And having a second chance at happiness with her old flame has restored the actress and singer’s faith in true love.

“I had wondered my whole life as a hopeless romantic: ‘Does true love exist?’ I’ve had my heart broken; I’ve been through three divorces,” Jennifer said last week. “I realised I actually believe that true love does exist. But there was this journey of the 20 years in between that led me back to this place.”

Reuniting with Ben, 51, didn’t just bring joy into her personal life – it also heralded a new chapter of Jennifer’s career by sparking her most personal music project to date. “What came first, very plainly, was that Ben and I got back together,” said the Jenny from the Block hitmaker of creating her new album This is Me… Now, which is out on Friday.
