The famous celebrity couple, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, loudly renewed their relationship last year after 20 years of separation. They proved that true love always has a second chance. But only recently Jennifer spoke in more detail about some of the details of their separation and reunion.





Ben Affleck and JLo met in 2002 on the set of the film Gigli, where they played the main roles. They started dating, and quickly became one of the most talked about couples in the celebrity world. The couple even planned a wedding, but soon broke up. According to Jennifer, who recently opened up in an interview, their perfect romance was "ruined" by the public attention they faced at the time.

"When Ben and I were together, we loved each other so much. It was one of the happiest periods in my life. But at the same time, many people discussed and criticized us - it literally destroyed our relationship from the inside. We were too young then, to understand what's really important in life," Lopez told Rolling Stone.



In 2004, right before their planned wedding, they separated. According to Jen, breaking up with Affleck was difficult for her: her “heart was broken” and she “felt like she could die.” But after the breakup, she quickly married actor and singer Marc Anthony - this happened just five months later. They had twins in 2008, but separated in 2011. Meanwhile, Ben married actress Jennifer Garner a year after splitting from Lopez; their marriage produced three children, but they announced their separation in 2015.

“When we canceled the wedding 20 years ago, it was the biggest pain in my life. It seemed to me that I would die. For the next 18 years, I simply could not find a place for myself. But now, 20 years later, this story still has a happy ending. the end," Lopez said.



And in 2021, Ben and J. Lo shocked the public - they resumed their relationship after 20 years of separation. The following April, Jen announced that she and Ben were engaged again, and they married in July 2022. However, in a new interview with Variety, Jennifer admitted that things are not always smooth sailing for them. Because her and Ben's relationship has already broken down once, Jen says they both have "PTSD." Especially when you have to put your personal life on display.



"We both have post-traumatic stress disorder due to the breakup. But we are older and wiser. We also realized that it doesn't matter what others think. The main thing is to be true to yourself. As artists, we have to follow our hearts. So I followed heart and did something that many people might not think was the best idea. But I had to do it,” says Jennifer.



"If you, like me, have ever lost hope and almost given up, don't do it. Because true love exists. Yes, it's real," Lopez said.
