Jennifer Lopez admits not everyone in her camp initially supported the idea to document her romance with husband Ben Affleck in her upcoming “This Is Me… Now” album and companion film.
“As artists, we have to follow our heart and this is me following my heart and doing something that maybe everybody didn’t think was the best idea, but I had to do it,” Lopez tells me.
Lopez is set to drop “This Is Me… Now,” a new album that marks the 20th anniversary of “This Is Me…Then,” on Feb. 16. The Dave Meyers-directed companion short film will be released at the same time by Amazon MGM Studios.
Sure, Lopez has some worries about putting her and Affleck’s life in the spotlight because “we both have PTSD” caused by the media scrutiny they endured back when they first dated, she said, “but we’re older now. We’re wiser. We also know what’s important, what’s really important in life, and it’s not so much what other people think. It’s about being true to who you are.”
Asked if the film is a scripted feature or doc, Lopez explained, “You have to see it and you’ll have to experience it to understand it. That’s why I call it a ‘musical experience.’ Because there’s music, you can see it, you can hear it and then you’ll get to live it.”
A recent teaser for the film included a clip of Lopez saying, “When I was a little girl, when someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer was always… in love.”
It was almost a year ago when Lopez told me, at the premiere of her rom-com “Shotgun Wedding,” that she would love to act with Affleck again. They infamously co-starred in 2003’s “Gigli,” which bombed both with critics and at the box office. “We talk,” Lopez said at the time. “We love being together and working together so, yeah, you never know.”
Lopez and Affleck initially dated in the early 2000s. Bennifer, as they were often called, came to an end not long after they called off their wedding in 2003. The relationship was rekindled in 2021 before marrying in Las Vegas in 2022.
Lopez and Affleck’s most recent red carpet appearance took place on Dec. 5 in Hollywood when she was honored at Elle’s Women in Hollywood celebration.
Hollywood Heartthrob Tom Cruise Swept Off His Feet by Rumored ‘New’ Love
The public has been wondering about the 61-year-old actor Tom Cruise’s love life as he has been comparatively quiet about his romantic pursuits in recent years. His third wife, Katie Holmes, filed for divorce fifteen years ago, which is a noteworthy period of time. Cruise appears to have faced difficulties in the dating world despite his ongoing fame.
Rumors have recently connected Cruise romantically to Hayley Atwell, his co-star in Mission: Impossible, and then to Colombian pop singer Shakira. Still, there are doubts about these rumors’ veracity. Those who are excited to see Cruise with a new partner may be interested in learning the most recent rumors about his 36-year-old ex-wife, Elsina Khayrova.

Reportedly, Cruise and Khayrova were spotted together at a party in Mayfair, London, and looked to be best friends. The British citizen and former model Khayrova just divorced a business tycoon earlier this year. Her marriage came to light when, in 2022, she was forced to pay a large amount of £117,000 ($149,500) to a company that installed fountains in one of her and her ex-husband’s homes.
An insider at the event said that although Cruise was courteous, she turned down requests for pictures, which prompted the DJ to announce in Russian to the audience that Cruise would have liked not to be taken. The majority of the evening was spent dancing together between Cruise and Khayrova, which excited bystanders. Cruise was also seen having fun among a group of women at one point.
Tom Cruise has been married three times in the past. He was married to Nicole Kidman for eleven years, from 1990 to 2001, following his first marriage, which lasted from 1987 to 1990.
