A representative of Lopez confirmed to CNN Saturday that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are engaged for the second time after their previous engagement was called off in 2004.

Her sister Linda Lopez shared screenshots of the video on her Instagram Stories and wrote, "It happened. I love you @jloben affleck."

The couple met in 2001 on the set of the romantic comedy "Gigli", where together they played the role of criminals caught up in a business and formed a true friendship.
After the film failed, Affleck told Entertainment Weekly in January that he had no regrets about "meeting Jennifer, his relationship with her has meant a lot to me in my life".
Affleck popped the question to Lopez in 2002 wearing a pink diamond-encrusted engagement ring.
But the couple postponed their marriage days before the wedding in 2003, saying in a statement: "Due to the excessive media interest in our wedding, we have decided to reschedule the date."
"When we found ourselves seriously considering hiring three wives in three different places, we realized that something was wrong," the statement continues. "We are beginning to feel that the spirit of what should have been the happiest day of our lives could be in jeopardy. We feel that what should have been a happy and holy day can be tainted by us, our families, and our friends."
Ben Affleck does not regret Gigli. After all, he met Jennifer Lopez.
In January 2004, they officially called things off.
It was speculated that the couple rekindled their romance after she and baseball legend Alex Rodriguez ended their engagement in April 2021.
"I feel lucky, happy and proud to be with him," Lopez told People magazine of meeting Affleck. "It's a beautiful love story, we had a second chance."
This will be the fourth marriage for Lopez, 52, and the second for Affleck, 49.
She was previously married to actor Ojani Noa, dancer Chris Good and singer Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 14-year-old twins Max and Amy.
Affleck was previously married to actress Jennifer Garner and they have Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10.
