Jennifer Lopez REVEALS Why She & Ben Affleck Split Before 2004 Wedding

Twenty years in the making and using $20 million of her own money, this is Jennifer Lopez’s most personal project ever! She just dropped a new album, “This Is Me… Now,” and a cinematic musical experience, “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story,” which is loosely based on her own love story with Ben Affleck. Now, Jennifer is getting candid like never before in a new hour-long Apple Music interview with Zane Lowe. We’re breaking down the biggest revelations - starting with her breakup with Ben just three days before their wedding back in 2004!

[@risaandjesus]

Judging from this interview. Married couples who really work together and support each other really bring out the best in their partner. That’s what any relationship is about. Whatever reason Ben felt emotional about the lyrics to some songs it was also real of him to suggest the imperfect parts too. We all relate to that. I listened to the album and the lyrics and how Jlo sings it. U can tell she is singing from her heart. I already have favorite songs from the album. I like her movie too. That scenario that she sings and dances in the rain is just beautiful and nostalgic. I love that she mixes in old Hollywood glamour.

[@sbsk2526]

Her debut album only had 14,000 streams on Spotify, the lowest numbers in her entire career unfortunately

[@sbsk2526]

and her movie is ranked at 4.9/10 on IMDB

[@jansmith3158]

she is leaving out the part that she found out that he was having an affair with a stripper in a city that he was making a movie thats why she broke off their wedding/relationship. fast forward Ben cheated on his first wife with prostitutes and broke up his marriage. Jlo thinks he has changed.

[@lorigravelin2081]

How can she say she is ok alone? Wasn’t she still with ARod when she started seeing Ben again? I love JLo and I’m not judging but if she says she’s going to be honest, let’s be honest.

[@steffiekensley8743]

I was thinking the same. It was obvious after the alleged Madison Lecroy whispers, she and ARod were going to go their separate ways. JLo, like any self-respecting woman, just isn't going to tolerate infidelity but to say she was good on her own sounds like she's lying to herself. She and Ben were spotted just after the breakup with ARod. She has a pattern of moving on while still in a relationship so maybe she thinks because that one had somewhat officially ended before she and Ben met up in person, those few days alone, she considers being good on her own. But, I think she was talking to Ben during those few days, so it's still an overlap yet perhaps a cleaner one than the ones before. I think she wishes she could have been on her own so that's her story and she's sticking to it. Whatever helps her sleep are night, I guess. It's just those of us who've heard her say that repeatedly can see the words aren't a match to the reality and that's how a lot of folks get by - by creating their own narrative that feels good to them and makes them look strong to others.

What i can't understand is the need for using her marriage with ben as content... Kinda feels like she's the only one in the marriage who's still acting like a teenager... she's 55... I don't get it really... I hope this time for her sake it lasts..cos the breakup would be too embarrassing..lol

[@candycandy4254]

Todos son nuestras almas gemelas, hasta q llega el que se quedará en nuestra vejez ❤❤❤ bravo por Jlo ...ella vive , ama y punto ❤❤❤

[@mlmartin2922]

I also think all the Paparazzi then that never left them alone contributed to their breakup. There was a lot of pressure to live up to being the "perfect couple" that people wanted them to be. It is also true, sometimes you do need to be ok being on your own, and that's when you get rewarded with love. I wish them the best ❤

The answer is simple, Ben didn't wanted to marry he. She knows this, he went on to have a marriage, kids a successful productive life, of course until his demons got to him. Actions speak louder than words. She knows this, but that will not be so romantic, huh JLo.

[@geishaleen]

Jlo doesn't know what love is. When you truly love someone you do everything in your power to work out all the storms in your relationship you don't walk away no matter what. If you truly love each other like she talks about none of them would off have gone to other people to seek happiness and have kids with them because your heart will tell you don't give up on that person and keep fighting for that love. You be devoted to your true love. Just imagine your ex listening to you saying that you were in love with someone else who you consider your one true love while being with you that is a slap in the face to the father of your kids. If you never going to work out your marriage and honor each other don't bother going in front of God making promises that you know you are not going to keep to cherish one another, care for one another, and be with each other to death to apart thru the good and the bad. I am afraid of God to stand before him and lie to his face or break a promise before him with no remorse. I don't know how people can do it. Don't tell me that you don't believe in God obviously, people get married and have a priest for a reason at a wedding and make promises to each other before God. God takes marriages very seriously. For a marriage to work out you need God to help you and bless you because marriage is not a fairy tale is work and can be difficult at times. In a marriage, you going to have to put up with each other differences, and sometimes difficulty will arise but you forgive each other dedicate time to each other, and pick each other up when things don't go right. Jumping from one relationship to another seeking happiness is not true love is lust. True love is when you have God in your marriage helping you through all the storms and joys of your life. I wish her the best and lots of happiness but I also wish her to find God and help her realize that the source of true love is God who is actually a true love story who gave his life for all of us as a payment for our sins. She wants to talk about true love let's talk about Jesus and what he did for us out of pure love. Sorry JLO your love story is not as huge as Jesus' love story. Jesus' love story is the biggest ever told. He is our one true love.

[@shellyt1983]

Sometimes love isn’t enough. Enduring pain, suffering and betrayal may have been too much for JA to bear. Her first two marriages, she seemed to be too in infatuated or too impetuous. Her marriage to Marc ended because of his macho, controlling ways. He partied a lot, brought people home and stayed up late with them in their home. There were rumors of infidelity on his part. Arod was also unfaithful. Not many women will endure that treatment. Taylor Swiftly needs to read these suggestions. She lived with one man for 4 years. Within 2 weeks of their separation she was dating another man and now she’s living with another. She’s been with a lot of men and is still young enough to be with many more.

[@JLydia55]

Good thing, not everyone follows your unhealthy, repressive, outdated belief system eh?….. No, you don’t buckle down during the storm… when it becomes damaging to both individuals-this is how people murder their spouses….and this belief system is what triggers infidelity “can’t leave! I’ll be shamed! …but I’m so miserable, maybe I can cheat….” Hence, why it’s so unhealthy… Perhaps, our standards on when to get married are toxic too… People bitch about how much bs it is, if a man doesn’t put a ring on it and marry her after 3-5 years, my god…it takes at least that time….getting to truly know someone, and even THEN…. You really really don’t know with some people. Humans are so damn backwards… and it’s because too many of us search outside ourselves to be full filled, including or especially as far as relationships go; fyi….you do not get far with this method… you will be sorely disappointed.
