Jennifer Lopez thought she was "going to die" after breaking up with Ben Affleck.
The Jenny from the Block songstress, 53, and the Hollywood actor, 50, went their separate ways back in 2004 before later rekindling their love.
She describes the ordeal as "so painful" as the couple called off their planned wedding 20 years ago.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 about her new album 'This Is Me... Now', she said: "Once we called off that wedding, it was the biggest heartbreak of my life."
"I honestly felt like I was going to die," the chart-topping Marry Me hitmaker said.
She told Zane: "It sent me on a spiral for the next 18 years where I just couldn’t get it right.
"But now, 20 years later, it does have a happy ending. It has the most ‘would never happen in Hollywood’ ending."
Jennifer and Ben reconnected only last year when JLO confirmed that they were engaged, as she showed off her huge diamond ring.
After their 20-year split, Ben and Jennifer didn’t waste any more time and were barely engaged for a few weeks before they took a trip to Las Vegas to get married.
The couple had a second ceremony in August, where they hosted a lavish celebration attended by family and close friends.
It comes after the revelation that Jennifer will pay tribute to Ben on her new album. In her first new album in eight years, she will sing once again about her Hollywood husband.
She made the shock album announcement earlier this week as she came back to social media, sharing the track list with followers.
Fans were quick to notice 'Dear Ben pt. II' amongst the list of songs in her new album, rushing to the comment section to share their excitement.
The title makes reference to the 'Dear Ben' ballad from JLO's 2002 album when she first began dating the Academy Award-winning film star.
One fan commented: "DEAR BEN PART 2 I’M ON THE FLOOR!! YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT." While another said: "Dear Ben part 2 OMGGG I’m gonna cryyyyy."
"NOT DEAR BEN PT 2," penned a third. "Can I please get a 'dear Ben' video ?" asked another as the excited fans praised JLO ahead of her big release.
This Is Me... Now will be Jennifer's first studio album in eight years, after she released A.K.A in June 2014.
The new release will follow the emotional and psychological journey she has taken over the past two decades and will be unlike any album she has produced before.
