When Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez resumed their romance after 20 years apart, fans were shocked. They even integrated their families and had an opulent wedding and dream house purchase.
It was as if they had at last discovered their much-needed bliss. Notably, the couple called severe public scrutiny a key factor in their early 2000s breakup.
Although their reunion appeared to be an opportunity to move past their previous transgressions, new tabloid rumors indicate that their relationship is once again in trouble. Their fairytale seems to be coming to an end after only a few years. They have chosen to sell their dream mansion, and Ben has moved into his apartment while Jennifer looks for a new place to live.
What’s unexpected, though, is Jennifer Lopez’s part in their relationship’s demise. Lopez desired recognition and attention, while Affleck favored seclusion and secrecy. She even went so far as to make a documentary about herself in which she disclosed personal information about their relationship and included letters that Ben had sent to her.
He felt exposed to this violation of privacy and tired of his spouse’s narcissistic behavior. With speculation that Lopez could only adore herself and relish the thought of becoming a bride without being prepared for the obligations of marriage and parenthood, many are increasingly doubting Lopez’s actual intentions.
