Jennifer Lopez has admitted she could’ve “never imagined” reuniting with her former fiance Ben Affleck last year, admitting nobody was “more surprised” than the pair.<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old singer and actress – who reunited with Ben 18 years after calling off their engagement – says her relationship with the 49-year-old actor is a “beautiful thing”.<\/p>\n

Speaking on \u201cThe Ellen DeGeneres Show\u201d, she said: “I don’t think anybody was more surprised than us.<\/p>\n

“No, you never could imagine something like that could happen. It’s a beautiful thing.”<\/p>\n

Jennifer and Ben reunited in April 2021 after dating in 2002 and calling off their engagement two years later.<\/p>\n

The \u201cMarry Me\u201d star also admitted she has “never been better”, and that is partly down to reuniting with the ‘Last Duel’ actor.<\/p>\n

She told PEOPLE: “I’ve never been better. It’s just that we’re all in a very beautiful moment.<\/p>\n

“I feel so lucky and happy and proud to be with him. It’s a beautiful love story that we got a second chance.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Jennifer – who has twins Max and Emme, 13, with her ex Marc Anthony – admitted she is “super happy” with Ben.<\/p>\n

She said: “It’s a great date night. We’re super happy. What can I tell you? We’re just having a good time.”<\/p>\n

Jennifer’s comments come after she admitted that while she “won’t talk about it a lot”, they’re both glad to have “a second chance at real love”.<\/p>\n

She recently explained: “I won’t talk about it a lot. We’ve both grown. We’re the same, and we’re different. And that’s what’s nice.<\/p>\n

“Yeah\u2026 having a second chance at real love … yeah. Like I said, we learned a lot. We know what’s real, what’s not real. So it’s just \u2014 the game has changed.”<\/p>\n

While the pair got back together last year, almost two decades after their breakup, Jennifer is confident they are in a much better place this time, and she doesn’t expect another split.<\/p>\n

She added: “I don’t think we would have got back together if we thought that was where it was headed.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n
