After Jennifer Lopez confirmed her engagement to Ben Affleck on April 8, 2022 — 20 years after he proposed for the first time — fans were eager to get a look at her new bling.
The stunning sparkler, complete with an 8.5-carat green diamond at the center and two smaller white diamonds on the sides, is an extremely rare find.

Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, told Page Six Style that the ring is likely worth “well over $5 million and could be worth more than $10 million.”
This engagement marks proposal No. 6 for the pop star and actress, 52, and if you’ve ever wondered about the rocks that she’s got, here’s a peek at all of J.Lo’s engagement rings.
1. Ojani Noa

In 1997, J.Lo married Ojani Noa, a restaurateur who used to be a waiter at a restaurant she visited often when she was first starting out as an actress.

He proposed with a $100,000 pear-shaped diamond ring but sadly, the couple split less than a year later. In 2010, J.Lo was dragged into a court case when Noa threatened to release a sex tape from their days together.

The “Jenny From the Block” singer married her backup dancer Cris Judd in 2001, accepting an emerald-cut sparkler worth an estimated six figures.

The pair, who met on the set of her video “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” split just nine months after they walked down the aisle. Judd, who said their wedding “was a circus,” shared, “I can’t give you the answer as to why her relationships don’t work.”
3. Ben Affleck

Who can forget the golden days of Bennifer? J.Lo and Affleck got engaged in 2002 after meeting on the set of “Gigli,” with the actor giving her a jaw-dropping 6.10-carat radiant-cut pink Harry Winston diamond estimated at $2.5 million.
The ring kicked off a colored-stone craze, but unfortunately, Affleck called off their engagement just four days before their wedding and the couple split (for the time being) in 2004.

“Ben and I split up at the moment when I thought we were committing to each other forever, it was my first real heartbreak, it felt like my heart had been torn out of my chest,” Lopez wrote in her book “True Love.”
4. Marc Anthony
Not long after breaking things off with Affleck, J.Lo married singer Marc Anthony sporting another Harry Winston ring — this time an 8.5-carat blue diamond valued at about $4 million.

The pair, who are parents to twins Max and Emme, walked down the aisle in 2004 and parted ways in 2011. Of their quick courtship after her split with Affleck, the “Maid in Manhattan” actress said in her book, “Thinking back, maybe deep down I knew that this was a Band-Aid on the cut, that my wound hadn’t been stitched or healed.”
5. Alex Rodriguez

Alex Rodriguez sealed the deal in March 2019 when the ex-Yankees star — who had dated J.Lo since 2017 — posted a romantic sunset photo with a whopping 16-carat emerald-cut diamond on the “Marry Me” star’s hand.

The ring, which was estimated to be worth $1.8 million, didn’t prove to be her good luck charm, however; after postponing their wedding twice, J-Rod called off their engagement in 2021. “We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so,” the pair said, confirming the split.
6. Ben Affleck (again)
J.Lo’s new ring could be her most expensive, with an estimated value of up to $10 million.
On April 8, 2022, J.Lo confirmed in a video on her website that she was engaged to Ben Affleck for the second time around. “You’re perfect,” her voice whispered in the background as the “Waiting for Tonight” singer showed off her stunning green diamond ring.
According to the Leibish Diamond Education Center, “natural fancy green diamonds are completely natural and are caused by exposure to atomic radiation” and are second to red diamonds in terms of rarity.

“I always say the color green is my lucky color,” Lopez said in the past, so let’s hope this ring proves to be the one.
