Strange Things About Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck's Relationship

Publish date: 2024-05-09

There's no doubt Jennifer Lopez is a fan of bling (she often shows off her range of glamorous blinged out cups and sequin face masks on Instagram) but a supposed present from her then fiancé, Ben Affleck may have taken things a little too far.

In April 2003, the National Enquirer claimed that Affleck supposedly purchased a blinged out toilet seat for his "Gigli" co-star. Yes, a toilet seat. The totally extra home accessory was said to be "designed by Affleck himself" and reportedly cost him $105,000 because it contained "rubies, sapphires, pearls and a diamond" embedded in a plastic seat. Talk about a throne!

Affleck even joked about the claim a few months earlier during a February 2003 appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," where he quipped (via Yahoo!), "I was in the Gulf for Christmas and then flew back right at the end — just in time to pick up a toilet seat for my girlfriend." As for how J-Lo felt about it? Well, you do the math. Affleck admitted, "That didn't go over that well. You know what I mean?"

As for what Lopez had to say, she was asked by People (per In Style) in 2011 if she had a jewel encrusted toilet seat but replied, "Obviously not. That's just so crazy!" As for whether it really existed or if the star just decided to ditch it, we may never know.
