The two got back together in 2021 after 20 years apart and tied the knot in August 2022 in Georgia after a quick elopement to Las Vegas.
But Jenny From The Block never seemed to slow down to let the love grow. However, he should have known she would be busy, as she has always said she loves to work.
The Bronx native spent a lot of time promoting her 2022 film Marry Me with events in Los Angeles and New York.
She co-starred alongside Owen Wilson in the love story and also had music to accompany it.
Next came Shotgun Wedding with Josh Duhamel, also in 2022. He worked hard to generate interest in that project which he also produced.
In 2023 he worked on La Madre.
But most of the work came from the momentum of This Is Me… Now and the documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told earlier this year.

There’s more: Lopez also filmed Unstoppable, Ben’s movie with his friend Matt Damon; the movie premieres in September in Toronto.
And she also filmed her upcoming movie Kiss Of The Spider Woman earlier this year.
He had planned a summer tour, but cancelled it to focus on his family.
The star’s work has taken her to New York City a dozen times in recent years and there have also been several trips to Europe and a stop in Dubai.

His mood swings didn’t help either.
Jennifer’s next move: promoting her film Unstoppable in Toronto.

Jennifer’s next step: she will promote her film Unstoppable in Toronto
A new report suggests Ben will be skipping the film’s glitzy red carpet premiere to avoid a potentially awkward public encounter with the singer/actress after she filed for divorce.
A source told the New York Post’s Page Six column that Jennifer will attend the screening on September 6, but Ben decided not to be there.
The Hollywood couple split in April after nearly two years of marriage, but kept their separation a secret until Jennifer filed court documents on August 20 (the date of their second wedding anniversary) confirming that the relationship was over.

An earlier report by the Daily Mail suggested that film bosses were pushing for the pair to appear together at the film festival to give ‘Unstoppable’ a publicity boost.
A source told the publication: ‘(Certain producers are) pushing the two to appear together at the Toronto premiere to create buzz for the film.’
Unstoppable isn’t the only film project the former couple has in the works: Jennifer recently wrapped filming Kiss of the Spider Woman, which was also produced by Ben’s company, Artists Equity.
The 55-year-old pop superstar was engaged to Hollywood actor Ben in the early 2000s, but the relationship ended shortly before they were due to tie the knot.
Also directing are JLo Beauty, left, and Delola, right.
They got back together in 2021 before tying the knot in two ceremonies in 2022: one in Las Vegas and one in Georgia.
The divorce filing came exactly two years after the couple’s extravagant second party on August 20, 2022. The divorce filing lists the official date of their separation as April 26, 2024.
A source previously told PEOPLE that Jennifer decided to file for divorce because she knows it’s time to “move on,” but she’s still very “sad” that the marriage is over.
The source explained: “(She knows) it’s time to move on” for a number of reasons… She’s very disappointed and sad, but Ben hasn’t given her any indication that he wants to continue their marriage. He hasn’t shown any commitment or interest in making their marriage work. It’s gotten to the point where she just needs to look after herself.”
