Jennifer Lopez says she 'always felt like' she'd find 'true love' in Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez always knew in her heart that Ben Affleck was the one.

In the November cover story for Vogue published Tuesday, the 53-year-old multi-hyphenate star gushed about having her happy ending with the Batman star.

“Obviously we weren’t trying to go out in public. But I never shied away from the fact that for me, I always felt like there was a real love there, a true love there,” she shared.

”People in my life know that he was a very, very special person in my life. When we reconnected, those feelings for me were still very real.”

Lopez revealed that Affleck, 50, was the one to make the move.

According to the Marry Me star, the Gone Girl actor had only recently split from Ana De Armas when he emailed her to let her know he had raved about her in an interview.

“I don’t know that I recommend this for everybody,” she noted about the idea of exes reconnecting. “Sometimes you outgrow each other, or you just grow differently.”

Lopez explained that she and Affleck “lost each other” and then “found each other” again.

“Not to discredit anything in between that happened, because all those things were real too,” she elaborated. “All we’ve ever wanted was to kind of come to a place of peace in our lives where we really felt that type of love that you feel when you’re very young and wonder if you can have that again. Does it exist? Is it real? All those questions that I think everyone has.”

She continued, “You go through all these relationships, and you’re searching and you’re connecting and you’re disconnecting with people, and you’re like, ‘God, is this just what life is? Like a carousel, roller coaster, carnival ride?’ And then it settles. But the journey to that is the mystery for everybody.”
