Jennifer Lopez shares the sweet message Ben Affleck engraved on her ring
Updated | By Poelano Malema
JLo has spoken about what transpired after breaking up with Ben Affleck years ago and the sweet message Ben wrote on her ring.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's rollercoaster romance over the years has been the talk of the Hollywood
streets.
The couple rekindled their romance in 2021 and got married in July this year.
Speaking to Apple Music One's Zane Lowe, JLO revealed that breaking up with Ben in 2004 led to her feeling hopeless.
"It was the biggest heartbreak of my life and I honestly thought I was gonna die," Lopez said during the interview.
She said for the coming years, her love life was a mess.
"It sent me on a spiral for the next 18 years where I just couldn't get it right. But now, 20 years later, it does have a happy ending,” she said.
“You can get a second chance if you do the work, and you don't give up,” she added.

When the couple reconciled, Ben gave Jennifer a new
engagement ring, this time with a very special message engraved on it.
“My first diamond ring he gave me, he gave me the pink
diamond ring, it said 'sing'. This one he put 'Not. Going. Anywhere," said JLo.
She says this is how Ben used to sign off his emails.
“That's how he would sign his emails when we started talking again, 'Like don't worry. I am not going anywhere',” said the singer.
She added that this message inspired one of her songs on her upcoming album, ‘This is Me Now’, which is scheduled for release in 2023.
This is not the first time JLo has been working on an album that details her relationship with Ben.
"Twenty years ago I fell in love with the love of my life and I was working on an album and it was called 'this is me then'," she said.
"It was all about capturing that moment in time. I said now the most amazing, incredible, unbelievable thing has happened and the reason we are here is because I want to capture this moment in time because it is even better than the first time," she added.
