Last year, one of the greatest love stories ever told came back around again when Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck reunited, 17 years after calling off their engagement.

Since reuniting, Bennifer has gone from strength to strength, confirming their second engagement in April of this year.

Next month, Jennifer will be the subject of a new Netflix documentary, Halftime, with Ben making an appearance in the first trailer, which dropped today (May 20).

Halftime follows Jennifer during some huge moments in her recent career, from playing the 2020 Superbowl Halftime show to the opening of her movie Hustlers.

The doc will also see Jennifer reflect on her past, including the time when reporter Billy Bush asked her: "How do you feel about your butt?" and the media's depiction of her as a "serial bride."

Scenes also showed Jennifer's disappointment in failing to receive an Oscar nomination for Hustlers.

As Jennifer struggles to be taken seriously in Hollywood and the media surrounding her being displayed in the clip, Ben is shown saying: "I said to her once, 'Doesn't this bother you?' And she said, 'I expected this.'"

Earlier this year, Jennifer opened up about what she's learned from her relationship with Ben the second time around.

"I would say we learned our lesson the first time," she told The New York Times. "To hold it sacred."

She continued: "You have to do what feels good to you all the time. But at the same time, you learn from the past, you do things better the second time.

"There's a part of it that, yes, we're together. But there's a part of it that's not, you know, being so open the way we were when we were so young and in love many years ago."

Halftime debuts globally on Netflix on June 14.

Zack Snyder's Justice League is out now on HBO Max in the US and Sky Cinema and NOW in the UK.
