Guests arrive to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's wedding celebration

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are set to tie the knot during an extravagant three-day celebration at Affleck's sprawling estate in Riceboro, Georgia.

Jennifer Lopez felt her heart was going to shatter into a million pieces after her breakup with Ben Affleck nearly two decades ago.

During an interview with Apple Music One, the "Let’s Get Loud" singer opened up about her relationship with the "Batman" actor and recounted their split after their first engagement in 2004. 

"It was the biggest heartbreak of my life and I honestly thought I was going to die," Lopez shared.

The two ended up calling it quits two years after the album was released. The "On the Floor" singer reflected on the fallout, noting it was extremely "painful" and that she "wouldn’t even perform" any of the songs from "This is Me…Then."
