She may be from the South Bronx, but that didn’t stop Lopez from becoming a Jersey Girl. In November 2002, Lopez and Affleck collaborated on the big screen in the movie of the same name, though her character doesn’t spend much time on screen.

That same month, Affleck proposed to Lopez with a 6.1-carat pink solitaire diamond from Harry Winston.

Lopez told Sawyer of their pairing, “We’ve talked about this so many times, and we talked about how people kind of see him with … one type of person and me with another type of person, and the two of us together is like, ‘How did that happen?’ And how we’re probably more alike and from the same kind of background … same kind of upbringing and same kind of family and same kind of house.”
