Of course.

But if your spouse was at a work event for you and was rude and looked bored, wouldn’t you be upset that he couldn’t pull it together? It seems passive aggressive… Obviously meant a lot to her to be there and be there with him and he couldn’t pull it together. I’m the worlds biggest introvert and homebody, I totally sympathize if someone would rather be home on their couch in comfy clothes, but if it were important to my spouse to show up and act enthusiastic for a little while I think I would do it or at least try harder than that.

This marriage is very, very new. To have these kinds of cracks so early and for her not to know this about him given their past...and his very checkered past is crazy. Not to mention they are in their 50s now. She wasn't going to change him in his 30s, she sure as hell ain't going to change him in his 50s!

I’m still missing JLo and ARod. He treated her like a queen and their kids were so cute together. What happened????

He'd have to be pretty dumb not to realize he'd have it even worse with her. Not that any woman should put up with his immaturity, this is just from his childish perspective.

I'm sure she's dying inside that practically the whole world has seen this side of her.

Why should JLo be embarrassed? She had iron control and discipline. She has reached the heights of fame and fortune on her talent and tenacity.

She will control Ben Affleck. Either he will straighten up or he will be thrown out. Jenny from the block is not the White girl J Garner. She will not tolerate his stupidity. Love or no love. JLo is not a naive teenager. Jenny from the block has been around the block a few times and with more gangsta men than poor ol addict sad sack boy!

What does Garner being white have to do with anything? Check your racism.

NP. Just to be clear, PP’s comments were not racist. It’s not racist to mention someone’s race!

Anyway, I do agree that JLo has iron control and discipline, I admire her. I also sympathize with Ben Affleck because I too would get fidgety and bored at these events. Who knows what’s on his mind. Maybe something is going on at home? With his family? With something else. The camera caught a brief interaction, and it’s really silly to sit here and try to analyze it.

It would be silly if Jlo wasn’t flaunting their picture perfect romance all over social media like a hormonal teenager. But since she does, everyone’s entitled to look at these two people who are in the public eye (partially by means of her ongoing public displays of affection) and say hey, the candid outtakes don’t match your gloating narrative.

My guess is that they'll be divorced and she'll be engaged to someone else.
Not sure about him.

That's only three years away. I am betting she will stay between 7 and 9/10 years on this one, a lifetime for her. I agree with other posters and her own words, "This has to work" ie. She will not easily let go, he will bring her down and it's going to be painful. I think he wears people down in a really difficult, painful, tragic way. He's pretty troubled.

I think if she wasn't so heavily ensconced in her heavy pr it would be less of a big deal. But that marketing, pr machine has been a huge part of her career and businesses for decades. (Hello benny medina). She can't help herself. So she makes it worse for herself because she inflates everything and why she has not learned to lay low after embarrassing herself with multiple divorces speaks to her deep need for validation and attention. Just a very hungry person

He cheated on her.

And did you not see the same miserable look on his face in every photo op and red carpet event that Ben has. It was emasculating for him to be trotted around like that as second fiddle.

A-Rod has a looooonnnnngggggggg history of being a cheater in a big way. He's cheated in every marriage and every relationship and he's been with a TON of celebrity women.

Beyonce lays very low in this regard. She pops up when a new album is coming out and such, but she pretty much keeps a low profile for a celebrity as big as she is in a way that J-Lo has never done. Jay-Z and B also openly talked about the struggle in their marriage when he cheated...they didn't' try to paint everything as rosy and perfect 24/7.

Taylor also learned with age and she keeps her relationships very private now.

J-Lo definitely has 'bad boy syndrome'. Every guy she's gone hard for had a history of cheating and a host of other issues. PDiddy, Ben, Marc Anthony (4 marriages), etc.

She should go date an accountant or something.

but why? why did it matter a lot to her to be there and be there with him?

Who the F knows? But he knew what he was getting into, going into all this. JLO is not exactly shy about her ambitions, and what she expects… Why would he entered into this marriage if they didn’t want the same things? With people like this, it’s never going to be good enough. They each married someone expecting the other person to be perfect and fix other issues and unfortunately that’s not how life works. I suspect they are incompatible and I give them 5 years. It’s very sad for the kids.

Been his blame, Jen garner for everything including his drinking. He’s just going to blame JLO for the same things and vice versa with her. To them, love and marriage is about finding the right person, never about being the right person.

Yes, and wasn't the last one A-Rod, who has spent most of his life banging everything that moves?

He cheated? Like in the past? He still cheating…

Does anyone remember several years ago, when a talk show host (Wendy Willians?) dissed beyonce by saying she speaks poorly, and sounds like she has a fifth grade education in interviews? It was a big story and then compilations of her stumbling in interviews came out, etc

I swear, after that debacle beyonce laid low. Now whether she speaks poorly is irrelevant, mostly, she just pivoted and gave a big f you by not coming out of the woodwork unless promoting a project or tour. In other words, she learned. Jennifer Lopez does not easily learn. She's willfull and takes in little from anyone else. Her grandiosity makes it hard to learn. I really believe that. I would die on that hill.

I get it, but he is human with 5 kids. I'd cut him a break. They need all the fan support they can get because it can't be easy, both being celebrities.

Ben and jlos 5 kids are probably like anyone else’s only child. How often do you think they’re actually around their kids? With jlos schedule ben has probably more than doubled his commitments and time away.
