Ben Affleck couldn’t be more “grateful” for his reconciliation with Jennifer Lopez.
The actor – who’s been dating his ex-fiancé since April – was asked to share the story behind what led to their reignited romance that practically broke the internet in 2021.
“I can say that it’s definitely beautiful to me,” Affleck, 49, told WSJ. Magazine, playing coy. “And, you know, one of the things I really value across all facets of my life now is that it was handled in a way that reflected that.”
“It’s a good story. It’s a great story. And, you know, maybe one day I’ll tell it,” he continued. “I’ll write it all out … and then I’ll light it on fire.”
The A-lister also got candid about receiving a “second chance” not only in his career and personal life, but “as a human being.”
“Life is difficult, and we are always failing and hopefully learning from those failures,” he said.
“The one thing you really need to avail yourself of the opportunities provided from that growth is the second chance.”
Affleck said that his life now reflects “not just the person that I want to be, but the person that I really feel like I am.”
“Which is not perfect, but somebody who tries very hard and cares very much about being honest and authentic and accountable,” he explained. “It’s hard to say who benefits more, without going into gossipy detail.”
Meanwhile, Lopez told Today last month that she still believes in marriage, despite having been divorced three times – from Ojani Noa, Cris Judd and Marc Anthony.
“I don’t know, yeah, I guess,” the singer, 52, replied, when asked if she would consider saying “I do” again. “I still believe in happily ever after, for sure, 100 percent.”
