Jennifer Lopez has officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, leaving many to wonder what will become of her stunning $5.6 million green engagement ring.
Considering her history, it’s likely that this ring will join her impressive collection of five engagement rings, increasing their total value to over $17 million.
She still has the pink diamond ring Ben gave her 20 years ago, as well as rings from her former husbands Marc Anthony, Cris Judd, and Ojani Noa. Additionally, she has the engagement ring from Alex Rodriguez, whom she never married.
However, her most expensive ring remains the $6.5 million blue diamond ring from Anthony.

According to Laura Taylor, an engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds, “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,” Taylor added.
