Lifetime’s Voices of a Lifetime is back and begins this weekend with Mary J. Blige’s “Family Affair” film. Films on artists Lisa Lisa and Gloria Gaynor will also premiere at later dates on the network.

“Family Affair” is executive produced by Blige, alongside Jordan and John Davis. Inspired by Blige’s hit single the film continues the love story of Kendra and Ben, first introduced in Blige’s “Real Love” and “Strength of a Woman” movies.

The film picks up as Kendra (Ajiona Alexus)and Ben (Da’Vinchi) move out of the city in hopes of finally building a life together. 

With all their family around and inserted in their lives, tensions rise as they struggle with fertility issues and Kendra tries to find her footing with Ben’s son Miles.  Their relationship reaches a boiling point when Ben secretly helps his brother, and Kendra returns to the city and an old friend comes back into her life.

The family must come together to help Kendra and Ben save their relationship and stay true to their real love.  

“Family Affair” will premiere on Jan. 25, at 8 p.m C.
