Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are set to tie the knot nearly one year after reuniting.



The American actress and singer announced their engagement in a short video she posted on her fan newsletter called ‘On The JLo.’ on Friday, April 8.



In the video, Jlo couldn't contain her excitement as she fought back tears while showing off her beautiful green engagement ring, saying, "You're perfect.".
The couple previously got engaged in 2002 but called it off after. They rekindled their love in 2021.



Affleck most recently showed support for his wife-to-be as Lopez accepted the Icon Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in March.



Lopez recently told PEOPLE what makes their connection different now compared to 18 years ago, saying, "We're older now, we're smarter, we have more experience, we're at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things."



The Marry Me actress, 52, shares 14-year-old twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Affleck, 49, shares three kids with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10.



"It's a beautiful outcome that this has happened in this way at this time in our lives where we can really appreciate and celebrate each other and respect each other," Lopez told PEOPLE. "We always did, but we have even more of an appreciation because we know that life can take you in different directions."



She added, "We have been in the game in the public eye long enough to know who we are as people and what really matters and what doesn't matter. We have kids and we respect each other. ... We really live our lives in a way we can be proud of and our kids can be proud of you. We're just operating from a place of love and respect for everyone in our lives and that is very important to us. We know what the truth is [and] we hold it sacred."



Lopez and Affleck previously began dating in July 2002 and got engaged that November before postponing their September 2003 wedding just days before the date. They later called off their engagement in January 2004.



In December, Affleck told WSJ. Magazine about feeling "lucky" to have been given second chances, both in his work and personal life.



"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," he said. "The one thing you really need to avail yourself of the opportunities provided from that growth is the second chance. I've definitely tried to take advantage of that. I haven't always been successful, but in cases in which I have, they've turned out to be the defining aspects of my life."
