“I fell in love with the love of my life [earlier in life] and for whatever reasons that we needed to grow and do other things”, Jennifer candidly explained.
Lopez continued: “We both went off and had children with other people and other relationships, but you know in my mind I kind of had it like, ‘Oh, that was kind of the one’”.

Jennifer and Ben started dating in 2002 and got engaged later that year. The couple parted ways in 2004, one year after postponing their wedding in 2003.
In the same year, Jennifer went on to marry Marc Anthony. The couple welcomed their twins Max and Emme in 2008. Anthony and Lopez split in 2014.
Ben on the other hand got married to Jennifer Garner in 2008. They split in 2018. The former couple have two daughters Violet who is 18 years old and Seraphina who is 15 years old.
Lopez and Affleck then reunited in 2021 and tied the knot in 2022.
“I was like ‘I’m good on my own, I’m fine, I love my life’. And when you get to that place, I think that’s when the universe kind of opened up to me and was like, “OK now you’re ready.’”, Jennifer shared.
