While promoting Lopez’s 2023 Netflix film, The Mother, Rodriguez was once unfit to hold back her excitement for her daughter’s unition with Affleck, and revealed she had appealed to God for it since their split in the mid 2000s. She claims that she prayed for 20 years and knew they would always get back together.

Lopez, who was taken aback by her mother’s comment, discussed it in an on-camera interview and admitted that she had never heard of it. She stated,

“It’s so funny, she never said that to me. We never spoke about it. She really loved him when we were together before, so maybe deep down, I don’t know.”

JLo has had a significant impact on the 51-year-old actor. In the year of their engagement, 2002, she released her album This is Me…Now. As a result, the songs talked about falling in love, but her most recent album, This is Me…Now, which came out in February 2024, talks about their relationship now after 20 years of separation.

JLo also delved into how she has been on an “incredible” journey for the past two decades that has helped her grow and changed her priorities because she is married and has a family.

The duo share a mixed family of the actor’s three kids with ex-Jennifer Garner, Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, and JLo’s twins with ex-Marc Anthony, Max and Emme.
