Resurfaced JLo clip proves she was always taking Ben’s name

The pair made headlines when they rekindled their relationship last year, almost 20 years after splitting up in 2004.

The Hustlers star confirmed their second engagement in April 2022.

JLo and Ben were first engaged in 2002 after meeting on the set of their film Gigli, while the singer was still married to her second husband Cris Judd.

And in a resurfaced clip from when they were first engaged around 20 years ago, Jennifer shared that she would be changing her name to Jennifer Affleck.

The video comes from an interview with Access Hollywood when interviewer Pat O'Brien asked her what her name will be after she's married.

"Jennifer Lopez, but my name will be Jennifer Affleck, obviously," she tells him, explaining her maiden name will still be used as her stage name, but she'll take Ben's last name as her legal name.

"So what will your stationary say?" he asked, with the singer quickly responding, "Jennifer Affleck."

The pair then joked that the singer's nickname would be "J.Aff", with JLo joking, "It doesn't have quite the same ring to it!"
