Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez, 52, said she is “so lucky and proud” to have a second chance with her boyfriend, actor Ben Affleck, 49. She spoke about reuniting with her ex-fiancé in a cover story for People magazine this week.
Lopez said the living room in her house, where she was interviewed, now serves as Affleck’s office when he visits. “I feel so lucky and happy and proud to be with him. It’s such a beautiful love story that we got a second chance,” said the singer.
Lopez admitted that going through the media circus that was their first relationship — and subsequent breakup — made them much more prepared to deal with life in the public eye this time around. She said the two are so happy they don’t want any of this to happen again and will do everything they can to protect their relationship, which they hold sacred.
“We’re older now, we’re smarter, we have more experience. We’re in different places in our lives, we have kids now and we have to be very aware of these things. We’re so protective because it’s such a beautiful time for all of us,” Lopez said. .
The couple took to dating publicly on Jennifer Lopez’s 52nd birthday on July 24, 2021. At the time, she shared a photo of them kissing Affleck on Instagram.
Speculation about a new romance between the artists began in May, days after Lopez announced she was breaking off her engagement to former baseball player Alex Rodriguez, 45, with whom she remained for four years. Affleck, on the other hand, ended his relationship with actress Ana de Armas, 33, in January, just under a year after taking up the relationship.
Affleck and Lopez first dated between 2002 and 2004, when they ended their engagement in January of that year. In June of the same year, the singer married singer Marc Anthony, 52, and together they had two children, twins Emme and Maximilian, 13. They divorced ten years later.
Affleck was married for 13 years to actress Jennifer Garner, 49, with whom he had three children: Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9.
