Jennifer Lopez admits that when she returned to Ben Affleck after twenty years, the two sides still have very real feelings for each other!
After 6 engagements and 4 marriages, Latin diva Jennifer Lopez remains an incurable romantic.
That's why, after her wedding this summer, she wanted to bear the last name Ben Affleck so strongly.
In the cover story of the December issue of the American edition of Vogue, Jennifer Lopez responded to criticism that she chose to officially become Mrs. Ben Affleck, saying the whole thing was ridiculous.
"What? Really?" She replied. "People still call me Jennifer Lopez. But my legal name is Everek because we are married and we are husband and wife. I'm proud of that. I don't think that's a problem."
She never wanted Ben Affleck to be Mr. Lopez: "It has nothing to do with tradition, and there is no such thing as romance. I just feel that this is powerful, you know what I mean? I am in complete control of my life and destiny, and as a woman and a whole person, I feel empowered."
"I can understand that people have their own feelings about it, and that's okay. But if you want to know how I feel, I just think it's romantic. For me, it still carries tradition and romance, maybe I'm that kind of girl."
Jennifer Lopez also revealed how she and Ben Affleck rekindled their love after their first engagement setback and 20 years later - shortly after she and her ex-boyfriend Ellix Rodríguez canceled their engagement in early 2021, she received an email from Ben Affleck, who had also just ended his relationship with Ana de Armas.
InStyle magazine invited Ben Affleck to quote Jennifer Lopez in his cover story, and he wanted her to know that he only had good things to say about women. From then on, they started talking and then started visiting each other in their respective homes.
"Obviously, we don't want to show up in public," Jennifer Lopez said. "But I never shy away from the fact that for me, I always feel that there is a true love, a sincerity. Everyone around me knows that he is a very, very special person in my life. When we reconnect, those feelings are still very real to me."
However, Jennifer Lopez cautions: "I don't know if I would recommend this practice to everyone." "Sometimes you both grow up with each other, or you just grow up differently," she said. The two of us, we lost each other and got each other back. I don't want to discredit everything that happens in between, because all of these things are real."
"What we've always wanted is to find a peaceful place in our lives where we really feel a love, like we did when we were younger, wondering if you can still have that love again." Is it still there? Does this feel real? I think everyone has these problems."
"You've gone through all these relationships, you've been looking, you're connecting with different people and being separated from them, and you're like, oh my God, is this life? Like a carousel, roller coaster, or carnival? And then it was settled. But the process of achieving this is a mystery to everyone."
In an interview with " People " , Ben Affleck said " a wife has an innate , magical kindness , and a loving characteristic. "
"This is exactly the person I remembered 20 years ago," he said. When I see her, I see more that she is desperate to preserve the most incredible quality about her: a heart that seems to be filled with infinite love. She's exactly the kind of person I want to be."
