LOS ANGELES, Feb 14, (Agencies): Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck graced the red carpet together at the Los Angeles premiere of her latest Amazon original, "This Is Me…Now: A Love Story," held at the Dolby Theatre on Tuesday night. Joining them were other notable stars such as Derek Hough, America Ferrera, Fat Joe, and Xochitl Gomez.
"This Is Me…Now: A Love Story" is not just a movie; it's a musical and visual reinterpretation of the life events that inspired Lopez's upcoming album, "This Is Me…Now," acting as a sequel to her 2002 release, "This Is Me…Then." The project, featuring cameos from Trevor Noah and Jane Fonda, has been a labor of love for the 54-year-old Lopez. During a press conference last week, she shared that her real-life love story with Affleck, 51, played a pivotal role in bringing this project to fruition.
Recalling Affleck's encouragement, Lopez said, "I was like, ‘I don’t write, I don’t do this.’ He was like, ‘You do, you write, you direct, you produce, you choreograph, you do all the things. Start stepping into that, start owning a little bit of who you are.'"
The couple tied the knot in July 2022, over a year after reigniting their romance. Their journey is a remarkable one, considering they initially dated for two years in the early 2000s before parting ways just days before their scheduled 2004 wedding.
