The only way to say it is to just say it...from Page Six:

SECOND time's the charm for Ben Affleck. The star proposed to his girlfriend of over a year, Jennifer Garner, after her 33rd birthday party Saturday at her Brentwood home, according to Star magazine. Affleck bought Garner a $500,000, 4.5-carat Harry Winston engagement ring — as compared to the 6.1-carat pink diamond ring from Winston which Affleck got for his former fiancée Jennifer Lopez. Affleck's rep had no comment.

Garner's obviously come to grips with the fact that she's 33, and even though she appears to be at the height of her Hollywood powers, she's likely peaked, and is now willing to take the career hit that Affleck-betrothal will surely bring. We want to take a moment to admire the carat-downgrading power move that Affleck's pulled off with the second engagement ring. We bet he boldly went the "You don't want the 6 carats, baby, that's tacky J-Lo shit" route, even though both halves of Bennifer Deuce know this isn't his exactly his Armageddon heyday.
