While most see his adoration as sweet, others not only found the 40-second clip awkward to watch but also struggle to witness their public displays of affection.

Turns out, Lopez doesnโ€™t mind if fans donโ€™t see eye to eye with her and Affleckโ€˜s public kissing parade.

Speaking on Heart FM radio, the Marry Me star revealed that she actually feels the opposite toward PDA, admitting that sheโ€™s โ€œall about itโ€.

Appearing alongside her costars Owen Wilson and Maluma on the radio show, she explained that she has โ€œno problemโ€ with showing off her relationship for the world to see.

โ€œI love public displays of romance,โ€ she told the hosts. โ€œI donโ€™t know if I would love a proposal, I think that thatโ€™s a more intimate thing between two people. But I have no problem with PDA, like people say, I actually, Iโ€™m all about it! If you really feel it.โ€

As for why she believes proposals should be kept to a more private setting, Lopez called the milestone a โ€œsacredโ€ and โ€œintimateโ€ event that should be just between the two involved.

โ€œI do think that a proposal is kind of a sacred intimate thing, that should just be between two people, when youโ€™re about to pledge your lives to each other, thatโ€™s a big deal.โ€

โ€œI think itโ€™s always nice when itโ€™s just making it about you, and the person you want to be with, those are those times when itโ€™s not about like the big public thing.โ€

The 52-year-old musician went on to explain that PDA-filled moments should just be seen as โ€œtwo people connectingโ€, whether that be through being in public or away from cameras to be like โ€œregular peopleโ€.

โ€œItโ€™s just about two people connecting, going away taking walks, being somewhere,โ€ she said.

โ€œFor me, being in the public eye, being somewhere where thereโ€™s not going to be a lot of cameras, where we can kind of trick the paparazzi and just have a quiet beautiful moment together.โ€

โ€œWe just get to be regular people and talk about life and be together and enjoy each otherโ€™s company, that to me is very romantic.โ€

Lopezโ€™s take on PDA comes mere weeks after she opened up about her โ€œsecond chance at loveโ€ with Ben Affleck to People magazine.

โ€œI feel so lucky and happy and proud to be with him. Itโ€™s a beautiful love story that we got a second chance,โ€ she told the publication.

As Bennifer fans would know, the pair dated between 2002 and 2004, even getting engaged before they officially split.
