It seems like it was a long time ago that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were one of Hollywood’s favorite couples, right? this couple began their relationship in 2002, after meeting on the set of the film Gigli. The relationship was intense and they even had plans to get married in 2003, but then the ceremony was postponed for less than 4 days to be held due to excessive media attention. The following year, the couple separated.
Now, almost 20 years later, Ben Affleck is in a relationship with Cuban actress Ana de Armas and JLo has an engagement to Dominican Alex Rodriguez. The actor in charge of playing Batman in the DCEU referred to the separation and how the media eroded his partner.
“My relationship with Jennifer turned out to be the sensationalist story the media always needs to have. The story of the month. At this point, this business was growing exponentially,” she said in an episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast. “A lot of shit and violence was written about her in a way that if they wrote it now, they would literally fire you,” he added.
Affleck explained that she still maintains an excellent relationship with JLo and that they are great friends: “She is a very genuine person, I keep in touch with her periodically and I feel a huge respect. Now she is valued and respected for the work she does. she did, where she came from and what she got, and that’s how it should be! ” People were fucking sexist and racist with her. “
