The news was delivered via Lopez's newsletter, On the JLo, just a few days after fans noticed what looked to be an engagement ring in her recent photos.

Their romance began in 2002 after they met on the set of Gigli. They began dating soon after, then were engaged in 2003 only to break up in early 2004.

The two remarried and had kids with others, then both of those couples split, and it's believed that Lopez and Affleck got back together in May of 2021.

The two believe their relationship is different now.

As Lopez told PEOPLE, "We're older now, we're smarter, we have more experience, we're at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things."

She seems grateful for the chance to try again with Affleck.
