Jennifer Lopez recently commemorated the first anniversary of her extravagant wedding to Ben Affleck, which took place on August 20, 2022, at their estate near Savannah, Georgia. The actress and singer shared some photos from the memorable day on her verified social media accounts, captioning them with "One year ago today."
In a heartfelt message accompanying the photos, Lopez expressed her feelings, writing, "Dear Ben/Sitting here alone/Looking at my ring ring/Feeling overwhelmed. It makes me wanna sing sing/How did we end up here/Without a rewind/Oh my/This is my life…" She concluded the post with the hashtags #DearBenPartII and #ThisIsMeNow.
The phrase "This Is Me… Now" holds special significance, as it is the title of Lopez's upcoming ninth studio album, and "Dear Ben II" is one of the tracks featured on this new work.
Notably, in 2002, Lopez released the album "This is Me…Then," which featured the song "Dear Ben," a love song dedicated to Ben Affleck. Their engagement at that time was well-known, but they subsequently went their separate ways for nearly two decades before rekindling their romance.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez initially tied the knot in a modest ceremony in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by a more lavish celebration in August.
This touching wedding anniversary tribute came less than a week after Jennifer Lopez wished her husband a happy birthday on August 15, sharing a video of the couple joyfully singing along to Sam Cooke's "[What A] Wonderful World" while driving in a car.
