NextImg:Jennifer Lopez’s mom ‘prayed for 20 years’ that she and Ben Affleck would reunite

She was never gonna give up.

Jennifer Lopez’s mom revealed Wednesday that she always knew her daughter would find her way back to Ben Affleck, 50.

While Lopez, 53, was interviewed by “Today” host Hoda Kotb, 58, Guadalupe Rodríguez sat off-camera with Savannah Guthrie for a private conversation they ended up sharing with the world.

“When you talked about Ben, what did you tell me?” Guthrie, 51, prompted Rodríguez, 77, to repeat herself for Kotb and Lopez to hear.

“I knew that you would always get back together because I prayed for 20 years,” Rodriguez claimed.

Guadalupe Rodriguez, JLo’s mom, revealed she “prayed for 20 years” that her daughter and the “Air” star would get back together.

“OK,” Lopez rolled her eyes, insinuating that this wasn’t the first time she’s heard that from her mother.

“Let’s keep going,” she then urged Kotb to shift the conversation back to business.

Lopez’s movie “The Mother” hits Netflix on May 12 — two days before Mother’s Day.

Her album “This Is Me … Now” is expected to drop this summer.
