For her new album, Jennifer Lopez has recorded songs about her rekindled romance with Ben Affleck.
Following their 2022 wedding, J-Lo has poured her heart out in song as part of ‘This Is Me … Now’ – a sequel to her previous album ‘This Is Me … Then.’
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, the multi-hyphenate stated: “We captured me at this moment in time when I was reunited with the love of my life and we decided we were going to be together forever. The whole message of the album then is, ‘This love exists. This is a real love.’ Now I think what the message of the album is very much if you were wondering if you have, like me at times, lost hope, almost given up, don’t, because true love does exist and some things do last forever and that’s real.”
Prior to this years nuptials, Lopez and Affleck were previously engaged but separated in 2004 before they could exchange vows. And the singer admits it was tough showing her vulnerable side on her new songs, saying:
“I want to put that message [of true love] out into the world and that does take a lot of vulnerability. But I couldn’t stop myself and some parts of it scare me. And I think parts of it scare Ben too. He’s like, ‘Oh, do you really want to say all this stuff?’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t know how else to do it, baby’.”
Mrs Affleck’s previous album ‘This Is Me … Then’ was about her previous relationship with Ben, and she added “He loves that album. He loves that music. He knows all of the words. You know what I mean? It’s crazy. He also was with me while I was creating it.”
Jennifer is due to release ‘This Is Me … Now’ in 2023.
