- Celebrities. Ben Affleck's surprising whereabouts revealed as Jennifer Lopez ends their marriage
It was only a matter of time before Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's marriage came to an end. It was anything but abrupt, with several months of speculation and countless s of what was going in with their relationship.
But this week, Lopez finally filed for divorce in an official capacity. People want to know the exact reason that led to the split. There may not be one thing in particular, but fans have pinpointed a specific detail from Lopez's documentary, "The Greatest Love Story Never Told".
Ben Affleck wanted more privacy than J Lo did
Lopez openly shared a book that Affleck gifted her with love letters and communications from 20 years ago, when they were first in a relationship. She let coworkers read through it. Unsurprisingly, Affleck was not fond of something so personal being seen by others. When asked about that for the doc, Affleck had said it was ironic.
I did really find the beauty and the poetry and the irony in the fact that it's the greatest love story never told. And if you're making a record about it, that seems kind of like telling it.
When he was quoted, he seemed somewhat unhappy about the whole situation. One on Instagram noted that "you can hear the sadness in his voice".
With that context in mind, many have now come out to defend Affleck, pinning the blame on Lopez making their relationship so public.
- "I can't blame him. This was intimate, from his heart to her. Not cool."
- "Why would she not ask him first before displaying such personal things."
- "She has no idea how to live privately. If it's not on camera, it's not worth it. She needs help."
It's clear that Affleck and Lopez had different definitions of what a "private" life is.
