Actress-singer Jennifer Lopez has new details to share about her second engagement ring from Ben Affleck.
In a new interview, she opened up about the sentimental engraving on her ring - a green stone placed on a silver band, reports People magazine.
It's a simple yet meaningful three-worded message from the Oscar winner, 50, proclaiming his longtime love for Lopez: "not.going.anywhere."
During the sit-down, Lopez revealed that the words inspired one of the upcoming tracks in her highly anticipated album, 'This Is Me Now', which she announced on November 25.
According to report, she also gave a glimpse at the beginnings of their reconciliation in revealing the meaning behind the inscription. "That's how he would sign his emails when we started talking again. Like 'Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere,'" she told Lowe.
She even remembered her first engagement ring from Affleck, saying: "My first diamond ring he gave me, the pink diamond ring, it said 'sing'."
The 'Gigli' co-stars first began dating in July 2002 and announced their engagement months later, but postponed their September 2003 wedding. They ultimately called it quits in 2004.
Lopez and Affleck reconnected last year, nearly two decades after their first relationship. Their rekindled romance led to their second engagement in April this year.

Joe Jonas on losing 'Spider-Man' role to Andrew Garfield
American singer-songwriter and actor Joe Jonas recently revealed that he auditioned for the lead role in 2012's Marc Webb directorial 'The Amazing Spider-Man', which ultimately starred Andrew Garfield.
During a new episode of the Just for Variety podcast, while speaking about a role that he felt bad for not getting, Joe made this revelation.
He said, "I can name probably a couple. In the moment, you're destroyed or you're defeated. But you realize this person was brilliant. I remember years ago I was up for Spider-Man and I was so, so excited and it was the year Andrew Garfield got it."
"Obviously, he was the right one. But I remember that was a big thing at the time, going back for callbacks and the director used to be a music video director. So I was like, "I got an in here." But you know what? I love the process of auditioning and putting yourself out there and having to prove yourself," Joe added during the 'Just for Variety' podcast.
On being asked whether he ever wore the Spider-Man costume during the audition process, Joe replied, "No, but I'm sure I had one that I would try on occasionally back in the day."
Back in 2010, when Joe had been questioned if he'd be interested in playing Spider-Man, as casting was underway at the time, he had mostly dodged the question, reported People magazine.
As for Garfield, who did get the role in 'The Amazing Spider-Man', also starred in its sequel. He then reprised his role in 2021's 'Spider-Man: No Way Home', which starred Tom Holland, alongside the first 'Spider-Man' star Tobey Maguire.
Joe Jonas reveals why he prefers to keep his married life with Sophie Turner private
American singer-songwriter Joe Jonas, who likes to keep mum about his marriage to wife Sophie Turner, has revealed why he prefers keeping it private. According to People magazine, recently in an interview with Mr. Porter, Joe spoke on the subject. He said, “I want to feel like an open book. But when we started dating, I realized that I didn’t have a ton of stuff that was just for me. And in the end, it makes me a better person to have something for myself.”
Giving an example of why he is hesitant to speak on certain things in his private life, the singer cited the media storm Harry Styles found himself during the promotion of ‘Don’t Worry Darling‘ as he was dating the film’s director Olivia Wilde.
“There have been a lot of situations in my career where, like [Styles], a small thing has been blown out of proportion. It’s had this trickling effect, which is partially why I decided to take a mental health break from social media. Now I’m addicted to not knowing what’s going on,” Joe said, reported People magazine.
Joe and Sophie tied the knot in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony in May 2019 before saying “I do” again at a larger celebration in France the following month.
The celebrity power couple has a daughter named Willa, who was born in 2020, and a second daughter, whose name has yet to be revealed by the couple. She was born in July 2022.
Chris Evans named 'Sexiest Man Alive'
Chris Evans may have put down Captain America's shield but he's got a new badge of honor: he's been named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.
People's selection was announced Monday night on Stephen Colbert's late night show and on the magazine's website. Evans, who for nearly a decade played Captain America in Marvel's sprawling superhero films, takes the baton from another Avenger, Paul Rudd.
"My mom will be so happy," he told the magazine for its cover story, which hits newsstands on Friday. "She's proud of everything I do but this is something she can really brag about."
He also knows that he's likely to be teased by close friends. "Really this will just be a point of bullying," he joked in an interview. "It's ripe for harassment."
Among those likely to heckle him are co-stars and previous Sexiest Man Alive winners like Rudd, Ryan Reynolds and Chris Hemsworth. (Hemsworth, who plays Thor in the Marvel films, was the first Avenger to win People's annual honor, which was first handed out to Mel Gibson in 1985.)
Other past honorees include John Legend, Dwayne Johnson, Idris Elba, Adam Levine, Richard Gere, Channing Tatum and David Beckham.
People interviewed Evans, 41, at a Georgia farmhouse, where the actor talked about finding a better work-life balance. "The most enjoyable aspect of my career right now is feeling secure enough to take my foot off the gas," he said.
Evans' first film role came in 2000's "The New Comers" and he played superhero Johnny Storm in two "Fantastic Four" films released in 2005 and 2007. But he gained widespread fame in 2011 with the release of "Captain America: The First Avenger."
Since then, he's played the wholesome superhero in 10 Marvel films, laying down his shield after saving the universe in "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019.
Evans has become a highly bankable star, voicing the Buzz Lightyear character in Pixar's "Lightyear" film and playing a sadistic assassin trying to kill Reynolds in Nextflix's "The Gray Man" - both released this year.
The actor told People he's thinking about marriage and having a family, saying, "That's absolutely something I want."
He said he didn't expect to talk publicly much about his private life though. "Some things you want just for you, or just for my family and my friends."
The Boston native also continues his involvement with the civic engagement site A Starting Point, which he co-founded in 2020.
As Evans charts the next part of his life and career, he fully expects People's honor will be a milestone.
"It's something that as I become old and saggy I can look back on and say 'I remember then...'" Evans said. "I'm lucky to be in the discussion in any capacity."
