Jennifer Lopez’s cover story photo shoot for ‘InStyle’ featured no engagement ring or quotes from her fiancé, Alex Rodriguez. However, J.Lo’s exes talked to the magazine!
Among the jewelry pieces that Jennifer Lopez wore for her cover style photo shoot for InStyle magazine, her engagement ring from Alex Rodriguez was not one of them. She was wearing Chanel, Cartier and Tiffany & Co., though, and many other brands, in the magazine photos released on April 5, nearly a month after a report claimed that J.Lo and A-Rod had ended their engagement. While the two proved they were still together afterwards, A-Rod did not give any quotes for J.Lo’s big feature story despite the fact that her exes, Ben Affleck and Marc Anthony, did.

She has great talent, but she has also worked very hard for her success, and I’m so happy for her that she seems, at long last, to be getting the credit she deserves,” he told InStyle. Ben, who was engaged to J.Lo between 2003-2004, even asked where his ex-fiancée was “keeping the fountain of youth.” J.Lo joked right back, saying, “Ben is funny! He still looks pretty good too.”

Before she even brings an idea up, she has visualized it a thousand times,” the Latin singer told InStyle.
Many other stars raved over J.Lo, from her former co-stars (Lili Reinhart, Matthew McConaughey) to even former First Lady Michelle Obama! A-Rod also didn’t react to J.Lo’s new magazine cover on Instagram. He did offer some “Monday Motivation” advice, though: “Focus on one very important person today. YOU!”

Despite the split speculation that had been swirling, the couple proved that they were still together by kissing amid the reunion. During this trip, a source close to J.Lo EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife, “Alex has been begging for Jennifer to continue working with him on things. He is working very hard right now to fix things which is why he flew out to the Dominican Republic.”
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have been dating since 2017; A-Rod popped the question in March of 2019.

They’re both putting in the time to work on this.”
This is not the first time J.Lo has been pictured without her ring. She also ditched the giant diamond love token to shoot an ad campaign for Designer Shoe, which she shared a ring-less photo from on March 24.
InStyle’s May issue will be available on newsstands and Amazon, including through a digital download link, on April 17, 2021.
