Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially engaged — again.

The singer-actress, 52, and the occasional Batman actor, 49, are finally set to walk down the aisle as they have confirmed they are engaged again.

The duo originally dated in 2002 and got engaged in 2003 – but eventually split in 2004 in the face of increasingly intrusive and pressurized press attention.

But now JLo and Ben are finally becoming husband and wife after the American actor took a knee to ask the chart-topping beauty for her hand in marriage.

JLo herself announced the engagement in a short video via her fan newsletter On The JLo.

In one video clip, the star is seen gazing admiringly at a stunning green diamond ring and declaring, “You’re perfect.”

Oddly enough, in the video itself, Ben isn’t seen – but Jen looks utterly blown away by the new skirt she’s gotten.

She proudly shows the sparkling ring in the video – and the mother of two is visibly touched and fights back tears of joy.

The A-list couple were already rumored to have gotten engaged after Jenny was spotted with a huge ring on her wedding finger.

Suspicions were raised when the star was spotted shopping in LA with 14-year-old daughter Emme on Thursday.

While sources close to the star had told PageSix that they: “won’t be shocked if [Ben] had suggested again.”
