Earlier on Friday, Lopez teased that something big was coming in a video posted to Facebook. “I have an inspiring and special story to share,” she said between chuckles, suggesting people sign up for her newsletter.  J-Lo shared a video of her green diamond ring and confirmed the engagement rumours via her newsletter, The JLo, on the 8^th of April, where she shared the news with her followers with tears in her eyes.

Emeralds have been a top trend in future bride-to-be, as more and more celebrities have been sporting the green rock on their engagement fingers, one of them being also recently engaged Megan Fox, who is about to marry her fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly. Emeralds are considered one of rare diamonds, making the hot rock even more unique and special when given to your partner.

Ben made the perfect choice when choosing which diamond he will propose to his love with, as the “on the floor” singer has never been shy in choosing luxurious jewellery and has been open about her love for green, as she stated herself, “I always say the colour green is my lucky colour,” she shared in another On The JLo post.  She continued adding, “Maybe you can remember a certain green dress. I’ve realized there are many moments in my life where amazing things happened when I was wearing green. It may be a coincidence, but maybe not. But as I looked better, I realized there are no coincidences.”

The last time Affleck proposed to his current fiancé, he chose a pink six-carat Harry Winston diamond ring in the Noughties. Not long before their big day, the couple called off their engagement, releasing a joint statement in 2004 saying, “Due to the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding, we have decided to postpone the date,” The statement also separated ‘decoy brides’ at three different locations, we realized that something was awry.”

In 2021 the former couple decided to reconnect, and J-Lo immediately called off her engagement to Yankees star Alex Rodriguez. The couple confirmed their reunion when they appeared on the red carpet together at the Venice Film Festival before touring the Med together – recreating scenes from the “Jenny from the Block” video.

J-lo shared her thoughts about her reunion with Ben on The Ellen Show, stating, “I don’t think anybody was more surprised than us,” and “You never could imagine that something like that could happen. It’s a beautiful thing.”

Jen also explained to her subscribers how Ben popped the question, and it is not what you would expect! The title of this particular entry was “How It Went Down.” Jennifer, also known as Jenny from the block, said she was “taken totally off guard” at that moment. The singer began describing the scene, and she is having a bubble bath, relaxing after a long day. Then, out of nowhere, Ben walked in, got on his knee, and after 20 years, he repeated those special words when you’re at your most relaxed, your most unassuming, your fiancé from, “Marry me, marry me, say yes.” 

She wrote in her newsletter, “Saturday night, while at my favourite place on earth (in the bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed. I was taken totally off guard and just looked into his eyes, smiling and crying at the same time, trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years, this was happening all over again. I was quite literally speechless.” Ben asked his love to confirm her reply to his proposal, as stated by J Lo herself “And he said, ‘is that a yes?’,” she wrote. “I said YES, of course, that’s a YES.”

The newsletter continues, “I was smiling so big, and tears were coming down my face, feeling so incredibly happy and whole. It was nothing fancy at all, but it was the most romantic thing I could’ve ever imagined…just a quiet Saturday night at home, two people promising to always be there for each other. Two very lucky people. Who got a second chance at true love.”

We aren’t crying; you are.

We would love to wish Ben and Jennifer the best and congratulate the love birds on their second chance in love.

What is Monique Lhuillier’s style?

It is very feminine in style, using the best in fabrics and workmanship. Her dresses are often sleeveless and a-line and feature a complete and dramatic skirt. I would say that her dresses are modern and have a stylish feel and quality, but they still manage to capture the traditional, romantic, tender feeling. To glimpse her most recent runway shows and ad campaigns, visit her website. moniquelhuillier.com

Her collection can be found at Browns and Browns Bride in London.
