Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck twin in black at premiere of her This Is Me...Now: A Love Story

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck attended the Los Angeles premiere of her This Is Me…Now: A Love Story at the Dolby Theatre on Tuesday night.

Derek Hough, America Ferrera, Fat Joe, and Xochitl Gomez are among the other celebrities who attended the red carpet debut on Tuesday.

Her new musical film, This Is Me…Now: A Love Story, is a musical and visual retelling of the real events. It is a sequel to her 2002 album This Is Me…Then. She wore an embellished black and silver strapless gown. The velvet bodice included a plunging V-neck that rested right above her waistline. Ben donned a black suit for the day.

The project, which included appearances from stars such as Trevor Noah and Jane Fonda, has been a long time coming for Lopez who revealed at a press conference last week that her real-life love story with Affleck pushed her to complete it.

“I was like, ‘I don’t write, I don’t do this.’ He was like, ‘You do, you write, you direct, you produce, you choreograph, you do all the things. Start stepping into that, start owning a little bit of who you are,’” she recalled Affleck telling her.

The couple married in July 2022, more than a year after rekindling their relationship. They first dated for two years in the early 2000s before calling it quits just days before their 2004 wedding.
