JLo said in the voiceover clip, "This is the best time of my life,” she said. “I love my career, but nothing is more fulfilling to me than being able to build a family with someone who I love deeply and who is just as dedicated to family and to each other as we can be.

Back when JLo and Affleck ended their engagement on January 22, 2004, and moved on with their life, fans had little hope of them coming back together.
JLo's 'True Love' Ben Affleck
The duo moved on after splitting up in 2004 and married different people, JLo married Marc and 2004, and Affleck married Garner in 2005 respectively. After splitting up with Marc in 2014, JLo revealed some heartbreaking details in her book 'True Love' where called Affleck to be her "first true heartbreak." In the book, she said, "Ben and I split up at the moment when I thought we were committing to each other forever, it was my first real heartbreak, it felt like my heart had been torn out of my chest. I sought out comfort in another person and tried to find someone who could make me feel loved and wanted in my loneliest hour. Marc came back into my life three days after I should have been at the altar saying ‘I do’ to another man."
Fast forward to 2018, Affleck divorced Garner. Both JLo and Affleck got out of a long-term marriage and started dating Alex Rodriguez and Ana de Armas respectively. Jlo was even engaged to A-Rod but broke it off. Her heart still yearned for Affleck and some insiders told E! News that "They really care for each other and they picked up right where they left off." The duo seems to be doing extremely well and their fans only hope for things to take off even further from here.
