Pop diva Jennifer Lopez announced that she is engaged to actor Ben Affleck, with whom she reconciled in 2021, almost two decades after the couple broke their wedding plans and went their separate ways.

On her Twitter account, the Puerto Rican singer said she had a “very exciting and special story to share” and warned that she would give it through her personal newsletter “On the JLO”, although she offered a great clue by placing the “emoji” of a ring next to her name.

The message to subscribers included another video in which the singer admired an engagement ring with a stunning green diamond.

Lopez, 52, and Affleck, 49, began dating for the first time in the middle of 2002 and got engaged that same year, but they postponed the wedding and eventually called it off in 2004, although they have assured that their friendship lasted over the years before they were given a second chance.

After nearly two decades apart, the paths of the stars reunited after she ended her four-year relationship with Alex Rodriguez and the protagonist of “Gone Girl” ended his relationship with Spanish actress Ana de Armas.

In this second round they have been inseparable. Now, the couple nicknamed “Bennifer”, has become the sensation of red carpets and walks in public around the world, alone or accompanied by their respective children: Lopez had two with her ex-husband, singer Marc Anthony; and Affleck three with his ex-wife, performer Jennifer Garner.

I feel so lucky, happy and proud to be with him,” Lopez recently told People magazine. “It's a beautiful love story.”

JLo acknowledged that they “were a little afraid” when they started to come out because of media pressure. “We are so happy and we don't want any of that to come into play again,” said the singer. “Now we're older, we're smarter, we're more experienced and we're in different places in our lives,” she explained about this second round with the Oscar winner. “I honestly believe that love rules everything. Love always conquers everything: relationships, children, work, work relationships. It's about how loving, open and accepted you are. When you're in a good, healthy relationship, everyone benefits from it. Everyone,” he continued.

“I'm so proud of him, I'm so proud of the man he's become that I've seen him from afar. Being honest with each other, being affectionate, that's the basis of everything,” added the singer, who recently received support from her boyfriend at the premiere of “Marry Me” in Los Angeles. Both are very close at every Hollywood event.

JLo's unconditional support helped him position Affleck again as a hunk in Hollywood. At the screening of “The Last Duel” at the Venice Film Festival, all eyes were on him because it was his first appearance with the Latin singer on the red carpet since they resumed their romance after almost two decades apart.
