Jennifer Lopez, don’t be fooled by the rock she’s sporting these days. It’s more than just a shiny piece of jewelry. It’s from her hubby, Ben Affleck, and it tells a tale that’s deeper than the ocean.
The “Jenny from the Block” singer has had her fair share of heartbreak. She was engaged to Oscar winner Affleck in the early 2000s, but they split before they could say “I do”.
So, what was the deal with their first go at love?
J.Lo spills the beans in her new documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told. “Ben and I, we called it quits three days before our wedding,” she confessed. They had a grand wedding in the works, with 14 bridesmaids and ushers. But, alas, they buckled under the pressure.
Affleck chimed in too. He revealed in the Amazon Prime doc that their private life being under the microscope was the culprit behind their breakup.
But, here’s the twist. The couple agreed that their initial split was a blessing in disguise. It set them off on a journey of self-discovery. And guess what? Their paths crossed again.
Fast forward to 2021, and they’re back together. They made it official in a Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022. But that wasn’t enough. They had a second, grander wedding in Georgia the next month.
And that, folks, is the story of J.Lo and Ben Affleck. A tale of love, loss, and finding each other again.
