Fans got to see J.Lo’s wedding band on her Instagram following the superstar couple’s low-key nuptials. The “Jenny from the Block” hitmaker flashed her silver wedding ring while lounging in bed with a big smile on her face in the July 16 photo. J.Lo had previously been wearing the stunning green 8.5-carat engagement ring Ben gave her when he popped the question back in April 2022. That ring has been estimated to be worth over $5 million, according to Ilan Portugali of Beverly Hills Diamonds, who sourced the gem.

J.Lo revealed that she married Ben in a post on her website, where she gushed that the wedding was “exactly what we wanted.” The pair said “I do” at a Las Vegas wedding chapel. Earlier that day, the couple registered for a marriage license in Clark County, NV. According to the license filing obtained by Hollywoodlife, J.Lo is taking Ben’s last name, as she is listed as “Jennifer Affleck.”

The iconic love story of “Bennifer”started while they were both working on the movie Gigli in 2002. Ben popped the question in November 2002 with a pink ring, worth a reported $2.5 million. As the anticipation for their wedding grew, the couple surprisingly called it off. “Due to the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding, we have decided to postpone the date,” the pair told People in a joint statement. By January 2004, J.Lo and Ben were officially exes.

Nearly two decades later, J.Lo and Ben got back together following her split from Alex Rodriguez. The pair went Instagram official in July 2021, when Jennifer shared a snap of them packing on the PDA during her 52nd birthday celebrations. After a year of dating, Ben proposed to J.Lo for a second time, and she happily accepted. A true love story indeed!
