“They had an old-fashioned car parked in front of the estate ready to take them away. J Lo was ecstatic and there were a lot of tears of joy and laughter. Her smile said it all,” the source added as per Elle.

Meanwhile, in the same trailer of the film, which is releasing on February 16, 2024, Lopez revealed, “When I was a little girl when someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer was always: in love.”

Vogue citing her reported, “She says that it will be the most honest work she has ever done.”

She also disclosed at the time that the album is “kind of a culmination of who I am as a person and an artist".

“People think they know things about what happened to me along the way, the men I was with—but they really have no idea, and a lot of times they get it so wrong,” Lopez noted.

The mother of two added, “There’s a part of me that was hiding a side of myself from everyone. And I feel like I’m at a place in my life, finally, where I have something to say about it.”
