  • Jennifer Lopez is engaged to Ben Affleck for the second time.

Jennifer Lopez has declared that she and Ben Affleck are back together 18 years after they called off their wedding.

In her web newsletter, OnTheJLo, the singer and actress, 52, claimed she was engaged for the second time to Hollywood actor Affleck.

In a post to her 202 million Instagram followers on Saturday, she teased that she had a “big news.”

Those who are not part of her “inside circle” must sign up for her newsletter on her website, where she reveals “more intimate stuff,” she added.

In a video, Lopez may be seen crying while admiring a massive green engagement diamond.

She’s since added a diamond ring emoji to her Twitter profile, which she used to announce her engagement to her 45.2 million followers.

After Lopez’s breakup with baseball player Alex Rodriguez and Affleck’s separation with actress Ana DeArmas last year, the pair, dubbed Bennifer, rekindled their affair.

After being photographed together in May of last year, they ignited rumors of a reconciliation.

On her 52nd birthday, Lopez revealed their romance was back on with an Instagram post of her kissing her beau on a yacht in St Tropez.

The Hollywood actors were photographed kissing at the 78th Venice Film Festival premiere of The Last Duel in September, marking their first Red Carpet appearance since reuniting.

Lopez and Affleck began dating in July 2002, and they married in November of that year.

They were supposed to marry in September 2003, but they called off their engagement in January 2004 just days before the ceremony.

Affleck was previously married to actress Jennifer Garner, but their 13-year marriage ended in divorce in 2018.

Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, are Affleck and Garner’s children.

Lopez’s ex-boyfriends include singer Marc Anthony, with whom she was married for ten years before divorcing in 2014.

Emme and Max, 14 years old, are their twins.
