He had given me a pink diamond, which got a lot of press and was ... whatever. I loved getting it, don't get me wrong."Eliciting a round of laughs, Lowe said, "It was very much not 'whatever'."Lopez said, "I mean, I loved getting it, don't get me wrong."She added, "So, she came up to me, and like, she's heard of it.
