has recently come to an end. Lopez has filed for divorce from Affleck on the anniversary of their second wedding, which took place on August 16, 2023. This date holds particular significance, as it underscores the end of their attempt at rekindled romance.

Sources reveal that Lopez chose this anniversary to file for divorce as a statement of her own strength and independence. Her recent public appearance in a striking black dress was also a symbol of her moving forward and reclaiming her dignity.

The couple had been living apart for several months, with their $60 million home on the market and each living on opposite coasts. Despite these signs, it became clear that their renewed relationship was struggling.

Lopez listed their separation date as April 26, 2024, further solidifying the end of their relationship. Lopez felt deeply humiliated and frustrated by the failed reconciliation, particularly since she had publicly declared Affleck as the love of her life in a new film.

Affleck, on the other hand, reportedly showed little interest in resolving their issues and did not make any efforts to salvage the marriage.

As the divorce proceedings unfold, it is evident that Lopez is focused on moving forward and prioritizing her own well-being.
