Jennifer Lopez has opened up about how the proposal from Ben Affleck went down — and it’s even romantic than you might have imagined!
In an update to fans via her On The J.Lo newsletter, the songstress revealed the Argo star popped the question while she was soaking in the tub.

She wrote:
“Did you ever imagine your biggest dream could come true?
Saturday night while at my favorite place on earth (in the bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed. I was taken totally off guard and just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again, I was quite literally speechless and he said, ‘is that a yes?’ I said YES of course that’s a YES.
I was smiling so big and tears were coming down my face, feeling so incredibly happy and whole. It was nothing fancy at all, but it was the most romantic thing I could’ve ever imagined…just a quiet Saturday night at home, two people promising to always be there for each other. Two very lucky people. Who got a second chance at true love.
Green has always been my lucky color and now, for sure, it always will be.”
Awww!!!
In a video accompanying the newsletter, the Marry Me star admitted the proposal was “totally unexpected.” She told fans:
“My love came in, Ben came in and he got down on one knee and he said some things that I’ll never forget and he pulled out a ring and he said, ‘Will you marry me?’ And it was the most perfect moment.”
Sounds like it!
The superstar expanded on the special meaning behind the green diamond in her engagement ring, revealing:
“[Green is] my favorite color; it’s my lucky color. Obviously, it’ll be my lucky color forever now.”
J.Lo went on to share that she’s feeling “so lucky” for this second act in her love story with Ben, adding:
“It’s not often you get a second chance at true love. I feel very lucky. I love him.”
Ben himself then made a surprise cameo from behind the camera, telling his lady love as she gazed at him adoringly:
“I love you, too.”
The On The Floor hitmaker signed off the video by singing Chapel of Love by The Dixie Cups — presumably making every one of her newsletter recipients spontaneously combust from a cuteness overload.
So happy for them!
