Jennifer Lopez poked fun at her past relationships in the music video for her new single “Can't Get Enough.”
The music video, which dropped on Wednesday, January 10, features the singer and actress in a wedding dress with multiple grooms, a subtle nod to all the grooms she's had in her personal life, most recently her now-husband Ben Affleck.
Lopez's video begins with her standing at the altar in front of her groom Tony Bellissimo in a low-cut wedding dress as they recite their vows and say “I do.” After making their way to the reception, another groom shows up just in time for the couple's first dance.
This time it's Derek Hough. The two begin an elaborate ballroom dance as Trevor Jackson proudly takes his place as the third and final groom near the end of the dance. Jackson and Lopez shine through the sit-down dinner, group dance number and throwing a “cursed” bouquet of flowers.
Throughout the video, many people in the crowd gossip about Lopez and her grooms, placing bets on whether their relationship will “last” this time or whether “third time's the charm.”
As the wedding day comes to an end in the music video and Lopez and her three grooms cut the cake, the wedding and the video end on a somber note.
Lopez is seen sitting alone and her grooms' voices reflect all the things she did wrong in the relationship.
The “On The Floor” singer was married three times before marrying Affleck. The couple met when she was married to her second husband, Cris Judd.
Lopez previously admitted that she and Affleck are still dealing with the wreckage of their first relationship, having been engaged in the early 2000s.
After breaking up in 2004, the Hustlers star and the Gone Girl leading lady got back together in 2021. Now Lopez is opening up about their time together, from the time they started dating in 2002 to the end of their engagement. and how it still affects them today.
Speaking to Variety, the 54-year-old music icon candidly admitted that both she and Affleck, 51, “suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder” due to their early romance, which ended abruptly. “But we’re older now,” Lopez shared on Dec. 20. “We are smarter. We also know what's important, what's really important in life, and it doesn't matter so much what other people think. It’s about staying true to yourself.”
Lopez and Affleck were introduced 21 years ago on the set of their first film together, Gigli. At the time, Lopez was married to Judd, but she filed for divorce that same year. Their separation was finalized in 2003, but by then Lopez and Affleck were already engaged.
In 2003, the Hollywood couple released another film together, Jersey Girl. Although their on-screen connection seemed perfect, in real life their relationship was on thin ice. Days before their planned wedding, the couple ended things.
Ahead of her rekindled romance with Affleck, the “On The Floor” singer reflected on the factors that led to their devastating split. During the 2016 interview, she partially blamed tabloid attention. “I think a different time, a different thing, who knows what could have happened, but there was a real love there,” she told People.
In April 2021 — a month after Lopez called off her two-year engagement to former Yankees star Alex Rodriguez — Affleck and Lopez were spotted in the same SUV. In May, reports began circulating that the couple was spending time together before being seen vacationing in Big Sky, Montana. “Jen and Ben are both very happy [other] and are excited to see where the relationship goes,” an insider told Us Weekly later that month. “They are totally dating and very happy together.”
About a year later, Lopez admitted that she had tried to keep this new era of their relationship as private as possible in order to do things differently this time.
The couple eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022.
