As the divorce settlement of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony nears, it seems Lopez is well and truly making a fresh start.
Already dating a new, younger man, back-up dancer Casper Smart, the singer is now quietly selling off all the jewellery that her estranged husband gave her throughout their relationship — and there’s a lot!
The sale also includes the 42-year-old’s $4 million engagement ring, the The Chicago Sun Times reported.
The engagement ring is one of the priciest pieces in her collection as it has a rare blue 8.5 carat diamond within it.
The singer is also giving away clothes that Anthony brought her during their romance and marriage of seven years.
An unnamed friend of Lopez told that paper that she has always done this when moving on, not only from an ex, but when detaching herself from former employees and unhealthy friendships.
“‘It was true when she split with Ben [Affleck], Diddy [Sean Combs] and obviously Ojani Noa,” the source said.
“When Jennifer moves on, she totally moves on.”
The unnamed source went on to say that they wouldn’t be surprised if she did the same thing to Smart.
“[Casper Smart] will likely discover he will ‘disappear’ when she tires of him too,” the source said.
Although she is cleaning things out, Lopez is said to be keeping items that were given to her and Anthony’s three-year-old twins Max and Emme.
The jewellery sale comes after reports that Anthony has banned his ex-wife’s new boyfriend from driving the children around because of his bad driving record.
