Continuing to talk about their rekindled romance, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck reveal the real reason behind calling off their first engagement.
During the documentary The greatest love story ever told Lopez revealed that she and Affleck broke up three days before their wedding in 2003. “We had a big wedding planned: 14 ushers and bridesmaids,” she recalled. “And three days before, we just crumbled under the pressure.”
Ben Affleck noted that the main reason behind his split from Jennifer Lopez was the “enormous amount of scrutiny surrounding” his private life.
The now-married couple said canceling their first wedding took them each on a journey of self-discovery. This trip eventually helped them cross paths again and they rekindled their romance in 2021. They got married in July 2022 in Las Vegas and had a big wedding in Georgia a month later.
“For all those years, it was very difficult because not only did I feel like I had lost the love of my life,” Jennifer Lopez said of her split from Ben Affleck. “I felt like I lost the best friend I ever had. And I couldn’t speak for so many years, and that was the hardest part.”
Lopez further admitted that she was angry with Affleck for quite some time. “But that heartbreak put us both on the path to discovering that we are better people.”
After her separation from Affleck, López married fellow musician Marc Anthony and had 16-year-old twins Max and Emme. Affleck married Jennifer Garner and they share children, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.
Lopez said she found peace after forgiving Affleck and herself for the problems they had in the past. “I feel like I came out the other side,” she added. “I did it. I have done something good with my life. “I’m proud of that.”
In addition to opening up about their 2003 breakup, Ben Affleck revealed why he wanted to avoid sharing details about his relationship with Jennifer Lopez on social media.
“Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a social media relationship,'” Affleck explained in the documentary. “Then I realized it wasn’t fair to ask. It’s like you were going to marry the captain of a ship and say, ‘Well, I don’t like water.'”
However, Affleck added that he decided to come to an agreement with Lopez about the situation. “We’re just two people with different types of approaches trying to learn how to come to terms.”
