I think the biggest issue her was that JLO wanted the world to believe that BA was in love with her for all along, including during his marriage. Thus, "the greatest love story..." etc. Him wanting to spend the rest of his life with her now was not enough. BA was not on board with this. |
Although I think this is true on her end, he’s never been particularly sensitive to Jen G’s feelings. |
If this is true, Affleck would have seen it. He’s an idiot for marrying that. |
She craves fame, exposure, and drama. It fuels her. She probably talks about work and PR all the time. So thirsty, so exhausting.
He’s the opposite. He doesn’t need or want media exposure. He works on movies and other projects quietly. He doesn’t enjoy red carpets or big spectacles. Most people in recovery don’t enjoy such things. Having been married to Garner, on some level he knows what “normal” families look like and probably wants some semblance of normalcy…at least for his kids. He can’t help but notice that JLo isn’t a good mom…she’s a diva. I agree with the pp who brought up JLo’s non-binary kid and his own non-binary kid. Straw that broke the camel’s back? Maybe his kid is dealing with mental health issues and he’s feeling scared/guilty and lashing out? |
Maybe he finally realized that Garner is a truly good person and a fantastic mom…especially in comparison to JLo? Maybe he noticed some worrisome behavior in her kids that he doesn’t want his kids exposed to? I mean, do JLo’s kids go to school? Are they well educated and bright? Do they have issues—behavioral or mental health—that he only noticed once they lived together? Can’t you imagine Ben saying things like, “Your kids need you. Stop taking on new projects and try to be a good mom.” |
I am not sure why people think that their issues as a couple are due to her behavior and not his behavior. Oh, wait, I know why. |
I think they are both immature, selfish people. But based on what we’ve observed, JLo is an absentee mom while Garner is very hands on. With that in mind, it’s reasonable to assume there is a big difference among the kids. Most couples fight about parenting when the kids are tweens/teens. It’s normal. |

Disagree that he doesn’t love publicity. All of his relationships have been with the highest profile women possible. Gwyneth Paltrow post Brad Pitt and an Oscar win and starring in a ton of movies, then onto JLO who was at the top and remember he did that ridiculous music video with her showing him grabbing her ass on a yacht. It was so over-the-top, even matt Damon publicly intervened and said how ridiculous it was. That ends and immediately he gets with Jen garner who just transitioned from a tv star to a huge movie star with the super hero movies and 13 going on 30 was a blockbuster. Now back with JLO when she is far from stepping away but releasing new music, a ton of movies, trying to do a big tour… insane to say he hates the spotlight. He loves it, but he struggles with addiction and depression so he wants it only on his terms but that is not how it works. So he ends up being miserable. They BOTH have major issues. It’s always the way. A sane and healthy Brad Pitt didn’t run to Angelina Jolie so they could live a quiet normal life. He wanted to escape into crazy and chaos and that is what he got. Same with Ben. |
This gem is from her Movieline 1998 interview.
Now that Lopez has edged up to what she calls "the bottom of the A-list of actresses." how does she view the women with whom she's been in contention for roles? Like, say, Salma Hayek? "We're in two different realms. She's a sexy bombshell and those are the kinds of roles she does. I do all kinds of different things. It makes me laugh when she says she got offered Selena, which was an outright lie. If that's what she does to get herself publicity, then that's her thing. Columbia offered me the choice of Fools Rush In or Anaconda, but I chose the fun B-movie because the Fools script wasn't strong enough." Cameron Diaz? "A lucky model who's been given a lot of opportunities I just wish she would have done more with. She's beautiful and has a great presence, though, and in My Best Friend's Wedding, I thought, 'When directed, she can be good.'" Gwyneth Paltrow? "Tell me what she's been in? I swear to God, I don't remember anything she was in. Some people get hot by association. I heard more about her and Brad Pitt than I ever heard about her work." Claire Danes? "A good actress. Her emotional and inner life are available to her, which is a good start. But I feel like I see a lot of the same thing with every character she does. She's not that way in U-Turn, though." Winona Ryder? "I was never a big fan of hers. In Hollywood she's revered, she gets nominated for Oscars, but I've never heard anyone in the public or among my friends say, 'Oh, I love her.' She's cute and talented, though, and I'd like her just for looking like my older sister, Leslie." Madonna? "Do I think she's a great performer? Yeah. Do I think she's a great actress? No. Acting is what I do, so I'm harder on people when they say, 'Oh, I can do that - I can act.' I'm like, 'Hey, don't spit on my craft.” |
Oh stop with this. Fin was non-binary before Jlo's family entered the mix. It's just something the two kids have in common. |
Wow. Someone should tweet the link to the article. Talk about a PR nightmare. |
What an arrogant moron to talk about her colleagues like this. As if she's done anything impressive beyond the one George Clooney movie decades ago. |
Renting a new house = legal separation Holing up in a hotel somewhere = taking a week or two apart to reflect You're way too invested in this relationship and in your adoration of a selfish, witchy shrew. |
Um, what? Nobody was doing perfumes before J. LO? Bwahahahahaha You are insane. |
