WE ARE BENGAGED
After calling romance off..
JENNIFER Lopez wept tears of joy as she revealed she is once again set to marry Ben Affleck – 18 years after the A-list couple called off their first engagement.
The actress and singer, 52, shared an Instagram video of herself crying while admiring a huge green engagement ring.
The clip opens with a close-up of the sparkler then pans up to J.lo’s smiling face.
Lopez had teased the “major announcement” with a video on Twitter and Instagram, in which she said: “I have a really exciting and special story to share...” The Jenny from the Block star also added a diamond ring emoji to her Twitter handle.
Hours after the announcement the loved-up couple were house hunting. Last month, they were said to be interested in a $50million, 20,000 sq ft Bel Air mansion with 10 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms.
Bennifer was back on last May when the mum-of-two and double Oscar-winner Ben, 49, rekindled the romance that had fizzled out in 2004.
The loved-up pair were photographed together in Montana. Batman star Affleck
had split from James Bond actress Ana de Armas, 33, and Lopez had broken up with baseball star Alex Rodriguez, 46, in April last year.
Jen and Ben had previously dated from July 2002. They got engaged in that November and were due to tie the knot in September 2003. But the wedding was postponed just days before the ceremony and they called off their engagement in January 2004.
Lopez officially confirmed she was back together with Affleck in an Instagram post for her 52nd birthday when she shared a picture of them kissing on a private yacht.
The couple have since become a fixture on red carpets, supporting each other at various film premieres and awards shows.
Affleck was married to actress Jennifer Garner for 13 years from 2005. They have three kids – Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10. Lopez’s other past relationships include her 10-year marriage to singer Marc Anthony. They divorced in 2014 and have 14-year-old twins Emme and Max together.
