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

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

In response, Lopez gave host Hoda Kotb a playful eye roll and said, “Let’s keep going,” in jest. The relationship between Lopez and Affleck after their reunion in 2021 is the subject of her new album, “This Is Me… Now,” which Lopez hinted at earlier in the conversation.

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