Mrs. Affleck attack: 10 times Jennifer Lopez gushes about ‘Dear Ben’ on ‘This Is Me… Now’
Jennifer Lopez’s new album “This Is Me… Now” — the sequel to 2002’s “This Is Me… Then,” which dropped on Friday — is her first LP as Mrs. Affleck.
And now that J.Lo has finally found her happily ever after — 18 years after she and Ben Affleck called off their first engagement, Bennifer got hitched at last in 2022 — the Bronx-born diva can’t shut up about what she calls the “Greatest Love Story Never Told.”
You would think they were damn Antony and Cleopatra.
On her first new studio album in a decade — since 2014’s “A.K.A.” — here are 10 times that the 54-year-old superstar spills all about her romantic drama with “Dear Ben.”
“This Is Me… Now”
“Growing pains, broke some chains in every chapter/Now we know what it takes for our ever after/Took some lefts, now we’re right here where we are”
“To Be Yours”
“Long ago and oh so far away, babe/Met this superstar and then he changed my life/Don’t you remember you told me you loved me?/So promise me that we ain’t gonna waste more time”
“Mad in Love”
“You are my heart, you’re my everything/Read me that letter, then you gave me that ring/Two decades later and it still hit the same/Won’t lose you, won’t lose you, won’t lose you”
“not.going.anywhere”
“S—t was on the rocks like the Harlem Shake/But you know I’m from the Bronx, so I’m ’bout my cake/When you sent that email, you knew just what to say/We let it go once, daddy, now it’s back to stay”
“Dear Ben, Pt. II”
“Sitting here alone, looking at my ring, ring/Feeling overwhelmed, it make me wanna sing, sing/How did we end up here without a rewind?/Oh my, this is my life/Sitting here alone, knowing you will call me/Look down at my phone and there’s your caller ID”
“Hearts and Flowers”
“Now she got even more than she had/Now she got hella haters and they hella mad/They say it’s the same ol’ Jenny, wanna block me/Paparazzi trying to make a move like they got me”
“Broken Like Me”
“I loved you so much and that messed me up/Gave what I could but it wasn’t enough/You drifted away, left me so numb/Tears on my gown, look what you’ve done”
“This Time Around”
“All that fake s—t you can’t sell me/Nothing you can tell me/I’ve been waiting so long, finally found it/Ain’t no way, baby, we could live without it/All that bulls—t just don’t phase us/All the hate couldn’t break us/’Cause when you know better, you do better/We get to have a do-over forever”
“Midnight Trip to Vegas”
“We’re drowning in orchid arrangements/Dresses and pastries/What if it’s raining, yeah?/Is this what we’ve been dreaming of?/It’s crowded with families and agents/Room reservations, which destination?/Paps, helicopters, event of the ages/Caught in the matrix”
“Greatest Love Story Never Told”
“Different roads, two lost souls/Never thought we’d find our way back/Could’ve lost what matters most/How could I live with that?/Missing your body climbing on top of me, slipping inside of me/Way that I ride it, bodies aligning, look at our timing”
