Jennifer Lopez reveals hidden message Ben Affleck had engraved on her engagement ring

Jennifer Lopez has revealed the hidden message which her husband Ben Affleck had engraved on her sparkling green engagement ring.

The loved-up couple announced their engagement back in April, almost 20 years after ending their first relationship. They then tied the knot in Las Vegas in July before hosting a lavish wedding celebration with family and friends.

53-year-old J-Lo has now opened up about the sweet gesture her husband did, engraving her ring with the words "Not. Going. Anywhere."

She said they had started using the phrase after they rekindled their romance.

"That's how he would sign his emails when we started talking again. Like, 'Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere'," Jennifer shared during an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.

The phrase has also been used by the singer as the title of a song on her upcoming album This Is Me... Now, which will be released in 2023.

The album is a nod to her previous record This Is Me... Then, with both focusing on her relationship with 50-year-old Ben.

Jennifer candidly spoke about the pair's split back in 2004 and admitted she felt as though she was "going to die" when they called off their planned nuptials.

"Once we called off that wedding, it was the biggest heartbreak of my life.

"I honestly felt like I was going to die," the Jenny from the Block hitmaker said.

She added: "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. It has the most ‘would never happen in Hollywood’ ending."

The interview comes after the revelation that Jennifer will pay tribute to Ben on her new album.

She made the shock album announcement earlier this week as she came back to social media, sharing the track list with followers.

The listing included a song titled 'Dear Ben pt. II', making reference to the 'Dear Ben' ballad from JLO's 2002 album when she first began dating the Academy Award-winning film star.
