Throwing it back! Jennifer Lopez shared her Mother’s Day well-wishes for all of her fellow moms by sharing a video from the early 2000s featuring fiancé Ben Affleck.
“Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommy’s out there!!!” the “Jenny From the Block” singer, 52, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, May 8, alongside a clip of her and the Good Will Hunting star, 49, at a basketball game two decades ago. In the video, Lopez waves at the camera and blows a kiss before wishing her own mother a “Happy Mother’s Day.”
“We love you!” she adds, while Affleck shares his own message for his mom.
“Hollywood’s hottest couple,” as the basketball announcer describes them in a clip, originally began dating in January 2002 after meeting on the set of the movie Gigli. They got engaged in November of that year but called off their September 2003 wedding because of “excessive media attention.” They officially broke up four months later.
In June 2004, Lopez married Marc Anthony. The now-exes welcomed twins Max and Emme in February 2008. They separated three years later, and their divorce was finalized in 2014. Affleck, for his part, moved on with Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares daughters Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and son Samuel, 10. The former couple, who tied the knot in June 2005, called it quits in 2015. Three years later, their divorce was made final.
Affleck and Lopez rekindled their romance in April 2021, shortly after the Marry Me actress split from fiancé Alex Rodriguez. Last month, the Argo director proposed to Lopez for a second time, two decades after their initial engagement. “Saturday night while at my favorite place on earth (in the bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed,” the Grammy nominee wrote in her On the JLo
