Just last week, the Friends star, 50, was seen vacationing in Mexico with Will Speck, the director of her 2016 comedy Office Christmas Party.

They were also pictured saying a fond farewell back in October after a dinner in Los Angeles, California.

And while it was confirmed that the ring on Sunday — an Art Deco ring with a pair shaped diamond set in platinum by Cartier — was simply on loan for the night, all eyes were on Aniston inside the event for a different reason.

DailyMail.com learned the former couple would be seated ‘feet apart’ at separate but nearby tables in the ballroom at the Beverly Hilton H๏τel where the awards show was held.

But on Sunday, Jennifer commanded attention of her own in her sublime gown, which featured a delicately ruffled chest panel and a tasteful thin black belt cinching her waist.

She wore her long hair down and parted at the middle, and accessorized with a double-layered diamond necklace along with THAT ring on her left hand.

Her manicure was a delicate shade of pink.

As for Jen’s nomination on Sunday, it was for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama for her lead role on the Apple TV series The Morning Show.

And while she didn’t win the trophy, having lost to Olivia Colman for her role on The Crown, Jennifer already has a Globe for her star-making turn as Rachel Green, which she received in 2003.Sublime: Jen's gown featured a delicately ruffled chest panel and a tasteful thin black beltBling: Aniston accessorized with a double-layered diamond necklace and some icy bling on her left hand

Later in Sunday’s broadcast, Jen’s ex-husband Brad did win the Globe he was nominated for — Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for his role of stuntman Cliff Booth in Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood.

And Aniston watched on somewhat adoringly as Brad gave his acceptance speech.
