The actress and singer, 51, appeared virtually on the Today Show alongside Lin-Manuel Miranda to discuss the re-release of their charity single "Love Make the World" to benefit the onePulse Foundation. The track was first released in 2016 in honor of the victims of the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando. "It's the five-year anniversary of the Pulse tragedy, so we figured on the anniversary to rerelease the single, which we really released out of a desire to do something in the face of this tragedy," Miranda, 41, said, recalling performing the song with Lopez at the time. While promoting the single's re-release, Today co-host Hoda Kotb told Lopez that she noticed she looks a lot happier in recent photos of her rekindled relationship with Ben Affleck. She then asked the singer to confirm or not, saying, "Are you happier?" before Lopez dodged the question like an expert. "The song is out, five years since we've done it. And I believe that that message of loving one another and coming together and love, is never more relevant than it is right now," Lopez said with a smile.
