Twenty years later Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have gotten engaged again.
On Friday night, the Marry Me actress announced via her On the JLo newsletter that she and Affleck are engaged.
The soon-to-be husband and wife rekindled their romance last year. This new development in their relationship comes 18 years after they called off their previous engagement back in January 2004.
A source tells PEOPLE they are “both thrilled about the engagement” and that Lopez, 52, and Affleck, 49, “wanted to make sure this is it.”
“Their relationship is different this time because they are older, more mature and able to deal with any obstacles,” the source says. “They are both taking their relationship very seriously. They want to make it work no matter what.”
Adds the insider, “They will not rush a wedding. They are content being engaged for now and aren’t talking about any wedding details yet.”
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.”
