Blink and you’ll miss him, but Ben Affleck appears in two key shots in the promo teaser for wife Jennifer Lopez’s new visual album, This Is Me…Now: A Love Story, available on February 16 on Prime Video. Dropping yesterday, the two-minute video begins with Lopez on the back of a motorcycle, wind in her hair. While we only get a glimpse of his profile, the man at the wheel sure does resemble Affleck. Toward the end of the trailer, which promises to take audiences on an “intimate” and “cinematic” musical journey, we catch a second peek.

“Whenever someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up,” Lopez says in a voiceover. “My answer was always in love." Cut to a shot of Lopez, in what appears to be a wedding gown, looking up at the groom, whose chin bears a very familiar scruff.

Other celebrities with more prominent roles in the video include rapper Fat Joe, playing her therapist, and Derek Hough as one of two other men Lopez marries in the clip. The end credits promise even more notable names when the full album drops, including Trevor Noah, Kim Petras, Post Malone, Keke Palmer, Sofia Vergara, and more.

“The story of the journey from then to now is the most personal thing I’ve ever done,” Lopez posted on X. “The musical experience continues February 16 when This Is Me…Now: A Love Story.

Fans will recall the song “Dear Ben” on Lopez’s 2002 album This is Me...The A-list couple had been set to marry in 2003 but called it off and eventually split in 2004. They reunited 20 years later, finally tying the knot in 2022. On the new album, Lopez has hinted that “Dear Ben” might have a sequel called “Dear Ben Part II.”
