Jennifer Lopez has opened up a couple of tough time together with her now-husband Ben Affleck, as reported by People. In a current interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, the ‘Hustlers’ actor mentioned how she and Ben Affleck postpone their first wedding ceremony in September 2003, almost 20 years earlier than they married.

“We didn’t break up right at that moment, it happened over the series of the next few months,” defined Lopez, who finally cut up from Affleck in January 2004. “Because what it did was it cast doubt in me, and both of us, about what our relationship was and where it was going, I think.” “I knew in my heart that I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life, I knew that. But it didn’t feel like we were going to make it,” continued Lopez, whose new movie This Is Me…Now: A Love Story premieres Friday on Prime Video. “And so, it scared me.”

Lopez, who met Affleck in 2002 whereas engaged on the movie Gigli, claimed they weren’t “mature enough” to determine their relationship. “Even though he was in his late 20s, I was in my early 30s, it still, it wasn’t … we weren’t ready to deal with, and look at each other and go, what we have is real, we need to buckle down, we need to do some work,” she defined. “We just weren’t there yet.”

Following their separation, Lopez married musician Marc Anthony, with whom she has 15-year-old twins Max and Emme. She and Anthony separated in 2011 after seven years of marriage, as per People. The Argo director married Jennifer Garner in 2005. Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 11, have been born to the couple earlier than their separation in 2015.

“We went, and we both tried, and found other people, and had beautiful children, and had other families, and then even had other relationships after that,” Lopez mentioned in her interview with Lowe. “It wasn’t until both of us had done, I know for me, a lot of work, and got into a place where I was like, ‘You know what? I’m totally good on my own. I’m chill, I love my life, I have this amazing career that I’ve built for myself, I have these amazing children … I have great friends.’ That’s when he showed back up,” she mentioned.

She and Affleck rejoined as a pair in 2021 and married in a shock Las Vegas ceremony the subsequent yr. ‘This Is Me…Now’ had its Los Angeles debut on Tuesday evening. Lopez grew to become tearful when acknowledging Affleck earlier than the screening.

“There is the person who inspired this for me, who has inspired me my whole life. He just, he inspired an album 20 years ago and I know he hates that I’m doing this right now,” she mentioned, referring to Affleck and her 2002 album ‘This Is Me…Then.’ “He’s just like, ‘Please shut up.’ No! And I say no. I say, I love you and thank you for believing in me and helping me believe in myself,” she mentioned.

“And helping me to grow every single day. Thank you for the family that we’ve created and our children and everything that you do for me.” ‘This is me…Now: A Love Story’ is out there on Prime Video. (ANI)
