Jenifer Lopez has a new album titled 'This Is Me' that was inspired by her romance with Ben Affleck.

The singer opened up about him in a new interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1

The Latino singer talks about facing heartbreak publicly and reuniting with the love of her life.

The two famously called off their wedding over public scrutiny.

 Now, 20 years later, Jennifer Lopez is married to Ben. 

After they broke up in 2004, Jenifer worked non stop. 

“It was so painful after we broke up,” she said,

Adding

“Once we called off that wedding 20 years ago, it was the biggest heartbreak of my life, and I honestly felt like I was going to die. And it sent me on a spiral for the next 18 years where I just couldn’t get it right.”

20 years later and all is rosy for Jlo.

" It has the most would-never-happen-in-Hollywood ending,” she continued,

Adding that when she and the actor got back together, he told her,

"You never performed the songs. You never did, ‘I’m Glad,’ you never did this, you never did that.’”

After separating from Affleck, Lopez got married to singer Marc Anthony months later. While the two got divorced in 2014, they share 14-year-old twins Max and Emme. 

As for Affleck, he was married to Jennifer Garner from 2005–2018, with whom he shares daughters Violet, 16, and Seraphina, 13, and son Samuel, 10.

Lopez and Affleck's children were part of their October 2022 wedding ceremony.

Rekindling her romance with Affleck, she said, “is even better than the first time.” And she wanted to make sure that it translated over to her new album.

“True love does exist and some things do last forever. And that’s real. I want to put that message out to the world

That does take a lot of vulnerability, but I couldn’t stop myself. Parts of it scare me and I think parts of it scare Ben too.

He’s like, ‘Do you really want to say all this stuff?’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t know how else to do it, baby." Shared JLo
