Jennifer Lopez just got sappy on main about Ben Affleck.
In honor of Father’s Day, Lopez paid tribute to her fiancé in not one, but two heartfelt posts. To start, Lopez (or whoever she hires to edit her Instagram videos) put together a slide show of photos and videos with Affleck set to the audio from a previous interview about their rekindled romance. “This is the best time of my life that I’ve loved my career but nothing is more fulfilling to me than being able to build a family with someone who I love deeply and who is just as dedicated to family and to each other as we can be and I’m just, I feel incredibly blessed,” Lopez says over the sweet slideshow, which can be watched here.
The Instagram post itself was captioned, “Happy Father’s Day to the most caring, loving, affectionate, consistent, and selfless Daddy ever.” Affleck shares three children from his previous marriage with actor Jennifer Garner, while Lopez shares 14-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Meanwhile, subscribers to her On the JLo newsletter were treated to an adorably candid video of Affleck teaming up with Emme to convince the Halftime star to purchase a Devon Rex cat. Spoiler alert: they were successful (watch the video here).

“I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what it is to be a father and I think it’s really about being there and caring, effort and time but more importantly, love and example,” Jennifer Lopez wrote in her newsletter. “As I have grown and become a parent myself and learned more about myself and others, I see the importance and profundity of a great father in one’s life and how the absence of it can cause deep lifelong wounds…”
Jennifer Lopez shared a sweet dedication to her own father before addressing her fiancé. “I have had a [front-row] seat to watching how you father for over a year now and I have never seen [a] more consistent, loving, and selfless father. And it’s not just to your own kids but also without obligation to mine as well,” she wrote of Affleck. “You show up and put them first always. You are affectionate and engaged in every moment they are with you and it’s honestly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Thank you for all you do for all of us. We appreciate and love you beyond measure.”
