JAKARTA - Jennifer Lopez opened her voice about the reason she returned to dating Ben Affleck. 18 years after they ended their relationship, they got into a relationship and even formalized their relationship to the level of marriage.

Lopez and Affleck dated in July 2021 and married in Las Vegas a year later. The two had a relationship and married someone else before returning to their relationship.

The 54-year-old singer admitted that she needed time to think about their relationship. Especially after he got married and divorced three times.

"I fell in love with someone and for whatever reason, we need to grow up and do something else," Jennifer Lopez said in The Kyle and Jackie O Show.

"We both broke up and had kids with other people and someone else's relationship, but in my mind, I felt 'Oh, the relationship was like that' so when we came back we both didn't believe it," he said.

Neither Jennifer Lopez nor Ben Affleck did not expect the two of them to return and continue their relationship as far as the marriage.

"This is not something we plan to do. We've really moved on from our lives and when we connect again, it happens instantly and we know," explained Jennifer Lopez.

When I divorced, I went through a period of myself trying to find out about relationships and things like that. I felt I was doing well myself, and when the universe opened up that moment, I felt 'Okay I was ready' he said again.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck first met at the production of the film Gigli in 2001. At that time, Lopez was still married to Chris Judd.

The two got engaged in November 2002 but ended their relationship four days before their wedding day. They said the relationship ended due to public attention.

Lopez then married Marc Anthony in 2014 and filed for divorce in the same year. Ben Affleck married Jennifer Garner and had three children before they divorced in 2017. The divorce of Affleck and Garner is thought to be related to an affair.

On the other hand, Jennifer Lopez will release a film and album entitled This Is Me... Now which contains about her love life. Ben Affleck also acted in the film.
