Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's relationship is the true definition of a genuine love relationship, as these two imperfect individuals refused to give up on each other and fought hard for their love.

The celebrity couple initially began dating in 2002, stirring up a tabloid frenzy with their relationship, but eventually split in 2004. They then proceeded to pursue other relationships and started families of their own.

However, in April 2021, the pair sparked relationship rumors after they were spotted together for the first time in over a decade. These rumors turned out to be valid after the lovebirds tied the knot in July 2022. Following this year's Thanksgiving celebration, Lopez shared with her followers on Instagram the special moments she shared with Affleck and her family.

Per The Blast, the "Hustlers" actress set the internet on fire after she cleared her social media pages leaving it pitch black. 

The triple-threat entertainer, however, made her comeback in no time with a piece of unexpected and extraordinary news. Lopez took to her Instagram to announce the upcoming release of her first studio album in eight years.

She accompanied the news with a short clip that began with a recreation of her 2002 album, "This Is Me… Then." In the short clip, a younger Lopez was seen in a simple white cleavage-baring dress with a beanie as she said to the camera, "This is me then."

She proceeded to pull off her beanie as the video transitioned and revealed a much older and gorgeous Lopez, whose presence commanded the room. 

The talented songstress was seen rocking her voluminous honey-blonde hair that cascaded down her shoulders. She donned a corset top that accentuated her super-toned abs and paired it with leather pants and a baggy jacket. As the tone of the music in the background changed to a pumped-up beat, JLo announced the name of her new album with her melodious voice and sang, "This Is Me… Now."

In the caption that accompanied the post, Lopez blessed fans with even more great news by releasing the 13-song track list — of which two songs are dedicated to her marriage to Affleck — of the highly-anticipated project that is set to come in 2023.

The background music of the short clip was set to the tune of  "Try," by Pink, while a voiceover in the background echoed, "Guys, I did it. I found the person that makes me the happiest I have ever been."
