After keeping quiet about reuniting with Ben Affleck, Jennifer has finally spoken out about their romance.
Jennifer acknowledged that she and Affleck “had a little bit of fear” over revealing their relationship because they’d been naïve in the past but explained how they’d learned their lesson. “We both were like, ‘Wow, we’re so happy, and we don’t want any of that to come into play,” she said of the media scrutiny they had lived under in the 2000s.

She then told the People: “We’re older now, we’re smarter, we have more experience, we’re at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things. We’re so protective because it is such a beautiful time for all of us. I feel so lucky and happy and proud to be with him.”

“I just feel very happy and lucky to be in a relationship that’s happy and loving. I want to do everything I can to protect that and keep it safe. It deserves that; it really does. We hold it sacred.” Jennifer compared both of their relationships, saying there was “more of an appreciation and celebration for it this time.”
“It’s a beautiful love story that we got a second chance.”
“To see the person, the human being, the man that he’s today, the father that he’s today, the partner that he’s, he is so everything I always knew he was and wanted to be.”
She continued: “It’s beautiful the way it feels, very different than it was years ago. When you find somebody and you really, really love them, and you get a second chance at that? That is a really rare, precious, beautiful thing, and we don’t take it for granted.” Speaking of Affleck, J.Lo said she was so proud of him and scared she’d been watching from afar as he became the man he’s today.

As for what the future holds, Jennifer reveals she just wants “love and happiness” all around.
“I am so proud of the man he’s become that I’ve watched from afar. Being honest with each other, being loving, that’s just the basis of everything. I feel like he’s at a place in his life where – just like how I feel about myself, it’s been a journey of learning yourself and figuring yourself out, getting to a place where you feel really good on your own and who you are so you can be happy in a happy, happy relationship.”
She said: “Being honest with each other, being loving, that’s just the basis of everything.”
