In a recent interview with Apple Music 1's Zane Lowe, Jennifer Lopez opened up about the end of her relationship with actor Ben Affleck back in 2003. The 54-year-old Hustlers star revealed that they called off their first wedding in September 2003, but their breakup didn't happen right away. Instead, it occurred over the course of the next few months, and they officially split in January 2004.

During the interview, Lopez shared that calling off the wedding cast doubt on their relationship, causing both of them to question where it was going. Despite knowing in her heart that she wanted to spend her life with Affleck, Lopez admitted that at the time, they were not mature enough to address their issues and make a marriage work. She explained that they simply weren't ready to commit to the necessary work.

Following their breakup, Lopez went on to marry singer Marc Anthony later that year in 2004. The couple welcomed twins Emme and Max in February 2008. Meanwhile, Affleck married actress Jennifer Garner in 2005, and they had three children together – Violet Anne, Seraphina Rose, and Samuel.

Lopez and Anthony would later divorce in 2011, while Affleck and Garner called it quits in 2015 after 13 years of marriage, citing growing apart. After their respective divorces, Lopez and Affleck went on to have other relationships. Lopez got engaged to baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez in 2019, while Affleck also had other relationships.

However, as time went on, both Lopez and Affleck did some soul-searching and personal growth. Lopez mentioned in the interview that she reached a place in her life where she was content being on her own. She had built a successful career, had beautiful children, and great friends. It was at this point that Affleck reentered her life, having undergone a similar personal journey.

Ultimately, their experiences led them back to each other, and they got back together and remarried in 2022. This reunion comes almost 20 years after their initial split, proving that love and growth can mend broken paths.

The interview with Lopez sheds light on the complexities of their relationship and the lessons they learned along the way. It serves as a reminder that personal growth and self-discovery can ultimately lead to second chances and lasting love.

As the couple continues their journey together, fans eagerly await what lies ahead for one of Hollywood's most captivating duos, hoping that this time around, they have found the happiness and fulfillment they have long sought after.
