In February, Jennifer told People that her relationship with the Gone Girl actor is very different this time around.

“We’re older now, we’re smarter, we have more experience, we’re at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things,” she said.

“It’s a beautiful outcome that this has happened in this way at this time in our lives where we can really appreciate and celebrate each other and respect each other.”

Jennifer announced her engagement in April via her OnTheJLo newsletter, posting a video featuring her glittering 8.5-carat green diamond engagement ring, a colour that holds special significance for her.

“You’re perfect,” Jennifer said in the clip as she stared at her ring.

In a previous newsletter, Jennifer admitted: “I’ve realised there are many moments in my life where amazing things happened when I was wearing green.”

“I always say the colour green is my lucky colour. Maybe you can remember a certain green dress,” she added, referring to her iconic Versace silk frock she wore to the 2000 Grammys.

Jennifer and Ben, or “Bennifer” as they’ve become affectionately dubbed, met in 2001 on the set of their movie Gigli while JLo was still married to her second husband Cris Judd.

In late 2002, Ben proposed to Jennifer with a 6.1-carat pink diamond ring by Harry Winston, however they later called off their engagement and announced their split in 2004.
