Twenty years after the release of “This Is Me… Then,” singer-actress Jennifer Lopez announced Friday that her follow-up album, “This Is Me… Now,” will be released next year.
The 53-year-old, who has deleted posts from her Instagram over the past few days, shared a video on social media in which she recreated the 2002 album cover, which shows her wearing a pink top and hat before transforming into herself. the present older self, constantly saying, “That’s me then…that’s me now.”
The 2002 album, which included the hits “Jenny from the Block” and “All I Have,” was inspired by Lopez’s relationship with actor Ben Affleck at the time. The couple, who went by the name Bennifer, got engaged but called off the wedding in 2003 and split months later.
They rekindled their romance last year and got married this summer.
In her Instagram post, Lopez listed 13 song titles from the new album, including one titled “Dear Ben pt. ll”.
