It's official! JENNIFER LOPEZ and BEN AFFLECK are engaged to be married.

Though reps for the Hollywood couple would not confirm the news, a source close to the pair has confirmed to ET that they do plan to marry. While wearing the pink diamond ring that Ben gave her, J.Lo dropped plenty of hints on Tuesday's "TRL" on MTV, saying, "I think everybody will know soon enough."

 

The couple reportedly struck up a solid friendship back in December while working together in L.A. on the film 'Gigli.' Jen and Ben then went public as a pair on July 22, according to Us magazine, when the power couple took a center table at New York's trendy, see-and-be-seen sushi restaurant Nobu.

 

On Tuesday's "Total Request Live" with CARSON DALY, a glowing Jennifer came out to present her brand-new video, "Jenny From the Block," which features her and Ben engaging in some steamy on-screen action: kissing in a pool, laying out on a yacht, and cozying up on a couch. She also revealed that there's a song on her upcoming CD called "Dear Ben."

 

The exciting news also comes on the heels of rumors that Jennifer would discuss her engagement to ABC's DIANE SAWYER on an upcoming "Primetime" special. When contacted by ET, Jennifer's representatives had no comment. "Primetime Thursday" would only confirm an interview with the star to air next Wednesday.

Eh, I really don't care about public relationships, but I hope this lasts.

 

I sure as HELL don't want to read about their divorice for 10 months afterward...

[Guest Karnage]

Ah it will probably not happen or end up in divorce. Then Affleck will check in for his drinking problem.

[Guest RedJed]

No offense, but woopdiefuckingdoo. Does anyone really give a fuck?

Chances are that you'll have to. Most Hollywood marriages don't last. I mean, I hope it lasts, but really, it seems like this was hastened because J-Lo got knocked up.

Well this IS Hollywood, so having a baby out of wedlock isn't that big a deal. Hell, in today's average society its not that big a deal. It's not like she got pregnant and Ben said to himself, "Golly, gee, gosh darn it, I better do the right thing and marry her!" Like it was nineteen fifty-three or something.

 

Besides, it seems like the Hollywood relationships that DO last, usually don't involve marriage. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel, for example, have lived together for years, have children together, but never married.

[Guest Kingpk]

This is what, engagement #4 for her now?

 

She's the 21st century Elizabeth Taylor!

I was actually gonna bring that up as a case against marrying. Another would be Dennis Quiad and Meg Ryan, whose long-term relationship deteriorated once they got married.

 

And yeah, I know "doing the right thing" is pretty old school, but people still do it. Matter of honour, I suppose.

[Guest NoCalMike]

I think JLO is so overrated. Yah she is pretty, but besides that almost everything I have heard/seen leads me to believe she is of the "diva" attitude era, which is downright awful.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward have been married for nearly 50 years, so people can remain married for a long time in Hollywood.

 

He's a coked up drunken asshole and she's a super bitch. They deserve each other.

[Guest C.H.U.D.]

Sorry to sound rude, but who fucking cares? Is this really worth starting a thread?

Jeez.......Since i've heard so damn much about it, I figured what the Hell, might as well post it.

 

At least this Thread is actually getting some conversation, which doesn't make it worthless. Why don't you check some of the other Threads on the Board, and see which is worthless.

[Guest Flyboy]

J. Ho will end up having an affair with P. Shit.

 

Wait and see.

[Guest Smark Hammill]

They deserve each other.

These four words sum it all up for me. Not a fan of Affleck at all, but there may not be a celebrity I hate worse than J-Lo.

 

If Affleck is stupid enough to get involved with her, he deserves all the crap that will be coming to him.
