Jennifer Lopez and her husband "Justice League" actor Ben Affleck indeed found their match when they rekindled their romance, and their love for each other shows in their faces every time they are together.

Recently, the "Marry Me" singer posted a cute video of herself sitting on her husband's lap with their faces snuggled together. The seconds-long video showed Lopez and Affleck smiling toward the camera and ended with Affleck chewing gum.

It took the pair 20 years to finally be together after their broken engagement in the early 2000s, and they seem more in love than ever, with the mood heightened by the background soundbite of a child saying: "I did it! I found the person that makes me the happiest I've ever been."

"Love to see them together... I adored them as a couple 20 years ago. They are so lovely together. I wish them all the best."

Another fan noted that true love does exist, while another shared that Lopez and Affleck deserved all the happiness they were experiencing.

What Changed after Their Wedding?

Lopez and Affleck's love story began decades ago when the two dated and even got engaged in 2002. The pair first met when Lopez was still married to her second husband, Cris Judd, and the two became excellent friends.

But soon after, "The Wedding Planner" actress divorced her husband, and she and Affleck got together, becoming public in the summer of 2002. Affleck proposed to Lopez that November with a six-carat diamond engagement ring. Their romance was, without a doubt, headed for the alter.

Unfortunately, their September 2003 wedding was postponed due to public attention. And in January 2004, they confirmed they had split up. Months later, Lopez married Marc Anthony and welcomed twins, while Affleck also moved on and married Jennifer Garner in 2005 and had three children.

However, fate had other plans in store for them. After years of being apart, destiny threw them back together again. In April 2021, publications started reporting that Lopez and Affleck were repeatedly spotted spending time together.

And to everyone's surprise, Lopez announced their rekindled relationship as Instagram-official in July 2021. A year later, they eloped and had a private wedding in Las Vegas followed by a lavish honeymoon in Paris. Later, they celebrated their wedding with a three-day ceremony in Georgia in August.

Much has changed since, one being Lopez's name. She now prefers to hyphenate her name to Jennifer Lopez-Affleck, something she considers traditional and romantic. She says that while many people feel differently about her becoming Mrs. Affleck, she loves going by the name. She added:

"It still carries tradition and romance to me, and maybe I'm just that kind of girl."

Marrying Affleck meant Lopez would become Affleck's children's stepmom, a role she takes very seriously. Since before their July wedding, Lopez was spotted severally bonding with Affleck's children, including shopping, lunch outings, and strolls about town with the girls.

This new relationship also meant that Garner and Lopez could bond over their new shared responsibilities of raising the kids. The two Jennifers have reportedly been bonding as they co-parent and have formed a good relationship. An insider told Us Weekly:
