When Jennifer Lopez reunited with her former fiancé Ben Affleck after almost two decades, more than a few wondered: "What is she doing?!" Her fans hoped that she was not subjecting herself to more heartbreak; her detractors mocked her for thinking this time would be any different.
But Lopez knew exactly what she was doing. "We've both grown," she said in a Rolling Stone profile, just a few months before marrying Affleck. "We're the same, and we're different. And that's what's nice. Having a second chance at real love – we learned a lot. We know what's real, what's not real. So, it's just — the game has changed."
