Having created and spent $20 million of her own money over 20 years, this is Jennifer Lopez's most personal project yet!
J.Lo recently released a new album, “This Is Me… Now,” a cinematic musical experience loosely based on her love story with Ben Affleck, titled “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story.” “announced.
Now, Jennifer gets candid like never before in a new hour-long Apple Music interview with Zane Lowe.
In the interview, Jennifer revealed that she and Ben broke up just days before their wedding in 2004.
“I knew I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life,” she said. I knew it. But I was scared because I didn't think we would succeed. It was very difficult… Then we both met other people, had beautiful children, and have since had other families and other relationships. After working, I came to a place like that, and it seemed like I was doing really well on my own. Then he appeared again.”
Their relationship has inspired much of her music over the years. She told Zane that while recording “This Is Me… Now,” it was difficult for Ben to hear some of the lyrics. “He loved the studio and would just say, ‘I can’t do that,’” she said. It’s too much for me to even think that you felt that way or that you felt that way.’”
It’s also an album that focuses on love and pain!
“He pushed me to look at this, look at that pain, do things like that, but don’t make this record just about happy, sunny hearts and flowers. Make it different and inject it into that too,” Jennifer stressed.
The couple's relationship has been under a microscope, but they are just making progress. 'I feel very good about where we are right now,' she said. We have five children, who are much more important to us than any other son. We wish them well.”
Couples need to sit down and tell their kids not to believe everything they read. “We try not to make it a big deal in our house because their lives are much more important than the fact that we are their parents,” J.Lo said. We are famous. We do things in a way that's like, 'You know that's not right.' [true]. 'That's nonsense, isn't it?' They say, ‘No, we know.’”
