Jennifer Lopez Shares Moving Valentine’s Day Gift From Ben Affleck: ‘This Melted My Heart’

Ben Affleck has really outdone himself this time.

In a new post shared on Jennifer Lopez’s newsletter, On the JLo, the Marry Me star shared a nearly 4-minute music video created (or, more likely, commissioned) by her boyfriend. The “On My Way: The Remix” music video combines a performance of her song with photos and videos from their first relationship in the early 2000s. It ended with a sweet kissing selfie of the pair from their rekindled romance, which began in Spring 2021. 

Along with the video, which you can watch here, Lopez opened up about the significance behind Affleck’s “very special” gesture. “I am going to share something very special and personal with you that normally that I would only share with my inner circle,” she told subscribers, per The Daily Mail. “It’s an early Valentine’s Day present from Ben. Watching it made me think about the journey of true love, its unexpected twists and turns, and that when it’s real, it actually can last forever.’”

She added, “This seriously melted my heart.”

During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Jennifer Lopez revealed why her current relationship is built to last. “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.”

This isn’t the first time she’s opened up about their unconventional “love story” with Affleck.

In early February, Lopez explained how they’ve changed as a couple since their 2004 split. “It’s a beautiful love story that we got a second chance,” Lopez told People. “Before we kind of put [our relationship] out there and we were naive and it got a little trampled. 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.”
