On Father's Day, Lopez shared a video featuring moments of herself and Affleck set to her 2002 song "Dear Ben," which is dedicated to Affleck.

"Happy Father's Day to the most caring, loving, affectionate, consistent and selfless Daddy ever. #HappyFathersDay my love," she captioned the post.

"This is the best time of my life," she said. "I love my career, but nothing is more fulfilling to me than being able to build a family with someone who I love deeply and who is just as dedicated to family and to each other as we can be. And I'm feeling incredibly blessed."
