Jennifer Lopez: ‘This Is Me…Now’, Ben Affleck, and Love | Apple Music

When Jennifer Lopez wrote ‘This is Me...Then’ she had just met the love of her life: Ben Affleck. After much public scrutiny and an engagement ring, the two famously called off their wedding. Now, 20 years later, Jennifer Lopez is married to Ben and sitting down with Zane Lowe to discuss her upcoming ninth studio album ‘This is Me…Now’.
J Lo reflects on the conversation behind the title of the album 'This Is Me...Then', which spawned the hit "Jenny from the Block" and captured the chapter of her life where she met her soulmate. In a wide-ranging conversation, she discusses the uncanny experience of writing the future of her love story with Ben, feeling most musically inspired when she is in love, facing heartbreak publicly, and reuniting with the love of her life.
‘This is Me…Now’ is Jennifer coming from a healed perspective and wants to let people know how in love she truly is.

"If you at times like me lost hope, almost given up - don't. Because true love does exist" - as if JLo knew that I needed to hear this

Oh my goodness yes most vulnerable I ever seen her like this.

[@watermelon_leah]

Wow she said that for 18 years after breaking up with Ben she struggle to find true loved after they broke up the first time. So basically saying Marc Casper and Alex were not her true loved but it was always Ben was her true loved. I heart broke when she said I felt like I was dying when me and Ben break up and ended their engagement. Crazy now Jennifer back to her true loved. So cute that till this day Ben knows all the words to the songs from this me then.

[@allyssacook5350]

She's at her most vulnerable because she's getting tired of believing she has found "true love" just to realize that it's over. She's much older now so to be proven wrong yet again would be devastating to her. She's had multiple marriages where she felt she had found her "happily ever after"...only time will tell.

[@jayytorrez116]

Probably her most raw interview, she sounds like everything shes saying is being pulled straight from within her soul. She sounds like shes gonna cry at certain parts but not from sadness, from pure emotion. This is me… then was one of my fav albums ever produced so im so hype for this next one

[@gl3936]

Exactly. She got these moments were she wanted to break down in tears like if she is still in disbelief that her happily ever after came true and she’s really with the love of her life. This is the most honest raw interview she does, where she’s actually speaking from the heart.

[@lotion_laura]

This new album is a "need!" I love her albums!

[@GoblinsAreAGirlsBestFriend]

I don't know why I can't help but just warm up to her every time she speaks. Her answers just always seem really honest. She doesn't contribute anything to genetics or blessings or miracles or being God's favourite... she just tells you what she does to make things work in her life, whether it's related to work, doing stunts, family, love, beauty. Something about her is just really honest and genuine and it's really inspiring. She actually makes happiness and success look attainable. Of course some of it is luck, but never all of it. I kind of wish she'd talk more about her and Ben and how they know they're right for each other. As you get older, that becomes harder I think to define - what is 'the one', what is 'true love', when love has so many forms and shapes?

She needs to honestly recognize all the wrongs she took part of during her music career with Sony like how she assisted with Sabotaging Mariah and stole vocals from black singers... she should've formally apologized. Even though Mariah did say that was more courtesy of the musical director , she was still part of it and she still stole vocals and agreed with it.

[@kelyerose]

@@hyun808 if you are referring to Ashanti situation irv gotti has already addressed this in many interviews. Jlo didn't steal any music the song was given to diddy for jlo and diddy, irv and jlo never denied Ashanti doing the background vocals for jlo in that 1 song and Ashanti was paid for her involvement. In the music business songs are written and sold or given to the artist that is why some artist use ghost writers. People ( bc they dobt like jlo) are always trying to say jlo has stolen this song or is a diva but people that have worked with her or for her says she is the hardest working and nicest person that have ever met. How did she sabotage Mariah? You can't believe everything you read online.

She said she felt like dying when they broke up and struggled for 18 years to find love. There are many in Hollywood as well as athletes, high powered execs and other professions that can be financially successful but emotionally broke or depleted. She seems happy now as I have seen sadness in her eyes in the past in spite of all the trimmings. I believe she's worked hard to get where she is and she appears to be a giver.

Then in her book she said something about being so heartbroken others would drink and do drugs etc… (but she doesn’t drink we know and is very healthy) so she just rebounded with Marc to fill the void Ben left. Ben was always the one. I can’t even lie to you guys I broke up with my first love years ago but I always think about him a lot. My love for him is still there. So I totally relate to this.

[@soukainaelmountassir7882]

Through the years she really shows me how amazing she is as a woman, she really surprised me through her journey, I love her mindset, I love her determination and passion

[@SowingSeedsWithChristy]

Loved, loved, loved this interview! I remember seeing JLo perform with Marc Anthony in concert when she was pregnant with her twins (before she had announced her pregnancy). She is the consummate performer! Everything she did in this interview makes so much sense. She was fortunate to find her love of dance and music so early in her life. It's been a great focus for her and that big, open heart of hers, grounded in reality. I know what she means about keeping that little flame of hope alive for that ultimate dream of one's best life. I'm about to jump off towards my dreams, with the biggest belief in myself and my raw abilities. Wish me luck, JLo! I think YOU are my spirit animal!!! Lol! You inspire me to keep going! Thank you!

[@pedromarques3220]

This was such an awesome conversation. JLo deserves so much more credit than she does. Like Zane pointed out, if you listen closely to Then-Rebirth-LOVE?, all the journey she talked about here is evident and just shows how her heart has been in what she's done and the message she wanted to put out with each release.

Finally, we can see the humanity of JLo. Raw, purec honest, vulnerable, and still better than playing it up as “perfect”, always happy, and faking it for the cameras. We love to deeply connect with others because we’re all connected with ONE LOVE. Ahhh. The romantics are inspired and awakened once again. I’m so happy for them and hope that they commit and grow old together this time. ❤ Blessings to us all. ❤

Though I've only ever tangentially listened to her music, I am a huge fan of hers as a person and as an incredibly accomplished artist in so many fields. She's so powerful, can do it all, and still maintains her humility and integrity the whole way. I'm really rooting for her, her success and her happiness. What a powerhouse of an artist and person!

The tone in her voice is something I’ve never heard from her before. Being vulnerable is hard-not to mention with the entire world! So happy for you Jennifer and I hope you and Ben are together for a very long time ❤

[@geriatricmillennial4234]

She never really gets a chance to talk about the process of her music making. So many people underestimate her but she has made some catchy pop records. Her first 4 albums are truly a representation of her worth as an artist that got lost over time as she made more music. This upcoming album sounds like she has found that passion that drove her at the start of her career. Can’t wait to listen. 🤩

She is very hardworking and deserves recognition.

[@DeenaWoolfitt]

I truly hope that this story is so full of love and happiness and for once she has found the love of her life who can be faithful. I can’t help but wonder how long it will take before he cheats on her. His track record is not great. If he can stay sober and faithful then he deserves this second chance. But if he slips and can’t keep it in his pants then my heart will break for her. Every man she has tried to have a happy ending with has let her down. She’s a beautiful intelligent woman and doesn’t need any more heartache. How she has stood tall after everything she has gone through is beyond me. Money and fame are nothing compared to real love and security. Family is everything. She deserves to be happy and treated with love and kindness and spoiled with hugs and kisses from now on.

[@Ddiakova]

I grew up listening to her music and seeing her transformation into this amazing woman just inspires me to be like her in a sense that I too am a woman, I too am a mom, I too am a creator (although not musically) and I too love and am authentic with all my heart.

Marriage is work, but My mother who was married 4 times once told me, "Figure a way to work it out and don't do what I did because there is no perfect person and you just trade one problem for another.".
