Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have found their happy ending and already spent the first Thanksgiving together as a married couple, but the journey to get there wasn’t easy.
The actress and singer was the one who opened up fully in an interview on ‘Apple Music 1’s The Zane Lowe Show’ about her split from Affleck in 2004, calling it “the biggest heartbreak of my life”.
“It was very painful. 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.” Jennifer Lopez
She continued: “It sent me spiraling for the next 18 years where I just couldn’t get it right. But now, 20 years later, it has a happy ending. It has the most ‘would never happen in Hollywood’ ending.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are now together again after they broke up with their respective partners.
Jennifer will soon be releasing a new album called ‘This Is Me…Now’, which is an updated take on her 2002 release, ‘This Is Me…Then’, and is again inspired by her relationship with Ben Affleck.
“We captured myself in this moment when I met the love of my life and decided that we were going to be together forever,” JLo explained of the album’s theme, adding, “The whole message of the album is: ‘This love exists. This is real love.’”
The couple was engaged until 2004 before going their separate ways, rekindling their romance in 2021 and finally getting married in Las Vegas last July.
They then said ‘Yes’ in front of A-list guests at a sprawling Riceboro, Georgia, mansion for their second ceremony in August.
