Gallery: We're living our happily ever after! These stars have been together FOREVER! (BANG Showbiz)The 52-year-old performer - who shares 14-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex Marc Anthony - recently shared her belief that their second go at things will be better because they are “older” and “smarter” than they were in the 00s.

Jennifer said: "We're older now, we're smarter, we have more experience, we're at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things. " The ‘Marry Me’ star called the rekindled love she shares with Ben - who has daughters Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and son Sam, 10, with his ex Jennifer Garner - “a beautiful outcome”.

Jennifer said: "It's a beautiful outcome that this has happened in this way at this time in our lives where we can really appreciate and celebrate each other and respect each other.

We always did, but we have even more of an appreciation because we know that life can take you in different directions. " The ‘Hustlers’ star says that she and the ‘Gone Girl’ star are “operating from a place of love”.
