Jennifer Lopez, a multi-talented superstar in film, TV, dance, and music, is set to embark on her most ambitious project yet with “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story.” The Prime Video original film integrates songs from her upcoming album, weaving a semi-autobiographical narrative. Playing herself, Lopez navigates the highs and lows of her love life in this eagerly awaited project, years in the making and soon to be released.
This Is Me…Now: A Love Story: Release Date
“This Is Me…Now: A Love Story” is set to debut on Prime Video on Friday, February 16, coinciding with the release of Jennifer Lopez’s latest album of the same name. Both the film and the album serve as a continuation of her 2002 record, “This Is Me…Then.” Since the iconic “Jenny From the Block” era, Lopez’s life has seen significant changes, both professionally and personally. Notably, her engagement to Ben Affleck during that time captured headlines. Although they parted ways in 2004, they rekindled their relationship years later and eventually married in 2022, a moment that completes a full circle in Lopez’s journey, addressed in both the Prime Video musical and her new album.
