Lopez is ramping things up after keeping a low-profile while filming her Netflix movie The Mother in Canada since September.

Earlier this week she debuted On My Way in conjunction with the first official trailer for Marry Me, which is slated for a February 11 theatrical release.

Along with On My Way, the film’s official soundtrack is packed with original songs by the On The Floor hitmaker and Maluma. 

Marry Me’s first official trailer shows Lopez as Kat Valdez, who is set to wed boyfriend Bastian (played by Maluma) on stage in front of their fans to perform their hit song entitled Marry Me.

But when the diva learns minutes before the streamed wedding – which is supposed to be watched by 20million people – that her fiancé has cheated on her with her assistant, she goes out on stage anyhow and randomly tells math teacher Charlie Gilbert (played by Owen Wilson) that she will marry him instead. 

An unlikely romance forms between the pair in this modern love story about celebrity, marriage, social media and the search for something real in a world where value is based on likes and followers.

Marry Me also stars John Bradley (Game of Thrones), Michelle Buteau (Michelle Buteau: Welcome to Buteaupia) and Utkarsh Ambudkar (Mulan). 

Along with playing Marry Me’s leading lady, Jennifer produced the heartwarming film directed by Kat Coiro.

Feeling fine: Although Jennifer called off her engagement to Alex Rodriguez earlier this year, she isn't ashamed of doing what's best for her and insists she is 'really proud' of where she is today

Promoting the forthcoming film on the Today Show, Jennifer revealed that – despite being married thrice – she will always believe in ‘happily ever after.’

‘I don’t know, yeah, I guess. You know me, I’m a romantic. I always have been. I’ve been married a few times. Yeah, I still believe in happily ever after, for sure, 100 percent,’ she explained. 

Although Jennifer called off her engagement to Alex Rodriguez earlier this year, she isn’t ashamed of doing what’s best for her and insists she is ‘really proud’ of where she is today.

She said: ‘If you can’t laugh at yourself and just take it as it comes, I just don’t think about those things.

‘I feel like I’m a human being like everybody else. I’ve had my ups and downs, I’ve made mistakes and I’m really proud of where I’ve come to in my life and who I am as a person, as a mom, and as an actor and as an artist. So yeah it’s OK, everybody’s got that.’

Meanwhile, Ben – who Jennifer rekindled her romance with earlier this year after 17 years apart – recently admitted he is in ‘awe’ of the ‘Jenny from the Block’ hitmaker.

He gushed: ‘All I can tell you is that I have seen first hand the difference representation makes because I have seen, over and over and over and over, women of color approach Jennifer and tell her what her example as a strong woman and a woman succeeding and demanding her fair share in the business world means to them.’

Ben – who previously dated Jennifer between 2002 and 2004 – thinks the chart-topping star has inspired a huge number of Americans.

‘That is an effect few people throughout history have had, one I will never know and one I can only stand by and admire with respect.’

Ben and Jennifer are currently working on introducing their children, whom they share with Jennifer Garner and Marc Anthony, respectively, to each other.

A source previously spoke to Entertainment Tonight and told the media outlet that the couple’s children were ‘spending more and more time together’ and that they were getting along ‘great.’
