Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck showed up front, flashing bright smiles on pre-Valentine’s Day date night.

The loved-up couple graced the red carpet together on her This Is Me…Now: A Love Story premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

People reported that the two stepped out on Tuesday night, joined by other fellows on the red carpet, including Derek Hough, America Ferrera, Xochitl Gomez, and Fat Joe.

This Is Me…Now: A Love Story is a visual reimagining of the life events that inspired Lopez’s upcoming album This Is Me…Now, in a musical presentation.

Notably, the forthcoming album will be marked as a sequel to her 2002 album This Is Me…Then.

Earlier in a press conference on Thursday, February 8, the Marry Me star revealed how Affleck, 51, encouraged her to discover herself outside the singer persona and step into the acting landscape.

"I was like, 'I don’t write, I don’t do this.' He said, 'You do, you write, you direct, you produce, you choreograph, you do all the things,'" Lopez said.

"Start stepping into that, start owning a little bit of who you are," the Shotgun Wedding actress recalled her husband helping her quash doubts during production.

She further revealed at the conference that the project depicts her real-life love story with the Daredevil actor.

Lopez and the Hypnotic star first dated each other for two years in the early 2000s, before calling it quit just days before their wedding in 2004.

However, they rekindled their love in 2021 and the couple tied the knot in 2022.
