“The song is out, five years since we’ve done it. And I believe that that message of loving one another and coming together and love, is never more relevant than it is right now,” Lopez said with a knowing smile.
Lopez, 51, and Affleck, 48, broke up in 2004, but they have been spotted together multiple times in the past few months in the wake of J. Lo’s April split from one-time fiancé former MLB star Alex Rodriguez.
Today co-host Carson Daly also rolled tape of Lopez speaking with Apple Music 1’s EBro about the renewed interest in her 2002 album This Is Me… Then album, which, not for nothing, was released when she was dating Affleck the first time. “The name of the album was This is Me… Then, right? That was a moment,” Lopez told EBro.
“And when you go back and you hear that, you hear the purity and the love there … and I think that’s why people went back as, you know, they saw different things happening in my life now and they go, ‘Wow. Really?’ And I think it gave people hope… that some things do last forever.”
