‘I prayed for 20 years’: Jennifer Lopez’s mom knew actress would find her way back to Ben Affleck

Mothers always know what is best for their child. Likewise, Jennifer Lopez’s mother was very confident that she would return to Ben Affleck. As Jennifer Lopez is all geared up for the release of her upcoming movie “The Mother,” a recent conversation of hers on NBC’s “Today” show is making the rounds on social media. On Wednesday, Lopez and her mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez, discussed the singer’s rekindled relationship with Affleck on the show. “I knew you would always get back together because I prayed for 20 years,” Rodríguez then told Lopez during the interview.

In response, Lopez playfully rolled host Hoda Kotb’s eyes and jokingly said, “Let’s keep going”. Lopez and Affleck’s relationship after their 2021 reunion is the subject of her new album, “This Is Me…Now,” which Lopez alluded to earlier in the conversation.

“I’ve had an incredible journey through my life in the last 20 years and I think I’ve grown a lot,” said the “Waiting for Tonight” singer. “I think the albums are really about capturing those moments in time. I captured that moment in time in the ‘This is Me… Then’ album of falling in love with the love of your life. And that moment 20 years later, trying to capture what this moment was.”
