Jennifer Lopez feels โ€œlucky and proudโ€ to be back in a relationship with Ben Affleck.

The 52-year-old pop star originally dated Hollywood actor Ben between 2002 and 2004 but the pair reunited in 2021 thinks it is โ€œbeautifulโ€ that they have given their romance another chance.

She said: โ€œIโ€™ve never been better. Itโ€™s just that weโ€™re all in a very beautiful moment I feel so lucky and happy and proud to be with [Ben]. Itโ€™s a beautiful love story that we got a second chance.โ€

Jennifer then went on to explain that this time round she and Ben โ€“ who was married to fellow Hollywood star Jennifer Garner between 2005 and 2018 โ€“ have made a conscious decision to keep their relationship private.

She told PEOPLE: โ€œBefore we kind of put [our relationship] out there and we were naรฏve and it got a little trampled. We both were like, โ€˜Wow, weโ€™re so happy and we donโ€™t want any of that to come into play again.'โ€

The โ€˜Love Donโ€™t Cost a Thingโ€™ hitmaker โ€“ who has twins Emme and Maximilian, 13, from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony, whilst Ben has Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13 and Samuel, nine, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner โ€“ added that having children has made them โ€œprotectiveโ€ of how they portray their relationship in the media.

She said: โ€œWeโ€™re older now, weโ€™re smarter, we have more experience, weโ€™re at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things. Weโ€™re so protective because it is such a beautiful time for all of us.โ€
