Jennifer Lopez Was 'Surprised' She Got Back Together With Ben Affleck

On Thursday (February 10), Jennifer Lopez stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about her new movie Marry Me. Before she could get into her highly anticipated rom-com, host Ellen DeGeneres made sure to ask all about Lopez's rekindled romance with Ben Affleck.

For those who may not know, Lopez and Affleck were engaged back in 2004. Unfortunately, the pair called off their wedding and went their separate ways for nearly two decades. Last year, they reunited and found love with one another once again.

"Would you ever have imagined that it comes full circle and ends up like this?" DeGeneres asked Lopez about her reconciliation with Affleck.

"I don't think anybody was more surprised than us," Lopez replied with a laugh. "No, you never could imagine something like that could happen. It's a beautiful thing." Lopez then went on to admit she's happily in love with Affleck.

Lopez also recently sat down with People for an in-depth interview. During her chat with the outlet, she gushed about her "sacred" love with Affleck. "I just feel very happy and lucky to be in a relationship that's happy and loving, and I want to do everything I can to protect that and keep it safe. It deserves that, it really does," Lopez said of her reunion with her former fiance. "We hold it sacred."

She also sat down with Rolling Stone, where she divulged she believes she and Affleck are in it for the long haul. Though they called it off once before, Lopez doesn't see that happening again. “I don’t think we would have got back together if we thought that was where it was headed,” she said. “We feel like what we found again is so much more important, and how we protect that and how we live our lives — what to share, what not to share — is the balance that we have now, the benefit of experience and the wisdom that we gained over the years.”

Marry Me will arrive in theaters, as well as be available to stream on Peacock, on Friday (February 11).
