Ben Affleck browsed engagement rings at a Tiffany & Co store in Los Angeles on Friday, hinting at the possibility of proposing to Jennifer Lopez for a second time.
As reported by Page Six, the 49-year-old took notes in the store while joined by his mother Chris and his children Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, nine, shared with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Ben proposed to J.Lo back in 2002 with a show-stopping engagement ring from Harry Winston, now reportedly worth an estimated $12million USD (£8.8million). They split in 2003 and were pictured back together for the first time in May this year.
Is Jennifer Lopez set to receive her SIXTH engagement ring – and second from Ben? Affleck, 49, was spotted shopping for sparklers and taking notes at a Tiffany & Co store with his kids in Los Angeles on Friday
The Oscar-winning actor was seen taking notes while inside the store at the Westfield Century City mall.
MailOnline has reached out to Ben’s representatives for comment.
When Ben first asked Jennifer to marry him back in 2002, he gave her a 6.1-carat pink diamond in a radiant cut that cost a reported $1.2million USD — and it turned out to be quite the investment.
Not only is the couple back together, but the ring is also believed to be worth ten times more than it was nearly two decades ago as the price of the rare coloured diamond has soared.

It’s unclear if Jennifer still has the ring from 2002, but her former publicist Rob Shuter doesn’t think she ever gave the sparkler back to her former fiancé.
‘As far as I know, Jen has never returned the ring!’ he told Access Daily. ‘So if things move forward with these two, gosh she’s already got the most beautiful ring I’ve seen. It’s absolutely stunning.’
Jennifer showed off the spectacular ring on the red carpet at the Gigli premiere in July 2003, but the couple never made it down the aisle. A day before their wedding in September of that year, they announced they had postponed the ceremony.
Impressed: ‘It’s the most magnificent thing I’ve ever seen. I still look at it and kind of marvel at it, you know?’ J.Lo told Diane Sawyer during an interview about her engagement to Ben
By January 2004, it was confirmed they had split. She went on to marry Marc Anthony, 52, and have twins, Max and Emmy, now 13, while Ben wed Jennifer Garner, 49, and had three children – Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
Should Jennifer receive a second engagement ring from Ben, this would be her sixth sparkler in total.
The Jenny from the Block artist wed her first husband, Ojani Noa, in 1997, and was given a pear-shaped engagement ring worth an estimated six figures. They split just a year later.

She went on to marry Cris Judd in 2001, with the choreographer gifting her an emerald cut ring. They separated in 2002.
Later that year, Jennifer began dating Ben and got engaged that same year. However they failed to make it down the aisle, splitting in 2003.
Marc Anthony dropped down on bended knee, presenting Jennifer with an 8.5-carat blue diamond ring, reportedly worth $4million USD (£2.9million), tying the knot in 2004. They later split in 2014.

Her fifth engagement ring came from Alex Rodriguez, with the New York Yankees star, 46, presenting her with a dazzling emerald cut diamond, reportedly worth between $1million and $5million USD.
However they never made it down the aisle, splitting in April after a two-year engagement.
The pair had to postpone their wedding twice due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Alex previously said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: ‘We tried twice in 2020. We got bit twice by Covid-19. You know, they say in baseball, third time’s the charm, so let’s hope.
‘It’s been such a crazy year for her. So amazing. So many blessings.’
Jennifer and Ben started dating mid-year and have been spotted house hunting together, along with decadent travels abroad as they continue to bask in their love.
