Jennifer Lopez has released part two of the first official trailer for her upcoming album film, This Is Me…Now: The Film. And fans have been going wild over a particular part of the clip that seemingly features a sentimental letter.
Co-written by her husband, Ben Affleck, the snippet offers a brief glimpse of a letter the actor may have written to his now-wife in 2002.
“Life’s tough, but you’re sweet,” reads the note.
“Thanks for the gift. Hope you like the flowers. You told me you could never have enough. I believe you.”
Dated December 24, 2002, and signed with a simple “B”, the letter, which burns in the trailer along with others, is believed to be a replica of an actual note Affleck gave to Lopez when they first got together in the early 2000s.
The trailer shows Lopez, drenched from the rain, sitting in front of a fireplace and shedding tears over a box of letters, before diving into a montage of cinematic dance numbers.
“When I was a little girl, when someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer was always: in love,” the singer says in a voice-over.
This Is Me…Now: The Film will stream on Prime Video on February 16, 2024, and is set to delve into the singer’s storied love life. The name is a riff on her third studio album, ‘ This Is Me… Then’, which was released in 2002.
“This album is the most honest thing I have done, a culmination of who I am as a person and an artist,” she told Vogue last year.
“People think they know things about what happened to me along the way—but they really have no idea and a lot of times, they get it so wrong. There’s a part of me that was hiding a side of myself from everyone.”
Part one of the official trailer closes with Lopez’s quote explaining the film’s purpose.
“This musical experience is a manifestation through music, film, and reality, of a life’s journey on the search for the truth about love,” it reads.
Lopez, 54, and Affleck, 51, dated in the noughties and even got engaged before parting ways in 2004. The Argo director has since admitted that the heightened media frenzy around their relationship at the time caused much of the stress that led him to end things with Lopez.
They rekindled their romance in 2021 after Lopez split from athlete Alex Rodriguez and married the following year.
He also spoke with WSJ Magazine about his “second chance” with the pop star.
“I am very lucky in my life in that I have benefited from second chances, and I am aware that other people don’t even get first chances,” he said. “I’ve had second chances in my career. I’ve had second chances as a human being. Life is difficult, and we are always failing and hopefully learning from those failures.”
The couple share five children: Lopez with her ex-husband Marc Anthony and Affleck with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
