Friends of Jennifer Lopez claim that Ben Affleck does not possess the type of “big love” that Lopez believes in. She also drops a surprise regarding her documentary.
Even after they were married, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship wasn’t perfect. Even though the ex-couple’s marriage to each other despite all odds was widely celebrated, it wasn’t meant to be. Two years after they got married, the turbulent love story of the Jersey Girl costars ended in divorce, and JLo was the one who stood up for what she believed in.
The singer of “Jenny on the Block” filed for divorce from the director of Air earlier this week, citing irreconcilable differences as a factor in their failed union. Citing April 26 as their date of separation, she carried out the act alone. Her friends have once more discussed why it all occurred now that the couple has parted ways following months of upheaval and an awful but expected conclusion. Their stories say that JLo is not at fault.
What are Jennifer Lopez’s friends saying now – after the Ben Affleck divorce
One of the singer’s friends told PageSix, “She loves him, she will always love him, that’s the problem,” maintaining that despite being separated from Ben for months, the Marry Me star gave it her best to try to repair the sinking ship. Lopez also pushed to remove the “Affleck” from her last name, thus it appears that she has moved on from that period of her life.
According to a Hollywood insider, Jen “truly believed she was finally getting her chance at the fairy tale, and this was the greatest love story she’d ever known.” The Gigli costars’ 2022 wedding was twenty years in the making, having broken off their first engagement in the early 2000s and then reuniting twenty years later. Regarding Affleck, the insider stated, “She just really didn’t stop to consider who the actual man was [in] the fairy tale.”
The source even went so far as to say that [Ben’s] DNA does not include the type of “big love Jennifer believes in.”
Ben Affleck’s ‘darkness’ becomes a hot topic
“There is a darkness within Ben that no one else can resolve. They continued, “All the success in the world and Jen Garner couldn’t cure it.
In the person’s account, the “On the Floor” sign threw all she had—her entire heart—into this romance.She was prepared to go above and above to “make this work.” She was told “this was a bad idea, that it was doomed, that there was a reason it didn’t work the first time” by “countless naysayers,” but the insider claimed that Lopez “didn’t want to believe it – she truly believed love would conquer all.”
It is reported that while filming Gigli in 2002, Ben and Jen first became together. Lopez was then wed to her second husband, Cris Judd. She tried her hand at love with Affleck after her divorce, and they went public. Fast-forward to the next year: on September 14, 2003, they were set to tie the knot, but in the last days before D-day, everything went apart. Four months after they originally postponed the ceremony, they broke up.
The remarks made by Lopez’s friend on Ben’s “darkness” are similar to those made by Jennifer Garner following her divorce from Affleck in 2018. Vanity Fair was told by the 13 Going on 30 actress that “he’s just a complicated guy.” “You feel it when his sun shines on you, as I always say.” However, it is frigid while the sun is shining somewhere else. He has a huge shadow.
Ben Affleck can’t ‘give himself over completely to another person’
Furthermore, according to the Hollywood source, Ben “doesn’t dislike this side of himself.” What is this “side”? “The side that needs time alone, that feels no one can ever really understand him, and that is certain that he is the only person he can rely on and his only ally.”
After more investigation, the insider revealed that while Affleck participated in Lopez’s “sort of all-consuming devotion,” “it’s just not who he is.”
Despite his pride in being his children’s defender and provider, he has never given himself over totally to anybody else and it seems that he never will.
Bombshell about Jennifer Lopez’s documentary: She didn’t want to do it
As her admirers may remember, Lopez earlier this year published a number of projects laced with her own personal reflections on love, and she eventually faced criticism for them all. Page Six has learned, however, from sources that Ben Affleck’s company Artists Equity actually pitched one of these projects, which is the documentary “The Greatest Love Story Never Told” and her other film “This is Me… Now,” which was released in a boxed set along with her first studio album in ten years. According to reports, JLo was too busy with her album and Amazon original project to pursue the documentary. The Accountant actor’s production company is also said to have funded and produced the documentary.

The book appears to be singing a different song on every page. Although Lopez has a nice heart, an apparently separate source who has known the singer for decades claimed that she “blew it with having to be ‘J. Lo'” and that she was “thirsty for attention.” The same individual thought Affleck genuinely cared for her.
Benny Medina, Jen’s longtime manager, had a quarrel with the actor-producer, though. The “Dance Again” singer has to take control of Jennifer’s life and “stop letting others run it for her,” according to Medina, who said that “Benny has a stronghold on her life.”
The first insider also made a crude comment regarding Ben Affleck’s performance, saying that even if the actor “thought he could go along to get along,” people “just don’t work that way for the long haul.” The Batman actor appears to be aware that Lopez “gave it her all, not just for him but for his kids, too,” and he expresses “feeling bad for the pain caused.”
In the coming days, when this most recent insider tip disappears, there could be another one emerging. Thus, things have been going since this chat began to stir up rumors of Bennifer 2.0’s divorce a few months ago. It doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon.
