American actor Ben Affleck was spotted viewing engagement rings at Tiffany's in Century City, Los Angeles, accompanied by his mother and his son, with photos of him browsing the jewelry immediately sparking theories that it could be Jennifer Lopez for whom he is looking for a ring.
The couple got back together earlier in the summer, having spent over ten years apart.
In 2003, Affleck popped the question, but a planned wedding saw turmoil, with the two initially postponing and then calling it off. At the time, Affleck and Lopez said the wedding was put off due to excessive media attention, officially announcing the end of their relationship in 2004.
The photos showing Affleck browsing the engagement rings swiftly divided the users, with some rooting for the couple to take the next step in their relations and others suggesting that the actor was just "messing" with the paparazzi.
Some pointed at how "giving J Lo an engagement or wedding ring seems to never turn out well", referring to Affleck and Lopez reuniting in wake of the latter's two-year engagement with Alex Rodriguez coming to an end.
Affleck and Lopez dated for two years, from 2002 to 2004, with rumors of a reunion emerging in spring 2021. Throughout the summer, the two discovered themselves in the spotlight, with photos of the inseparable couple circulating on the Internet and inspiring memes.
