Jennifer Lopez gushes over her 'best year' following marriage to Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez has gleefully discussed her "phenomenal year" which saw her eventually marry Ben Affleck.

The pair reunited after almost two decades apart and tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Las Vegas in July - much to the delight of the hit singer.

J-Lo, 53, opened up on the "emotional transition" the pair went through as they moved in together and became a bigger part of each others' kids' lives.

The Shotgun Wedding actress spoke to Today about the best year since her kids were born and said: "We moved in together, the kids moved in together, so it's been like a really kind of emotional transition.

"But at the same time… all your dreams coming true, it's just been a phenomenal year. Best year, I think, since my kids were born."

The Jenny from The Block singer shares 14-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex Marc Anthony, while Batman star Ben, 50, is dad to Violet Anne, 17, Seraphina Rose, 13, and Samuel, 10, from his marriage to Jennifer Garner.

J-Lo was speaking alongside co-star Josh Duhamel who joked to her that he has "probably loved [Affleck] longer than you have".

She quickly responded: "I bet you have, he's dreamy. I get it."

And continuing the Ben love-in, Josh quipped back: "He's a dreamboat, he's talented… but I don't want to get into my relationship with Ben right now."

J-Lo's words echo her sweet Instagram reel from just before the new year rung in. In the upload on December 31, the star shared a number of clips and never-before-seen snaps of the pair from the year she labelled "one of the best years yet".

She wrote: "I cannot wait for all that's to come next year ... #HappyNewYear #ImJustGettingStarted #WaitingForTonight #ThisIsMeNow."

Among her favourite moments added to her upload, she showed of her wedding to her beau and a number of behind-the-scenes photos from their second wedding in August 2022.

The duo rekindled their romance in April 2021 and got engaged a year later. Away from her relationship, she recently confessed her youthful look as down to her immaculate skin care and makeup routine.

Speaking to Vogue, she lit a candle, part of her process, and explained what she sees as the secret to staying young. In her tips, she included using sunscreen, cleansers and getting sleep.

"I am in perfect health always, she said. "My family is in perfect health always. I am youthful and timeless at every age. My life is full of abundance, joy and love."
