What does Ben Affleck's 'doom' message on Jennifer Lopez's engagement ring mean? Here's what we know
Ben Affleck had the words 'doomed' engraved on Jennifer Lopez's $6 million engagement ring as a symbol of his affection. Surprisingly, their partnership ended after only two years of marriage.

Just two years after rekindling their romance from a decade ago and saying “I do” in 2022, the Hollywood power couple has begun divorce proceedings. The decision to call it quits was, no doubt, a challenging one from the Hollywood actor himself. Still, it's impossible to ignore how excited she was in 2022, with Ben Affleck revealing a heartfelt message carefully carved into her emerald engagement ring before popping the question again in April.
The Atlas actor told Zane Lowe on Apple Music One that he decided to inscribe the phrase “nowhere to go” this time because it meant he would often sign off on his email during their reconnection.
Ever since the news of their split broke, fans have been looking back at past events, labeling certain written messages as 'fated' or 'inauspicious'. Interestingly, it was Lopez, despite her 55 years, who chose to call it quits on their relationship, with Affleck seemingly more of an observer than an active participant in saving what was left. It seems that an element of bad luck plagued their love story from the beginning.
There is talk that pop-singer Selena Gomez plans to protect her brilliant-cut, 8.5-carat green emerald diamond ring after the breakup. The ring holds a special place in her heart and her fandom knows how deep its sentimental value runs. As a gem, she also titled the song 'This Is Me… Now' in her recent album. Despite officially ending their relationship nearly a quarter of a year ago, she and her former Gigli co-star have been in the limelight, subtly hinting at their ongoing bond with their significant wedding bands.
In 2002, the 'Accountant 2' star broke off his engagement, during which he proposed with a 6-carat pink diamond ring from the prestigious Harry Winston brand.
Lopez made a move that sent shock waves among those who had high hopes for a Bennifer 2.0 reunion. Georgia's song 'Jenny From The Block' started the separation process on their two-year wedding anniversary. A Page Six insider suggested that Lopez strategically chose this particular date to showcase her liberation. Rumors swirled at the time that Affleck was delaying filing for divorce to spare Lopez any embarrassment. A close source said they have no intention of resolving their issues.
