Why Ben Affleck Engraved “Not Going Anywhere” on Jennifer Lopez’s Ring

“It was the biggest heartbreak of my life and I honestly though I was gonna die,” she shared. “It sent me on a spiral for the next 18 years where I just couldn’t get it right. But now, 20 years later, it does have a happy ending.”

Lopez and Affleck tied the knot on July 16 in a Las Vegas ceremony, exchanging vows again one month later at a larger celebration in Georgia. For the second occasion, the newlyweds were surrounded by friends and family, including by Lopez’s 14-year-old twins Max and Emme, who she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Affleck’s three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: daughters Violet, 16 and Seraphina, 13, and son Samuel, 10.

During her chat with Lowe, Lopez remarked that though she and Ben lead “separate paths” before reconnecting, they did each “beautiful things and we had these amazing children.”

“Once got whole enough, complete enough, loved ourselves enough and could stand on our own two feet really completely, as the universe had it, we were bought into each other’s lives again,” she noted. “It was like a crack in the clouds and the sun came through.”
