Jennifer Lopez has given intimate details about how Ben Affleck proposed.

The 52-year-old US pop star became engaged to the 49-year-old Armageddon actor over the weekend, 20 years after they were engaged for the first time.

The Hollywood couple reignited their romance last year – following Lopez’s split from ex-fiance Alex Rodriguez – with Lopez spilling all the details in a newsletter on her website, onthejlo.com.

“Saturday night while at my favourite place on earth (in the bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed,” the mother-of-two wrote.

She added: “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.’

She added: “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.”

Lopez also shared photos of the engagement ring, which is rumoured to have cost about $3.36 million.

“Green has always been my lucky colour and now, for sure, it always will be,” she added.

The pair were first engaged in 2002, but after massive attention from the media they postponed and eventually cancelled their 2003 nuptials.

Lopez called off the engagement in early 2004, and was married to singer Marc Anthony by June of the same year. The couple went on to have twins Max and Emme in 2008.

He married the actress in 2005 and they welcomed three children together — daughters Violet and Seraphina, and son Samuel — before they were divorced in 2018.

Lopez and Affleck made their rekindled relationship Instagram official in October.
