JENNIFER SPILLS THE BEANS ON ‘BUBBLE BATH’ PROPOSAL

“Did you ever imagine your biggest dream could come true?” she began the newsletter. “Saturday night while at my favourite place on earth (in the bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed. I was taken totally off guard and just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again, I was quite literally speechless and he said, ‘is that a yes?’ I said YES of course that’s a YES.”
She continued, “I was smiling so big and tears were coming down my face, feeling so incredibly happy and whole. It was nothing fancy at all, but it was the most romantic thing I could’ve ever imagined...Two very lucky people. Who got a second chance at true love (sic),” concluded Lopez.
The star also shared an image of her green diamond engagement ring, writing, “Green has always been my lucky colour and now, for ure, it always will e.”
She recently told ople what makes eir connection fferent now, mpared to 18 years o, is: “We’re older now, ’re smarter, we have ore experience...we’re at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things.”
Lopez shares 14-year-old twins Emme and Max with ex-husband, singersongwriter Marc Anthony, and Affleck has three kids with ex-wife, actor Jennifer Garner: Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10.
