Jennifer Lopez Opens Up About Relationship with Ben Affleck
Eight months after reuniting, Jennifer Lopez is finally sharing some details about her romance with Ben Affleck.
After more than a decade since their breakup, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck rekindled their romance last year. Understandably, they quickly rose to the level of one of the most talked-about and followed couples of the moment.
Despite the mass public support, the duo has preferred keeping their private lives private, which makes sense considering that both stars have been candid about how the press influenced their previous breakup. However, the singer recently made an exception and opened up about life with Affleck.
"I feel so lucky and happy and proud to be with him. It's a beautiful love story that we got a second chance... I'm so proud of him, I'm so proud of the man he's become that I've seen from afar," Lopez said in an interview with People.
She added, “We are older now, we are smarter, we have more experience, we are in different places in our lives, we have kids now and we have to be very aware of these things. Such a beautiful moment for all of us. I feel very happy and lucky to be in a happy, loving relationship.”
Lopez shares twins Emme and Maximilian, both 8, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck is the father of Violet, 16, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9, from his marriage to Jennifer Garner.
The Marry Me star continued, “When you find someone and you really love them, and you get a second chance at it? This is a really rare, precious, beautiful thing and we don't take it for granted. I'm so proud of him, I'm so proud of the man he's become that I've seen from afar."
