Jennifer Lopez discussed Ben Affleck's engagement ring with Jimmy Kimmel

Jennifer Lopez's marriage to Ben Affleck is reportedly on the rocks, with the couple said to be living separately.

The pair, who tied the knot in July 2022 after a second engagement, are said to be going through a rough patch. The songstress, 54, shared a brief comment about the pair during her recent appearance Jimmy Kimmel Live! However, she avoided discussing their current situation.

Instead, she shared an insight into the engagement ring Batman actor Ben, 51, got her for during their first spell together. She explained first meeting Barbra Streisand, who couldn't help but comment on the rock's size.

Speaking to the comedian, J.Lo said Barbra exclaimed: "So that’s a big diamond," when they met two decades ago. "And I’m like, 'Yes it is;'" J.Lo added.

The ring was from the couple's first engagement, which ended a year before they were set to initially say 'I 'do'.

She also revealed how she feels "awkward" if her kids, Max and Emme, 16, watch her perform on stage. She admitted it doesn't feel right as her kids see her at home without the "sexy" side she has onstage.

Jimmy quickly quipped: "You don’t do sexy things at home?" to which the star fired back: "I do do sexy things at home sometimes but they don’t know about that."

Shortly after her appearance, J.Lo went on to attend the red carpet for her latest movie, Atlas, alone. She did, however, still don her wedding ring at the event. She posed up a storm for the cameras at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood in Los Angeles as she smiled and posed for pictures.

Her stunning gown featured a bandeau top and fishtail skirt and the star accessorised her look with a chic black clutch bag and statement diamond necklace. She also opted for matching earrings.
