Among the jewelry pieces that Jennifer Lopez wore for her cover style photo shoot for InStyle magazine, her engagement ring from Alex Rodriguez was not one of them. She was wearing Chanel, Cartier and Tiffany & Co., though, and many other brands, in the magazine photos released on April 5, nearly a month after a report claimed that J.Lo and A-Rod had ended their engagement. While the two proved they were still together afterwards, A-Rod did not give any quotes for J.Lo’s big feature story despite the fact that her exes, Ben Affleck and Marc Anthony, did.
Many other stars raved over J.Lo, from her former co-stars (Lili Reinhart, Matthew McConaughey) to even former First Lady Michelle Obama! A-Rod also didn’t react to J.Lo’s new magazine cover on Instagram. He did offer some “Monday Motivation” advice, though: “Focus on one very important person today. YOU!”
A close-up look at Jennifer Lopez’s engagement ring from Alex Rodriguez, estimated to be worth $5 million, according to what Shane Co’s Vice President of Merchandise, Alicia Davis, told HollywoodLife.

Despite the split speculation that had been swirling, the couple proved that they were still together by kissing amid the reunion. During this trip, a source close to J.Lo EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife, “Alex has been begging for Jennifer to continue working with him on things. He is working very hard right now to fix things which is why he flew out to the Dominican Republic.”
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have been dating since 2017; A-Rod popped the question in March of 2019.

They’re both putting in the time to work on this.”
This is not the first time J.Lo has been pictured without her ring. She also ditched the giant diamond love token to shoot an ad campaign for Designer Shoe, which she shared a ring-less photo from on March 24.
