For Jennifer Lopez, 2022 was not just good, it was "phenomenal."
In an interview with the American television network NBC on Monday, the singer and actress revealed that she had experienced "the best year since my children were born" because of the marriage to Ben Affleck and moving into a house with the offspring from previous relationships.
"It's been an emotional transition, but at the same time, all of our dreams have come true," Lopez said.
The 53-year-old New Yorker and Affleck, three years her junior, married a few months after getting engaged last summer.
The Grammy winner ("Let's Get Loud") and the Oscar winner ("Argo") reunited in early 2021.
The couple, also known as Bennifer, had already invited to their wedding in Santa Barbara, California, for September 2003.
A few days before the wedding, the bride and groom unexpectedly canceled.
Lopez married singer Marc Anthony five months later, with whom she had twins Max and Emme in early 2008.
Affleck married actress Jennifer Garner a year after their split.
Their children, Seraphina, Violet and Samuel, now commute between Garner's home in Brentwood, an upscale neighborhood in Los Angeles, and the mansion in neighboring Bel-Air that Affleck shares with Lopez.
