How Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Past Could Have Played A Part In Rumored Relationship Woes
The two previously dated from 2002 to 2004. They called out their 2003 wedding but ended up going through with it nearly 19 years later after rekindling their relationship back in 2021. Lopez spoke about their previous relationship in her documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told.
“Ben and I, we broke up three days before our wedding,” Lopez says in her documentary. “We had a big wedding planned — 14 ushers and bridesmaids, and three days before we just crumbled under the pressure.”
“When her and Ben first broke up, it was catastrophic to her constitution, everything that she wanted from what she understood love to be. For that to not work, for the pressures to break it apart, it just spun her out,” Dave Meyers, who directed “I'm Real,” said in the documentary.
“For all those years it was really hard, because I didn't just feel like I lost the love of my life, I felt like I lost the best friend that I ever had,” Lopez agrees. “And I couldn't talk for so many years, and that was the hardest part.”
Both having public careers, JLo embraced the spotlight while Affleck has had a lowkey profile which made the two butt heads in the past.
“Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.’ Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of, like, you’re going to marry a boat captain and you go, ‘Well, I don’t want the water.’ We’re trying to learn to compromise,” Lopez said in the documentary.
However, the insider says that their compromise might not have been enough to better their relationship.
“They waited almost two decades to get back together, but in the end, they just couldn’t make it work,” the source explains. “They both said they’d matured and learned from their mistakes, but some of the bigger issues that tore them apart the first time remained the same.”
Affleck and Lopez have not spoken out publicly about the reports.
