But now the A-list couple are calling it quits after two years of marriage, with Lopez officially filing for divorce this week.
Lopez, 55, previously revealed that Affleck, 52, had the vow — 'not. going. anywhere.' — engraved on her ring's platinum band before he got down on one knee.
It was special to Jennifer as it was 'how [Ben] would sign his emails when we started talking again,' she told Apple Music's Zane Lowe in November 2022.
'Like "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere,"' Lopez added.
But, after months of split rumors, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck without an attorney on Tuesday — which marked their second wedding anniversary.
In court docs, Lopez said she was waiving spousal support and requested the court not give Affleck any either, according to the outlet.
This marks Jennifer's fourth failed marriage and Ben's second.
Given her history and lack of a prenup, it's likely J-Lo's engagement ring will be added to her already impressive collection of five engagement rings, raising the value to over $17m.
After all, she still has the pink rock Ben gave her 20 years ago, as well as the rings from former husbands Marc Anthony, Cris Judd and Ojani Noa. And she has her engagement ring from Alex Rodriguez. whom she never wed.
But her most expensive is still the $6.5m blue diamond ring from Anthony.
Laura Taylor, engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds, told DailyMail.com, 'Jennifer Lopez has amassed a remarkable collection of engagement rings over the years, each representing a different chapter in her life.
'In the United States, engagement rings are typically considered gifts, meaning J.Lo is legally entitled to keep the ring after the divorce unless agreed otherwise in a prenup.'
As J.Lo and Ben Affleck didn't have a prenup, the engagement ring, a stunning 8.5-carat green cushion-cut diamond, will likely be added to her collection.
Without a prenup in place, Jennifer and Ben's individual earnings from the last two years — whether it be from film projects or major brand deals — are also community property.
The former couple listed the home - which has 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms - in June for $65 million, then relisted it after making recent renovations for $68 million.
The home in the tony Southern California neighborhood arrived last month of the market after further work was done on the abode, which took Lopez and Affleck two years to pick out.
The mansion spans 38,000 square-feet, and state tax law might play a part in the increased price tag, as California taxes homes sold for a minimum of $10 million with a 5.5 percent charge, TMZ reported last month.
The listing on the abode had been held by The Agency, a real estate firm owned by Bravo personality Mauricio Umansky.
Affleck moved out of the Beverly Hills home and has since plunked down $20.5 million on a mansion in the Pacific Palisades, California.
A source recently told Us Weekly that the star's decision to purchase the abode marked the 'closure of the relationship.'The purchase was reportedly felt like a 'stab to the heart.'
Both entertainers have worked steadily in the two years they have been wed: Affleck's projects in that timespan include the 2023 movies Air (which he also directed) and Hypnotic, according to iMDb.
Affleck also made appearances in 2023's The Flash and 2024's Jennifer Lopez in This Is Me... Now. He has finished shooting the The Accountant 2, in which he reprises the role of Christian Wolff from the 2016 motion picture.
Other acting projects he has in the works include a film called Witness for the Prosecution, which is in development; and a film titled RIP, which is in the pre-production phase.
Affleck has a number of professional endeavors he's involved in as a producer, including projects such as the aforementioned The Accountant 2 and Witness for the Prosecution. He is listed as an executive producer on a TV movie called Thirst, a sports drama titled Flash Before the Bang and a Hugh Jackman movie titled Apostle Paul.
Other projects he is listed as a producer on include a film called Keeper of the Lost Cities, which he is slated to direct and star; and the film Animals, which he is slated to direct, which stars his longtime friend Matt Damon.
Two projects clearly complicated by Tuesday's news are joint ventures he is involved in with Lopez: a musical adaptation of Kiss of the Spider Woman and Unstoppable, both of which she stars in.
Jennifer — who has a reported $400million net worth — has put out four films since marrying Ben, including her $20million self-funded project This Is Me... Now: A Love Story, which documents the couple's rekindled romance.
She launched her Delola cocktail line in 2023 and she was set to embark on a world tour in support of her latest album This Is Me... Now this year but it was canceled weeks before kick off so she could 'focus' on family.
