The love story of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck taught us at least that even from the notorious “Hello, are you sleeping?” Something sensible might come out of your ex. While we were laughing and throwing ex-boyfriends into the ban, Jen gave Ben a chance and in the end not only managed to build a happy relationship, but also married him the second time. The singer spoke about how difficult it was to start all over again and why the lovers actually broke up in the distant 2000s in a fresh interview with Variety.
According to J.Lo, she and Ben had to separate for some time (to be more precise, for a long 17 years) to sort themselves out. By the time of their first failed wedding, both she and he had become confused and lost themselves; the relationship had already been destroyed – “under the weight of pressure.”
Having reunited with her lover, the singer was faced with a past trauma that interfered with the renewed romance. “You have behavior patterns that you haven’t realized yet. And you enter into relationships in which you compromise yourself in ways you never imagined. Or you allow people to treat you in ways you didn’t think possible before… And that definitely happened to me,” Jennifer shared. However, after a while, the singer looked at Affleck and their relationship from the other side – and as a result, she managed to discover new feelings for herself.
To be honest, we are very happy for Ben and Jen! We have no idea what we would do without their photos together , which have long become a meme. Well, or without the luxurious advertising of donuts at the 2024 Super Bowl, in which Affleck founded a boy band and sang for his wife. If you haven’t seen it yet, watch the video here .
