Ben Affleck’s message for Jennifer Lopez engraved on engagement ring now has very awkward meaning
Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck this week
Our Noughties nostalgia dreams were crushed yesterday when it emerged that Jennifer Lopez had filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, two decades on from their first attempt of romance.
The duo - who first dated in the early 00s, got engaged and then called it quits - were married in 2022 after years apart and separate marriages.
Court documents show Lopez filed for divorce on 20 August in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, with the BBC stating that both will need to disclose their financial information, including current income, expenses, properties and debts.
The document, which did not list any details of a prenup, included confirmation that Jen and Ben are required to share any changes to their finances 'until there is a final agreement about all financial issues in your case'.

The date of their separation was stated as 26 April 2024, following months of breakup rumours.
Now that it's officially over, it seems J.Lo added fuel to the fire by filing for divorce on their wedding anniversary.
The couple's second wedding ceremony, a lavish affair in Georgia, took place on 20 August 2022.
People are now combing through any and all details they can find that suggested they were heading for a split.
Good Will Hunting star, Ben, proposed to J.Lo with a ring estimated to be worth $5 million.
But beyond the initial appearance of the stunning emerald cut, pale green diamond was something which is now probably quite awkward.
Engraved in the ring were the words 'not going anywhere'.
J.Lo first revealed this fact during a chat with Apple Music's Zane Lowe in 2022.
She explained that it was sentimental as that had been how he would sign off his emails following the two getting back in touch.
Another unfortunate choice that was made by the duo is matching tattoos.
Jen revealed the ink on Instagram in 2023 to mark Valentine's Day.
On J.Lo’s ribcage tattoo is an infinity symbol which features their initials embedded within the lines.
On the other hand, Ben opted for two crossed arrows with their initials on the side of his torso.
Jen posted the photos alongside the caption: "Commitment. Happy Valentine’s Day my love (Look for more deets on VDay coming #OnTheJLo soon…)
“#CommitmentIsSexy #ThisIsUsThen #ThisIsUsNow #THISISMENOW."
