Jennifer's big win comes almost a month after the singer announced her second engagement with Affleck. Taking to the exclusive fans newsletter On the JLO, the On the Floor crooner made her engagement public. "So I have a really exciting and special story to share," Lopez says while giving fans a glimpse of her huge green diamond ring.  

Lopez and Affleck's romance goes back to the early 2000s when the duo met on the sets of their film Gigli and fell in love shortly. The two worked on a couple more projects as one of the most high-profile couples at the time. The twosome announced their engagement in November 2002 but called it off in January 2004. The estranged pair later cited "extensive media attention" as one of the reasons for their split.

Hope sparked once again for Bennifer when Lopez and Ben were pictured sneaking around early last year. The pair confirmed their rekindled relationship in July 2021, and the lovebirds haven't stopped since.
