Ben Affleck Proposed to Jennifer Lopez in the Bathtub
Jennifer Lopez reveals where she was when Ben Affleck asked her to marry him and the meaning behind the ring.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are engaged again, 20 years after they called off their first engagement. In her newsletter, Lopez shared the details of how Affleck popped the question for the second time.
The actor proposed to the singer with a gorgeous green diamond ring in the most surprising of ways. Lopez says that she was in the bath when Affleck asked the big question. “Saturday night while at my favorite place on earth (in the bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed. [I] just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again," she said.
“I was quite literally speechless and he said, ‘Is that a yes?’ I said ‘YES of course that’s a YES.’”
JLo also shared the meaning behind her green diamond engagement ring, a color that she says is her favorite and has always been "lucky" for her.
“He hands me a ring and he says it’s a green diamond. [Green is] my favorite color, it’s also my lucky color,” she said in a video accompanying the newsletter. “Obviously it’ll be my lucky color forever now. It means so much when somebody thinks about you and loves you and sees you. And it was just the most perfect moment.”
Before the wedding, Bennifer (as they are called by fans), started looking for their new home, including a mansion valued at $165 million. The 1988 mansion is larger than the White House and is located in the Holmby Hills neighborhood, a prime location that's close to Bel-Air and Beverly Hills.
The mansion is almost 5,600 square feet and has 14 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, and 5.5 baths. It has numerous leisure spaces, such as a swimming pool, spa, bowling alley, tennis court, movie theater, beauty salon, and library.
