Speaking on Australia's Kyle and Jackie O Radio Show, the singer admitted she needed to “understand herself” before “the universe opened up” and allowed her to reconnect with her former fiancé Ben Affleck.
“I fell in love with the love of my life before and for some reason we had to grow up and do other things. We both had children with other people and other relationships, but in my mind I felt like it was the right thing to do,” she said.
Jennifer Lopez, 54, and Ben Affleck, 51, dated in the early 2000s but called off their engagement in 2004 citing pressure from being in the public eye. In 2021 they found each other.
“I couldn't believe it and I don't think he believed it either,” she admitted. We hadn't planned that. We had really moved on in our lives, but when we met again it was almost instantaneous and we knew it. »
